Shopping for anything these days can be an overwhelming experience and choosing the right cleaner isn’t safe from that feeling. To make things even worse, Home Service professionals are being sold to you from all corners of the country and even overseas.
National sales companies are signing contracts with YOU and selling them to the lowest bidder while pocketing the difference. You may save a few dollars up front, but as soon as something isn’t smooth as silk, good luck trying to get a fix done without pulling at least a few hairs out.
Flooring installers, roofing companies, junk removal, and cleaners. All of us are being inundated by spam sales and robo-callers trying to push their “services”. It can quickly become a race to the bottom if you’re not careful.
The fix? Shop local. Word of mouth, local papers like the Bargain Bulletin. Ask your neighbor. When someone does good work, let them know it and let your community know it. Leave a review, grab an extra business card and give it to someone who might need it.
House Cleaning isn’t rocket science, but it is hard work. And, it’s rewarding work. Seeing how much good we can bring into our community just by helping people get their to-do lists under control. The stress saved by having a clean home to come home to and raise their children in. Something everyone needs but not everyone has the time to do. We enjoy our work because we enjoy the town we live in. We like our neighbors. We love our community. Hiring local means keeping your hard earned money where it will do the most good.
When everything feels like it’s falling apart in every corner of the world, the best thing we can do is to support each other here at home. Do our best to take care of each other and keep our word.
At Anita Cleaner, we’re working hard to keep our prices affordable even with rising costs. We understand that many of our clients are on a budget and having their homes cleaned is the only thing keeping them sane when everything else is so uncertain.
Anita Cleaner isn’t alone in this, either. Many other local professionals are feeling the stress of the economy right now. Every time one of these big, national corporations swoop in to undercut on price, they fall short on quality. Their only goal is to squeeze another dollar out of New Castle. They’re playing a numbers game. One that isn’t focused on quality work and customer service but volume and margins.
The next time you need a roofer, a painter, junk removal, house cleaner, office cleaner, pressure cleaner, plumber – think about your neighbors, first. Reach out to them and ask. Recommend someone if you can. Help each other out.
