Bonded house cleaning is a business model for house cleaning, insuring both workers and customers against damage, loss, or other costly situations. The bonds and insurance of the cleaning company will ease the client’s worries regarding damages and theft.
Many states require professional house cleaners to possess a license before publicizing their business. The license verifies several things, most important insurance and bonding. Bonding is a type of insurance that protects a client’s possessions while team members are cleaning the house. Insurance protects the customer from responsibility when a cleaner becomes injured on the job. However, licensing requirements vary from state to state. Before hiring a cleaning company, inquire about their insurance and/or bondings policies to ensure it covers any concerns you may have.
There are two categories for bonded house cleaning: surety and fidelity. Surety bonding is a notice that identifies the cleaning company’s ability to hire another cleaner to perform the job if the first cleaner does not complete it. Fidelity insurance, also known as employee dishonesty or a violation policy, covers loss of money, securities, or property by the employees of the cleaning company. This type of policy covers events of theft and will cover the cost of what is lost if it is not returned.
Hiring an insured cleaning service is very important due to the number of risks associated with non-insured cleaning services. According to a recent study, over 40% of all theft claims are the result of house cleaning services. Business owners have enough knowledge about local and state laws to protect themselves from incidents while protecting their customers. This is a strong quality to look for if you have anxiety about hiring a cleaner for the first time. Another reason to hire an insured company over a one-person operation or non-insured cleaner is to protect clients from gauging the value of any cleaning service.
