Have your house cleaned: do it right the first time!

Dear reader, welcome to our comprehensive guide to getting your home cleaned. We, the team at Randstad Furniture Cleaning, are happy to share our expertise with you. Whether you are looking for a one-time clean, a deep clean or regular cleaning services, we have all the information you need to make your home shine again.

Why you should have your house cleaned

Imagine coming home after a long day at work and being greeted by a spotlessly clean house. No dust balls in the corners, no greasy fingerprints on the mirrors. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? That’s exactly what you get when you have your home cleaned by professionals.

But there's more. Here are five reasons why more and more people are choosing professional cleaning:

You save valuable time
You enjoy a professional result
We use professional cleaning products and equipment
You experience less stress and have more free time
Your home is cleaned regularly and consistently

As Maria van der Meer, an expert in home hygiene, says: “A clean home is not only more pleasant to live in, it also contributes to a healthier living environment.” And who wouldn’t want that?

Types of cleaning services for your home

You may be wondering what types of cleaning services are out there. Well, there is something for everyone. Just take a look at this overview:

Type of cleaning	Description	Frequency
Regular cleaning	We clean your living spaces basically	Weekly/Biweekly
Deep cleaning	We thoroughly tackle all areas	2-4 times a year
One-time cleaning	We do intensive cleaning for special occasions	As needed

Specialist cleaning	We focus on specific items such as carpets or windows	As needed

Major cleaning of your home

Have you ever heard of a 'spring cleaning'? This is not just a regular cleaning. No, with a spring cleaning we really go into depth. We crawl into all the nooks and crannies, we even tackle those places you may never have thought of.

When is such a big clean-up ideal? Consider the following situations:

When spring is in the air and you want to freshen up your home
After a major renovation (you know, all that construction dust…)
Before or after a move
If certain places in the house have become really stubbornly dirty

What can you expect during such a major clean? We give your carpets and upholstery a thorough cleaning, we descale your bathroom and kitchen appliances until they shine again, and we even take care of your skirting boards, door frames and light switches. Yes, we even look in your cupboards and drawers. Of course, only if you want us to!

The Basics of House Cleaning

Let's go back to basics. Because there are also some golden tips for daily or weekly cleaning:

Start at the top and work your way down. Dust just floats down, not up!
Use the right cleaning agents. Not every product is suitable for every surface.
Open windows and doors while cleaning. Fresh air does wonders.
Create a cleaning schedule. This will prevent it from getting too much for you.

These tips may seem obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people overlook them. And guess what? If you follow these basic principles, you’ll make our jobs a lot easier when we come over for a big clean!

Deep cleaning your home

Now that we’re talking about deep cleaning, do you know the difference between regular cleaning and deep cleaning? With deep cleaning, we go one step further. We tackle places that you may not have seen in years. Think of:

The space behind your refrigerator (yes, dust balls live there too!)
Your ventilation grilles (did you know that clean grilles can reduce your energy bill?)
Your curtains and blinds (a breeding ground for dust mites)
The joints between your tiles (where mold likes to hide)

A professional deep clean can do wonders, even for homes that may seem hopeless at first glance. We’ve seen many a “lost cause” turn into a sparkling clean home. It’s like magic, but with cleaning products!

How to perform a thorough cleaning

You may be wondering how we go about deep cleaning. Well, we have a proven system:

First we prepare everything. We gather our materials and protect sensitive surfaces.
Then we start with the dusting. We work from top to bottom, just as we advised you.
Then we get to work wet. We clean all surfaces with the right agents.
The bathroom and toilet receive extra attention. Hygiene is paramount!
Finally, we take care of all the floors. We vacuum and mop until everything shines.
As a final step, we check everything again and update any missed spots.

It may seem like a lot of work, but for us it is a nice routine. We know exactly what we are doing and we do it with pleasure!

Professional cleaning of heavily soiled furniture

Let's talk about your furniture. Have you ever tried to restore a piece that has been neglected for years? to clean the bank? That's no fun. Luckily, we have the right tools and knowledge to make even the dirtiest furniture look like new again.

We use advanced cleaning equipment and have specialist knowledge of different materials. Whether it is a leather armchair, a fabric sofa or a wooden dining table, we know exactly how to handle each piece of furniture.

And you know what the best part is? A professional furniture cleaning can significantly extend the life of your furniture. So not only will they look great again, they will also last longer. Now that's what we call a win-win situation! Leave your cleaning to the professionals at Randstad Furniture Cleaning. We are happy to relieve you of your worries.

The cost of professional cleaning

Now we hear you thinking: “That all sounds great, but what is it going to cost me?” That is a fair question. The cost of having your house cleaned depends on several factors:

How big is your house?
What type of cleaning do you want? (regular, deep, one-time)
How often would you like us to visit?
Where do you live? (Yes, that also plays a role)

To give you an idea, here are some average prices:

For regular cleaning we usually charge between €30 and €50 per hour.
A deep cleaning costs on average between €100 and €300 per session.
For a one-time cleaning, the price is usually between €150 and €500, depending on the size of your home.

How do you choose the right cleaning service?

We understand that choosing a cleaning company can be overwhelming. There are so many options! That's why we're happy to give you some tips to make the right choice:

Ask for references. A good company has no problem sharing customer experiences.
Check if they are properly insured. You don't want to be faced with any surprises.
Discuss the services in detail. Make sure you know exactly what will and will not be cleaned.
Inquire about the products used. Especially if you have specific wishes regarding environmental friendliness.
Read online reviews. Those could be worth gold!

And guess what? We are quite proud of our reviews. Feel free to take a look before you hire us to have your home professionally cleaned.

Preparing for cleaning

If you decide to hire us (and we certainly hope you do!), there are a few things you can do to make the cleaning go as smoothly as possible:

Tidy up. We can work more efficiently if we don't have to maneuver around stuff lying around.
Tell us about your specific needs. Are there any areas that need extra attention? Let us know!
Make sure we can reach everything. If we need to enter certain rooms or cabinets, make sure they are accessible.
Do you have pets? Consider temporarily relocating them. Some animals can become stressed by strangers in the home.

By following these steps, you will not only make our job easier, but you will also ensure that you get the most out of your cleaning. And that is what it is all about, right?

Eco-Friendly Options for Home Cleaning

We notice that more and more people are choosing eco-friendly cleaning options. And you know what? We can only applaud that! There are many advantages to eco-friendly cleaning:

You have fewer harmful chemicals in your home
It's better for the environment (the name says it all)
It is often safer for pets and children

By the way, did you know that some natural cleaning products are just as effective as chemical ones? Take vinegar, for example. It may not smell very nice, but it is a powerful degreaser and descaler. Or how about baking soda? Perfect for absorbing odors and scrubbing stubborn stains.

At Randstad Meubelreiniging we like to offer eco-friendly options. Feel free to ask when you request a quote!

DIY vs. Professional House Cleaning

We understand if you are hesitating between cleaning yourself and outsourcing to professionals. Both options have their pros and cons. Let's list them:

Benefits of cleaning yourself:

You save money
You can clean whenever it suits you
You have complete control over the products and methods used

Benefits of professional cleaning:

You save time (and time is money, right?)
We deliver a more thorough result
We have specialist knowledge and equipment

Do you know what many of our customers do? They combine the best of both worlds. They do the daily maintenance themselves and have us come by periodically for a thorough cleaning. This way, they keep control, but also benefit from our expertise. Smart, right?

Frequency of professional house cleaning

A question we often get is, “How often should I have my house cleaned?” To be honest, there is no clear answer to that. It depends on several factors:

How big is your household?
Do you have pets?
Does anyone in your family have allergies or health problems?
How intensively do you use your home?

But to give you an idea, here is a possible scheme:

Weekly: A basic cleaning of frequently used areas
Monthly: A thorough cleaning of the entire house
Every quarter: A deep cleaning including carpets and upholstery

Remember: this is just a guideline. We are happy to work with you to create a schedule that perfectly suits your needs and lifestyle.

Technology and home cleaning

We live in a time of rapid technological advancement, and the cleaning industry is no exception. There are all sorts of gadgets and apps that make cleaning easier:

Apps that let you book cleaning services (yes, we have one too!)
Smart vacuum cleaners and mopping robots that simplify daily maintenance
High-tech cleaning methods such as steam cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning

But you know what? Despite all this technology, we still believe in the power of the human eye and the human touch. A robot might vacuum the floor, but it won’t notice a spider web in the corner. That’s why we combine the best of both worlds: we use modern technology where possible, but rely on our human expertise where necessary.

Cleaning tips from professionals

After years in the business, we've learned quite a few tricks. Here are some of our favorite tips:

Use microfiber cloths. They are more effective at trapping dust and dirt than traditional cloths.
Work from top to bottom. This will prevent you from having to re-do surfaces that have just been cleaned.
Let the cleaning agents work for a while. Patience is a virtue!
Don't forget the often forgotten places. Think of door handles, light switches and remote controls.
Invest in quality products. Good cleaning products and tools make the job a lot more efficient.

You can also apply these tips yourself. Try them out and you will see that cleaning suddenly becomes a lot easier!

Frequently Asked Questions About Having Your Home Cleaned

We often get the same questions. That's why we've listed the most common ones for you:

Q: Do I have to be home during the cleaning? A: No, that is not necessary. Just make sure there are clear instructions and access to the house.

Q: What if I am not satisfied with the cleaning? A: Let us know right away! We offer a satisfaction guarantee and will be happy to make it right.

Q: How do I handle valuable or fragile items? A: Please inform us of any special items or store them safely for cleaning. We are careful, but prevention is better than cure.
