In choosing a house cleaning service, you must decide between hiring an independent individual or a professional cleaning company like Helping Hands Cleaning Services.
Background-Checked & Direct-Hire: Every technician on our team undergoes a comprehensive background check and pre-employment drug screening before entering your home. We never outsource to unvetted gig contractors.
Unmatched Reliability: If an independent house cleaner gets sick before a big party you're hosting, you're out of luck. With Helping Hands Cleaning Services operating continuously since 2001, our full staff guarantees your cleaning gets done on schedule every single time.
Fully Insured & Bonded: Rest easy knowing your home is backed by full general liability and workers' compensation insurance to protect both your property and our cleaning technicians.

6 Criteria for Choosing a Cleaning Service
Use these 6 essential benchmarks when evaluating cleaning services across Elmhurst, Glen Ellyn, and the western Chicago suburbs.
Criteria #1: Avoid choosing purely based upon price
Be aware of vendors who present one quote and ask for more money when they arrive, use unscreened or uninsured independent contractors, or force you to supply products.
Criteria #2: Request written quotes & multi-package options
The best cleaning services provide upfront written quotes and offer flexible recurring frequencies (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly) plus specialized add-on services.
Criteria #3: 200% Satisfaction Guarantee
We are so confident in our quality that if you are not 100% happy with any area, tell us within 24 hours and we will re-clean your home completely free of charge.
Criteria #4: Double check their credibility & certifications
Always check verified client reviews and ensure they are active members of ISSA, BSCAI, and GBAC-certified for hospital-grade sanitization protocols.
Criteria #5: Fully Insured, Bonded & Background-Checked
Ensure cleaners are insured for theft and breakage, backed by workers' compensation, and pre-screened with federal/state background checks and drug testing.
Criteria #6: High-End Tools, Techniques & Microfiber Systems
Demand commercial-grade HEPA vacuums, color-coded microfiber towels to prevent cross-contamination, aprons, and intensive employee training systems.
