We all know hiring a cleaning service can transform your home and free up valuable time. But, it’s essential to understand their scope. While we excel at routine cleanliness, certain areas and tasks fall outside our expertise. Knowing these limitations ensures a smooth and effective partnership.
“Professional cleaners bring efficiency and expertise,” says Aaron Abrams, President and CEO of MOLLY MAID Canada. “They tackle the daily grime, allowing you to focus on life’s priorities.” This includes thorough cleaning of bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens and living areas. However, some jobs fall into repair and extra care territory and require specialized skills and equipment.
Deep Carpets and Upholstery
Surface vacuuming is standard, but deep stains and embedded dirt demand professional carpet cleaners. They possess the tools and techniques to revitalize fabrics, eliminating allergens and odours.
High, Inaccessible Areas
Safety is paramount. Cleaning services prioritize their staff’s well-being. Tasks involving tall ladders or precarious positions are avoided. This includes chandeliers, high window exteriors and the tops of very high cabinets.
Severe Mould Infestations
While minor mould spots might be addressed, extensive black mould indicates a serious issue. Professional mould remediation is necessary to eliminate the source and protect your health.
Pest-Infested Homes
Dealing with infestations of insects or rodents requires specialized extermination. Cleaning services avoid these situations to prevent the spread of pests and protect their equipment.
Delicate and Irreplaceable Items
Antiques, heirlooms, fine art, and expensive electronics are typically avoided. These items require specialized care to prevent damage. Inform your cleaning service about such items so they can work around them.
