A good San Jose cleaning service is insured, background-checks its cleaners, quotes a clear price in writing, brings its own supplies, and stands behind the work. Everything else — app or phone booking, team size, eco products — is preference.
You're handing someone keys to your home, so ask the nine questions below before you book anyone, us included. We've answered each one for ourselves at the end so you can compare directly.
The 9 questions to ask
- 1. Are you licensed and insured, and can I see proof? Liability coverage protects you if something breaks.
- 2. Are cleaners employees or subcontractors, and are they background-checked?
- 3. Will I get the same cleaner or team each visit? Consistency is why recurring service gets better over time.
- 4. Is the price flat or hourly, and what's included at that price?
- 5. Do you bring supplies and equipment, or do I provide them?
- 6. What exactly is on the checklist — and what counts as an add-on?
- 7. What's your guarantee if something is missed?
- 8. What's the cancellation and rescheduling policy?
- 9. Do you serve my specific city, and what are your hours?
Red flags worth walking away from
- A firm price quoted before anyone asks about your home's size or condition.
- No proof of insurance, or a refusal to discuss it.
- Cash-only with no invoice or written scope.
- A price far below every other quote — usually uninsured labor.
- No local reviews, no business address, and no working phone number.
- Pressure to sign a long contract before a first visit.
Where to check a company's reputation
Read Google reviews for the specific business, not the franchise brand, and look for recent reviews that mention your type of job — recurring, move-out, or Airbnb. Nextdoor is especially useful in San Jose neighborhoods because the reviewers are your actual neighbors. Ask any company for two references from clients on the same service you want.
