Pillow washing is an excellent additional task you can provide with your house cleaning business. It’s one of those little things that can make a huge difference to your residential customers. But, there are a couple of guidelines you’ll want to follow. From one professional house cleaner to another, here’s best practices for washing pillows.
Since we change the bed linen as a basic service, wouldn’t it provide better customer care to wash the bed pillows too? Seems so. Have you ever asked any of your customers if you could wash their dirty bed pillows, or decorative couch pillows, or throw pillows?
Personally, I can admit that it has only been a few times in my 25+ years in business that I have offered to clean pillows for our customers. Because it’s not a usual request nor an offer from a professional cleaning company.
Am I right?
But it can be offered as a deep cleaning task.
I mean think about it. Pillows can carry, all types of germs, bacteria, odor, mold and mildew. And, we, well, we simply tuck and fluff as we clean each home – never really thinking about the germs. Especially décor covered pillows like some kids’ and couch pillows whose cover can’t be removed.
