  1. What are the advantages of using domestic cleaners instead of foreign maids?

    The employer of the foreign maid will have to take care of the various needs of the maids, i.e. food & lodging. Moreover, the employer may face various problems arising from hiring foreign maid, i.e. discipline, disobedience, etc. Having an additional person living with you and your family will mean an added responsibility.

    Through domestic cleaner, you will have no worries about the well-being, food & lodging and communication barriers between the domestic cleaner and you. You will save in terms of your expenses in employing a foreign maid. You will be rest assured that you will go home to a clean and well maintained home and no compromise on your privacy.

  2. Who will be cleaning my house?

    Home Services will assign one trained domestic cleaner to your home on a regular basis. If the domestic cleaner goes on leave or resign, we will reassign another domestic cleaner to clean your home and you will be given prior notification of the necessary changes. This will ensure continuity of work.
