Recruiting domestic cleaning maids
Recruiting domestic cleaning maids to undertake the domestic cleaning of your family home is becoming increasingly common these days. The domestic cleaning industry is estimated to be worth somewhere between £4 to £8 billion pounds according to various sources and it is still growing at a very rapid pace.
Many people who decide to use the service of domestic cleaning maids often find that their cleaning maid is unreliable, turns up late, leaves early, or doesn’t even turn up at!
How can you minimise the risk of employing an unreliable domestic cleaning maid?
If you are advertising locally to recruit your own domestic cleaning maid then it is completely in your own hands to check out each individual candidate.
Personally I would recommend that you conduct every interview at the candidates’ own residence, this will give you a good idea of each candidates own personal hygiene standards.
Be careful to look out for tell tale signs of unreliability, with experience these can become only too obvious to you.
Ask to use their facilities whilst you are conducting your interview and take a good look around for cleanliness
Carefully formulate the questions that you are going to ask your candidate to get them to open up about their past work or personal experiences, its amazing with the right questions how some candidates will gladly tell you how they have let various people or companies down in the past!
Make sure that you request and check references from the candidate and always follow them up.
Request identification from candidates to make sure they are who they say that they are!
Request that the candidate obtains for you a disclosure form.
Formulate a written contract for the domestic cleaning maid to sign this should cover various eventualities to safe guard you and your rights but also take care to also safe guard the rights of the domestic cleaning maid.
Employ the cleaning maid initially on a trial basis.
Of course you can always employ the service of a professional domestic cleaning company to do this for you, there are many of these companies up and down the country and most will have rigorously checked out their domestic cleaning maids and so save you the stress, time and effort.
Please feel free to add to my checklist.

Spring clean where it came from
The saying Spring Clean originated many years ago when it was not unusual to cover old slate or stone floors with Hay during the cold winter months. Once the weather started warming up during the early spring then the hay would be cleaned away, hence where the saying spring clean came from.

A definition of Franchising
Franchising (from the French for honesty or freedom) is a method of doing business wherein a franchisor licenses trademarks and tried and proven methods of doing business to a franchisee in exchange for a recurring payment, and usually a percentage piece of gross sales or gross profits as well as the annual fees. Various tangibles and intangibles such as national or international advertising, training, and other support services are commonly made available by the franchisor, and may indeed be required by the franchisor, which generally requires audited books, and may subject the franchisee or the outlet to periodic and surprise spot checks. Failure of such tests typically involve non-renewal or cancellation of franchise rights.
A business operated under a franchise arrangement is often called a chain store, franchise outlet, or simply franchise

Domestic household trades explained
Household domestic trades can be divided up into several different sub categories or trades much like those found in other industries such as the building industry for example where you find many trades working under the builders banner, including such trades as bricklayers, joiners/carpenters, plasterers, roofers, ceramic tilers, painters and decorators, electricians, plumbers etc.
The various different trades within domestic housework as I have categorized them are as follows: -
Carpet and Upholstery Cleaners
Carpet and Upholstery cleaners specialise in shampooing carpets and household upholstery.
Chimney Sweeps
Chimney Sweeps specialise in cleaning household chimneys by the use of industrial type vacuum cleaners and chimney sweep brushes and rods.
Domestic Cleaning maid

The domestic cleaning maid will do most household domestic cleaning tasks such as general hovering, dusting throughout, mopping of tiled floors, cleaning of bathrooms, ensuites and kitchens, cob webbing and polishing of woodwork etc.
Home Help
Home-helpers will generally do cleaning, tidying up, dish washing, socializing (providing company for older clients) and general errands such as doing bits of food shopping etc
Housekeeper
The domestic housekeeper is as near as you will find to a Jack-of-all-trades within the domestic cleaning industry. Usually the housekeeper will within reason do the domestic cleaning, tidying up, ironing, clean ovens & hobs, also he/she will usually be quite prepared to include some home help type of jobs such as dishwashing, socializing and shopping errands etc.
Ironing Lady
The Ironing lady will as the job description states do your entire household ironing for you.
Oven,Hob Cleaners
Oven, hob cleaners offer a specialist oven and hob cleaning service to a high standard.
Window Cleaners
Window cleaners will clean your windows externally and increasingly these days internally also.
Also there are categories such as aupairs and live in nannies, but in both these cases I feel that you are beginning to drift a little too far away from the general domestic housekeeper.
There are also an increasing number of cleaning companies that are now offering the services of sexy cleaning maids, but I will just categorise them for this purpose as Domestic Cleaning maids.
Can you spot a trade that I have missed?
