It’s normal to ask yourself how to be sure if a cleaner is trustworthy. When it comes to letting someone enter your home, trust is crucial. Before putting your cleaning needs in professional hands, you need to know if they are reliable. In this blog post, we tell you five tips that guarantee a cleaning service is trustworthy.

Discard “under the radar” companies

It’s not recommended to deal with a cleaner that’s not doing business entirely under the law. Every company should operate registered and licensed as part of fulfilling their obligations as a business. A company without proper registrations could be avoiding taxes or hiding a shady work process. Although “under the radar” cleaners seem cheaper, expenses might multiply if there is a problem. On the other hand, hiring a fully licensed and registered cleaning company with high-quality and reliable services is totally worth it.

Ask how they deal with unforeseen situations

Accidents can happen in every type of job, and a reliable cleaner should consider it. Before hiring a cleaning company, it’s important to know how they cover accidental damage to your property or how they deal with an injury. Insurance is one of the first things professional cleaners should have. However, if you feel doubtful about the matter, it’s ok to ask. Understanding the company’s policies and actions that minimize risks will give you peace of mind.

Check online reviews

It is essential to know if a cleaning company matches what is expected from a professional house cleaning service. Many online platforms and social networks let you access customer reviews with a few clicks. Everyone can boast about their own services, but not everyone can support their claims with actions. Search for online reviews to ensure that a cleaning company delivers quality and reliable services. 

Consider how the company chooses its cleaners

Maybe the personnel selection process may seem irrelevant for a client. However, knowing how a company hires its cleaners will help you trust them. Companies should run a background check, ask for references, and carefully vet every candidate before taking them in as employees. Also, it is easier to rely on a company that trains its cleaners.

Look for experienced cleaners

Making a profit as a professional cleaner depends entirely on the clients’ satisfaction—after all, unhappy clients won’t come back. The wrong technique while cleaning and disinfecting can lead to health hazards (or end up in unsatisfactory results). You know that a cleaning company is reliable because they have been around for many years. The cleaning business is a highly competitive environment; only the best survives the test of time.

The first step is cleaning your kitchen!

6 Best low carbs recipes

1. Smoked salmon, avocado, and rocket salad

For this delicious salad, you only need some rocket leaves (arugula), an avocado, half Lebanese cucumber, 3 oz of smoked salmon slices, and sesame seeds. For the dressing, use lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Preparing this salad won’t take you more than ten minutes, and you will have a nutritious and tasty meal for one person. Here is the full recipe.

2. Vegan collard greens

In roughly half an hour, you can make a savory meal with collard greens and other veggies. Cook garlic and onion in a big heavy-bottomed skillet until they become transparent, then add cherry tomatoes. Add the chopped collard greens with the rest of the ingredients (salt, pepper, paprika, vinegar), stir it up, and then cook for 20 minutes. Check out the full recipe here.

3. Shrimp lettuce wraps with peanut sauce

These shrimp lettuce wraps are another example that low-carb doesn’t mean tasteless. The secret is the easy-to-do peanut sauce that only needs two ingredients! Cook the shrimps in the pan and chop every ingredient (cucumber, avocado, carrot, and cilantro) to fit them in the lettuce cups. Check out the detailed recipe.

These Thai Lettuce Wraps or Larb Gai are similar recipes, but with chicken or pork instead of shrimp.

4. Zucchini noodles with pesto

We know that seeing noodles between low-carb meals might seem weird, but that’s the whole point of zucchini noodles—they are the low-carb alternative to pasta! To make this recipe, you only need zucchini and the right tool to turn it into noodles. This meal takes no longer than fifteen minutes, and you don’t even need to cook! Toss the noodles into pesto (check this basil pesto recipe.) Add a few cherry tomatoes, and your fresh and healthy meal is ready. 

5. Bunless burger

If you fancy a burger, make it low-carb! The trick is taking the buns out of your recipe and stuffing the burger with more vegetables. Burgers are flexible meals, you can fill them up with any vegetables, and you can cook them on the grill or a pan. Here is a tasty steakhouse bunless burger recipe.

6. Chicken and asparagus lemon stir-fry

You will need lean chicken breast, asparagus, fresh lemon, garlic, and ginger to make this low-carb dish. Chop and season the chicken breast and throw the ingredients to stir-fry in a wok or cast-iron pan. It won’t take you more than 30 minutes! Here the full recipe.
