What to Check Before Hiring a Cleaner

Trust is everything when letting someone into your home. Here is what to look for:

  • DBS checks — ask whether cleaners have been DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked. This is standard practice for reputable cleaning companies
  • Insurance — make sure the company carries public liability insurance. This protects you if anything is accidentally damaged during cleaning
  • References — reputable companies will have references or reviews from existing customers. Check Google, Trustpilot, or Checkatrade
  • Trial clean — many companies offer a trial clean so you can assess the quality before committing to a regular booking
  • Products and equipment — check whether the company supplies its own products or expects you to provide them. If you have preferences (eco-friendly, fragrance-free), mention them upfront
