I have a cousin with a small cleaning biz. She is looking for more jobs and I want to send her some of my leads. My estimate request are submitted from my website. So if I use her as a sub contractor and she is licensed and insured. Can I still have her represent my company by wearing my logo shirt and leaving my company checklist? Everything else is on her own such as tools supplies etc. I would bid the job then she'll do it and I get 5 to 10%. Customers pay me and I pay her company after each job.Would that work? any advice please? This is residential cleaning.
Thanks Trina Staycleancleaning.net

Hi,
I don't have the equipment to do large carpet cleaning jobs. So I have been referring them to a company who refers me. I want to just take care of everything and hire the carpet guy myself. That way customer doesn't have to mess with it and we can complete job. So can I hire them personally as a service for my company since I am sole proprietor. Or do I need to hire as subcontractor. Help
thanx Trina staycleancleaning.net

Can we get some more answers to this question? I need to know about residential cleaning and do you pay hourly or by the job?
Thanks

Hi, I did a walk thru for an office job. I have done only residential so far. There are two very small bathrooms 2 stalls each. The floors are very dirty I think they are linoleum. Could possibly be vinyl flooring. Carpet cleaner with 409 (mixed) was spilled in one bathroom. leaving a nice clean spot. It seems to be a white floor but is various shades of gray right now. How should I clean these? I don't have flooring equipment. Just mop and bucket. It's such a small area I thought I could do it by hand. I have done some pretty bad residential kitchens the same size and had to scrub by hand. What do you think? This is only for the initial. What do I seal linoleum with that will make it shiny after I dull it with the cleaning and scrubbing? and if its vinyl flooring? Also not to sound dumb but how do I tell the difference between linoleum and vinyl? How much would you charge for this part of the initial? Thanks please help!!!!! Trina www.staycleancleaning.net

Hello again! For residential services what does everyone leave at the time of visit? Do you leave a receipt (but then employee would know how much your getting paid). Right now I have the client leave the payment and my employee (whom I trust) writes out a receipt and leaves them a copy. I can't do this when I hire more employees. I do not want them to know how much I get. I knew a few people that worked for cleaning services and they were very resentful about what the company got compared to what they got. One girl left the company and took the client. I think its just better they not know. 1 Do you all just leave a service sheet of some sort? 2 When do you give them a receipt? For those of you who mail out invoices: 1 After they pay do you mail them a receipt also? 2 Doesn't that get costly and time consuming? 3 What if they just want to give your employee the payment instead of mailing it? I can't quite figure out how to do this. ???Please help!!!!! Also it would be cool if someone could send me a sample of what they leave. If it's not a receipt. I need some ideas. Thanks Trina www.staycleancleaning.net

Ok I just read this section and I think I am in trouble. I got an office cleaning contract. Said I would spot clean the carpet in front of the reception desk (about 2ft by 6ft) monthly as needed. I also said I would do the whole office no moving of large furniture just chairs etc. quarterly. I only have a Hoover steam cleaner. Am I going to be able to do this? Is there some other way. I start tomorrow I hope I'm not in over my head. I can't afford to buy some equipment right now. Help!!!!!!! This is my first office job very small office about (1000sq ft of carpet, 36 sq ft of hardwood in the entry and 2 bathrooms with 30sq ft of linoleum) I will be doing once a week. I have no equipment for floors besides a mop, vacuum and steam vac. Advice PLEASE!!!! can't sleep I am so stressed out. Trina www.staycleancleaning.net

Hi, Help I need some advice again!!!! I am cleaning a town home for a move-in clean. They basically want everything sanitized it has been cleaned by a company the Realtor hired.
I was planning on wiping all surfaces with bleach water or Lysol disinfectant cleaner and hot water.
What should I do for the hardwood floors?
I am steam cleaning the carpets with a germ killing cleaner and spraying with disinfectant.
Is this a good affective sanitizing/ disinfecting method?
I am afraid I got myself in over my head. I looked up methods of sanitizing on line and there seems to be a lot more to it then what I was planning.
Please help
Trina

Hi No one is answering this question so maybe I should reword it. When you clean in a team of 2 what does each person do and where do they start? same with a team of 3. I know there is some kind of system, plan, method everyone uses thats quick and efficient. What do you tell your employees to do when they get to a house? Please help, whenever we work in a team of 2 we only Knock off an hour we don't cut the time in half. For example, it takes me 3.5 hours alone and 2.5 with helper. I have not tried a team of three I am scared I will lose money if we are too slow. Thanks Trina www.staycleancleaning.net
