There are several important reasons to hire a professional cleaning service provider in lieu of a non-professional cleaning lady or housekeeper in Hendricks County.
If you are considering employing the services of an individual house cleaner, contact the state & federal government before you proceed. It is likely you will be required to withhold and pay their Federal Income, Social Security and Medicare taxes and pay for state Worker’s Compensation & Unemployment Insurance. (See IRS and IN State offices for more information).
Our industry has seen countless homeowners, unaware of state labor laws, suffer years of retro-pay and financial ruin because of injury accidents & not paying taxes on contractors/employees after years of service.
The IRS may require you to supply Publication 926 for Household Employees and Employment Verification Form I-9.

Questions to Ask Professional Cleaning Providers:
Before you hire a house cleaning service, ask if their team members are employees or contractors. If they are contractors, the cleaning service you hire is not required to provide liability insurance (in case something is broken or stolen at your house), and in most cases, they are not legally able to ensure how the job is done — only the end result.
If the team member is a contractor (1099 worker), they must provide their own business insurance, cleaning supplies and products, and hopefully, they are also insured and bonded. Do you have the time to verify their credentials? What if something happens?
Ask if the individual that may be cleaning your home is a member in good standing with the American House Cleaners Association – the most active & trusted community of over 25,000 professional cleaning providers in the United States. Ask the individual or service provider if they are AHCA certified Professional Cleaning Providers and if they’ve earned their certification in cleaning for infectious disease prevention. All Eckler Cleaning Services’ team members are certified through the American House Cleaners Association.
