Should I hire a cleaning service or an independent house cleaner?
Short answer
An independent cleaner can be cheaper but you handle scheduling, vetting and backups yourself. A service or app like Sudgo gives you upfront prices, background-checked cleaners, a replacement when someone is sick, photo proof and a way to report problems, while still letting you keep a favorite cleaner.
Comparison
- Price: independents vary; Sudgo shows a fixed price upfront
- Vetting: you check references yourself vs ID and background checks
- Backup: if an independent cancels you start over; Sudgo sends another cleaner
- Proof: before-and-after photos with Sudgo
- Problems: Report a problem for a re-clean or refund
