Many people see the New Year as a time for resolutions and beneficial changes. For us, the New Year is drawing many new and exciting aspects to our house cleaning company.
Tthe past few months brought us a completely redesigned website and a new wrap job on our company car. We also picked the recipient of our 2nd Annual Deanie Douglas house cleaning award! We could not be happier with the new changes and hope you will enjoy them just as much as we do.
The new website offers many new features that not only benefits us but you, the customer as well. It not only saves us time but it also conveniently answers your questions, allowing you to learn more about us as a house cleaning company. We post blog entries weekly. It includes company news releases, cleaning tips, and other fun and interesting information. Like us on Facebook to track when we post new blogs entries!
Our freshly wrapped car is pinker than ever with a whole new design. Do not forget to wave when you see us in the Mukilteo, Lynnwood, or Snohomish County area! You will notice minimal changes to our flyers and quality cards, the same great information with a new look.
Sometimes it is nice to do a little modernization even as a house cleaning company.
Most importantly the New Year has brought the new awardee of our 2nd Annual Deanie Douglas Award. One-woman free house cleaning for an entire year! Our recipient of the 2nd Annual Deanie Douglas Award is Jenny Westby! We are as excited as ever to get to know this incredible lady who has inspired us with her story of battling cancer.
Jenny had two friends nominate her for her strong will and gentle heart while undergoing such a stressful time in her life. Jenny is married, with two young sons and has been battling cancer since 2007. A friend of hers quoted Jenny as having strong faith “which brings her unspeakable joy and hope for herself and her families’ future. Her smile and laugh are contagious.” Jenny is working hard to fight cancer, and we could not be happier to provide her and her family free house cleaning for the upcoming year while she undergoes treatment. We wish her nothing but the best and are praying for her recovery.
We wish all of you a happy and prosperous New Year! We also look forward to providing you with quality house cleaning services in the upcoming year. Happy 2013!
“Buyer Beware” – Not All House cleaners Will Save You Money
While it’s true that having someone else take over your cleaning tasks will save you time and money overall, you’ll want to be sure the house cleaning company you hire is actually going to save you money and not end up costing you more. What does that mean?
Well, in today’s social media culture, anyone can make a post stating that they are a housecleaner and start taking clients. This person could be fantastic— a knowledgeable cleaner with good ethics who just happens to not have insurance or licensing— or they could be an opportunist looking for easy access to your trust and your valuables. They could be a careful and consistent cleaner, or they could be accident-prone and sloppy.
If you’ve hired a cleaner without proper licensing, training, or insurance, any mishaps resulting in an injured worker, broken belongings, or missing items will be your responsibility. You’ll be responsible for providing medical care, repairing, or replacing belongings by filing a claim under your own homeowners’ insurance policy, where you will pay your full deductible.
If accidents do occur, a properly licensed and insured cleaning company will assume all responsibility and cover any damages caused by their employees. They’ll also provide worker’s compensation for any injuries that an employee may suffer while on the job.
Hiring a trustworthy, licensed and insured house cleaning company with great reviews that performs background checks and provides training for all of their cleaning technicians may be slightly more expensive than hiring Regina Random from Facebook, but in the long run, it is a money-saving choice. Training, trustworthy technicians with clear background checks offer you something truly valuable: Peace of mind. An insured and bonded company doing work in your house while you are away can save you thousands upon thousands of dollars.
