Before you hand over a key
How to hire a residential cleaner here
This directory lists crews. It does not employ, bond, or guarantee them. Ask these yourself.
Can I see an insurance certificate?
Ask before a key changes hands. We mark a row "not stated" unless they showed us a certificate. We do not insure them.
Who shows up?
Same person, family, or a rotating crew. That is their answer, not ours.
Who brings supplies?
They bring them, or they use yours. Say pet and finish constraints up front.
Pets?
Say the species. Ask if they need the dog crated. Do not assume a "pets ok" chip covers a nervous animal.
Weekly or one-shot?
Recurring visits and a move-out reset are different jobs. Get both prices in writing.
WA business license?
Routine residential clean is not a contractor-registration trade. A UBI is still the normal path. Homework: business.wa.gov. Not legal advice.
