I use the same company my parents do (and were happy with). I think the best way is to ask around if you have friends or family who use a cleaning service. I'm not sure how my parents got onto them originally, I should ask!
Iv done a lot of searching on line for one, some i notice use the cleaning products you have at home and others bring them? And they seem to want you not to be home,can i be home or is it best to be out or outside?
Mine uses my products, I tend to go out for a while as 2 kids is too hard to be there while she cleans, I feel in the way and lazy also DS1 makes mess!!
I tend to go to shops and ger groceries or go for a play date locally.
We go through Absolute Domestics and haven't had a problem with them at all. The ladies are all police checked and that's great.
Whether they bring their own stuff is dependent on the lady TBH, but they usually do all want to use your vacuum/mop/brooms etc - they may bring a product or 2, and their own gloves/rags etc. If you want them to be "environmentally friendly" then I'd supply your own products.
Getting a cleaner from an ad I'd be tempted to ask for reference checks and police checks unless they've been recommended. I've always stayed home the first couple of visits until I knew I could trust them - I'd spend time in the garden although at the moment with my lady I'm resting, and she yells at me if I get up from my rest!!!!
If it's your hubby staying at home, I can understand why they wouldn't want to be in the home with a strange man. Good luck!
