What to Check When Hiring a Cleaner for Your Home

Inviting someone into your home to help with cleaning is a big decision and one that should come with peace of mind, not guesswork. Whether you’re hiring a cleaner for yourself, your parents, or a loved one, here are the key things you should always look for before choosing a cleaning company:

✅ Are They Fully Insured?

Accidents are rare, but they can happen. A reputable cleaning company should have full public liability insurance to protect both your home and their staff. This gives you

reassurance that if something does go wrong, you’re covered.

✅ Are Their Staff DBS Checked?

You should feel confident and safe with anyone working in your home. A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check confirms that the person has no history that would make them unsafe to work in a domestic environment especially important when cleaning for older adults or vulnerable people.

✅ Are They Checkatrade Approved?

Checkatrade is a trusted directory of vetted tradespeople and service providers. If a cleaning company is listed there, it means they’ve passed background checks, submitted insurance details, and are reviewed by real customers. It’s a sign of professionalism and transparency.
