1. Anyone can say they run a Maid Service! Maid Services are one of the easiest and cheapest businesses to start—almost no experience and almost no start up costs required! Do you know what supplies are coming into your home?

2. Beware of the “Underground Market” which operates illegally! Anyone can start hiring “employees” and take on customers. Underground cleaning companies don’t report their income, or pay payroll taxes, sales tax, insurance or workers compensation. They are putting the paying client at risk for nominal “savings”, until something is broken, damaged, stolen, or there is an injury. Are you protected?

3. Employee Turnover can be as high as 300%! Most maid services have super high employee turnover. This means 15 to 25 NEW PEOPLE in your home each year. Who is touching your belongings?

4. High employee turnover is the #1 factor in THEFT related issues for maid services.

5. No shows! “I came home after work, and discovered the maid service never showed up today!”

6. Awkward Feedback Moments. Small companies tend to lack any formal feedback or “concerns” sharing practices. Are you the supervisor too?

7. Declining Quality. So many maid services offer no formal quality control process resulting in inconsistent cleaning.
