Cleaning FAQs

While hiring a housekeeper isn’t essential, it can be highly beneficial. People who especially benefit from a housekeeper include those with busy schedules or physical disabilities, frequent travelers, and senior citizens.

Before hiring a housekeeper, ask questions about their services and experience. Inquire about previous references, if they’re insured, and what happens if you have a problem with the service. Also, ask if they provide cleaning supplies, if you’ll receive the same housekeeper each time, and if you must be home during the cleaning.

While some people use the terms interchangeably, maids clean the home while housekeepers take on additional responsibilities. The cost to hire a maid ranges from $100 to $200. Housekeepers are often hired independently or through a referral service. They also typically do more tasks than a maid, such as cooking, shopping, or childcare. When hiring a maid or a housekeeper, be sure both parties agree on what the position entails and what term fits best.
