What’s a Cleaning Agency?

There are several benefits for both clients & cleaners

What is a Cleaning Agency?

 

An agency is a company that connects qualified job candidates to clients to meet a specific need. In our case, we connect qualified independent professional house cleaners to clients in need of their cleaning services.

 

What Makes Us Different From Other Cleaning Companies?

 

  • We work with customers who aren’t interested in going through the bigger name cleaning companies and rather connect with local independent cleaners for their cleaning services. There’s a personal touch that you receive from working with an independent cleaner that you just don’t get working with the larger brands.
  • Smiles Are Maid Cleaning Agency provides the best of both worlds. You get the personal touch of working with a local independent house cleaner while still getting the customer service experience of working with a national brand.
  • We believe your home is a sacred place and that you should feel like you know who you’re letting into it. That’s why we take the time to get to know you as a person so we can not only match you with a qualified cleaner but also a qualified person to be in your space. If we get it right, which we usually do, then you’ll hopefully maintain a long-term relationship with your house cleaner through our agency. If we happen to get it wrong, we’ll do our best to keep re-matching you until there’s a smile on your face!
