Hire a cleaning service or maid

I want to ask you is it better to hire a cleaning service or an individual housekeeper fory your vacation property? The major question for most of the owners renting out their vacation homes is “how do I decide on and find the requisite cleaning staff?” It is necessary to have a person/staff on hand to keep the place clean. Given the need, the choice often falls between hiring an individual housekeeper and engaging the services of a janitorial company. There are positives and negatives to both the choices. In the end, the decision may well depend on the type and the size of the rental property and on the scale of your budget. Generally for small vacation properties, an individual housekeeper may be the best option while a large property with many rooms could be maintained better with the help of a janitorial company. The decision is an important one since it can affect your bottomline as well as the property’s appeal in a significant way. We discuss some pros and cons here: Pros of going with a cleaning service 1. You should be able to locate the cleaning service you require with ease. A search of the yellow pages or the Internet should help you locate a cleaning service in quick time. But locating the cleaning service is just the first step; for once you have located them, it is essential to check up on their background in order to ensure that they are reputable as well as reliable. 2. The cleaning service is quite affordable especially when you consider the fact that they charge less than an individual housekeeper. In addition, you can depend on the cleaning crews to be more reliable as any sick member of the cleaning crew can be easily replaced, unlike an individual housekeeper. 3. The cleaning service may not require much time to complete a job as their cleaning crews generally consists of two to three workers. In addition, the duration of the job depends on the size of the property as well as on the workload. Despite these positives, there are a few negatives when it comes to hiring a cleaning crew.
