Potential Risks of hiring a private cleaner

Updated: Jul 10, 2023




Three risks that customers may face when hiring private cleaners


1. Lack of Insurance

Imagine what will happen if the cleaners come to work on your place and accidentally fall. This leads to a broken arm, broken leg, and that cleaner has no insurance​. Do you have insurance to cover the cleaner and your home in the case of an accident rather than legal issues? What if they fall and break a leg due to a safety reason that the cleaner was not aware of or informed while cleaning, and you are held responsible for failing to provide safety? What if that person wants to make a big deal out of it and blame you for the accident, wants to take you to court because your home is an unsafe place to work. Fairwork and the court is full of cases. You are in a huge amount of trouble. Insurance is essential when looking for cleaners because we are not able to predict what will happen during the cleaning process.


2. Untrustworthy

For a cleaning service company, when recruiting employees, the human resources department will ask for their documents such as police checks, ID, etc according to the government's requirements so that the company knows who they are, as well as to ensure the safety of customers using the cleaning service of the company. When a customer searches for a private cleaner, the customer can only see their ID, additionally, the customer would not see or the cleaner does not have a police check. Furthermore, you are too occupied to notice all of the paperwork that a cleaner must-have. However, as a result of your carelessness, you unintentionally put yourself in a dangerous situation. How do you know who that employee used to be if you do not run a background check? And you are too busy at work or have an urgent job to go out, so the cleaner is alone at home, and whatever happens, will happen. When there are too many wingless things that fly in the house, you return disappointed. You won't be able to regret it again at this point.




3. Unsafety

Not only those things were mentioned above, but also is the equipment they use in your home safe and still usable? If you are not an industry person or someone with experience in the field of cleaning, how do you know? From that ignorance, they can take advantage of your trust to put an ineligible device into operation, what if during their work and that device catches fire in your house? You are putting yourself, and your loved ones in danger.


Thereby, before you let an employee work you need to make sure the employee has insurance, has a police check, has legal conditions to live and work in Australia, and more. You need to have a little experience with cleaning equipment to ensure the safety of you and your family members. And if possible, you should ask the cleaning staff about vaccine certification during the current epidemic.


Recommendations


Too many steps to take when hiring cleaners on your own, and you do not have the time or experience in the field of cleaning. So why not hire a service company. All you have to do is choose the service you want, and let the company take care of the rest of the world.
