In the past, house cleaners were armed with a simple, cheap bucket and mop. In some cases, they even used the equipment and cleaning supplies of the clients. But now there are professional technicians entrusted with the care of homes and the health of the homeowners. They have a much broader range of knowledge than in the past and are able to deliver specialized care. However, there are still poorly trained, unprofessional house cleaners out there who can cause damage to your home:
1. Rushing
Anyone can make the mistake of rushing to do one’s job and end up causing problems. A rushed job can often be an unfinished job with less than satisfactory results.
2. Dropping Things
We all drop things. It happens. But, poorly trained, unprofessional house cleaners may perform their work in a careless manner. That’s how things can end up broken. Accidents happen, but professional cleaners know how to minimize the risk of accidents by doing an assessment of your home before jumping into cleaning. They will ask you to remove any valuable items and if there are any items or furnishings that are loose.
3. Not Cleaning Thoroughly
Many times cleaners have multiple homes to clean in a day. They may miss spots or fail to scrub thoroughly. If they take shortcuts by not spending as much time on a task or by skipping tasks, then you will not get a thorough cleaning.
4. Failing to Take Proper Care of Cleaning Tools
If cleaners aren’t trained how to properly take care of their tools and equipment, then these tools won’t perform as well and may even malfunction while in use which can cause damage to your home.
5. Using the Wrong Tools
Not using the right tools for each task can lead to damage. For example, using an old or wrong type of vacuum can cause damage to floors, carpeting, upholstery, etc. Using the wrong cleaning solutions can also cause damage to surfaces.
6. Using The Wrong Or Unhealthy Cleaning Products
Untrained house cleaners may use cleaning products that damage surfaces in your home. These products might also contain chemicals that irritate the lungs and eyes, cause headaches and other health problems.
