Wize Guy answers:

I’ve never hired a cleaning service or an individual, but if I did, yes, my primary consideration would be that the person or persons were licensed, bonded, insured …

Of course I would consider other factors as well (especially if I were hiring an individual) … I would want that person to be someone I could easily communicate with and could count on … reliability and punctuality would be important … I would also need to feel that I could “trust” that person to be in my house, unsupervised.

Key areas for cleaning would be, for me … kitchen and bathrooms, and common areas. I would like to have the windows, window-frames, baseboards, railings, etc., cleaned. Beyond that, a good dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning the hard-floor surfaces. I (personally … I realize others may differ) don’t want the bedrooms fussed with. Dusting and vacuuming would be OK in the bedrooms, but I wouldn’t want someone changing my sheets or, really, touching my bed … or my kids’ beds. I’d prefer to do that myself.

I would never expect someone to do my laundry or dishes unless I had specifically hired him/her for that task.

If I were to hire a cleaning service or individual, what I would want is to come home to a house that is tidied up and neat-looking. The criteria I would apply is … if an unexpected guest showed up, would my house be ready? If I felt confident that the common areas of my house were guest-ready and presentable, the cleaning service will have done a good job.
