FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I got into my line of work at 16. I was always looking for work and I lived in a area where there were a number of retired people who wanted more time to play golf. One day one of the ladies came up to me and asked if I would be willing to just clean her bathrooms and change her bed so she could go with her husband today and just spend the day together and she didn't have to think about the house.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
The World Market in Bend is one of my favorite stores. I have to say though that their floors never looked finished. I was shopping in there one day and just left my card with the manager. I received a call a few weeks later from the company that contracts for the cleaning. When we first did the floors it was like night and day. The store shined. Those are some of my favorite pictures on our website.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When looking for a cleaner, make sure that it is a good fit personally. For your home. this is someone that you are allowing into your personal space and you really want to be sure that you are ok with that. Call references also. This can make you feel better about what is going to happen while you are gone. Make sure that they have insurance for any damage that may happen. Not that damage is what will happen intentionally.
