Living in Bangkok is vibrant, but keeping your home clean amid the chaos often requires help. Hiring a housekeeper or 'maid' is a popular choice, but it needs careful management. The KhunClean team presents 12 important tips to help you hire and manage a housekeeper effectively, ensuring your home stays clean and your life becomes easier.
Before hiring, specify the tasks you need done, such as cleaning, laundry, or pet care, and decide whether you want a live-in or daily housekeeper. The fast-paced lifestyle in Bangkok necessitates clarity to find the right person.
Seek recommendations from friends, expatriates, or condo staff in Bangkok. Agencies like Maid for the Days provide vetted housekeepers. Avoid unreliable online ads.
Ask to see the housekeeper's ID and proof of residence. For foreign housekeepers, such as those from Myanmar or Cambodia, a work permit is required. Our service takes care of this, but if hiring independently, thorough checks are essential.
Meet candidates at your home to assess their suitability. Inquire about their experience and language skills—English proficiency is beneficial for foreign workers. A trial period of 1-3 months is common in Bangkok.
Housekeepers are entitled to one day off per week, 13 public holidays, and sick leave. Although there is no minimum wage for housekeepers, understanding these rights helps ensure fair treatment.
Write down the duties, schedule, and rules in both English and Thai to prevent misunderstandings. Specify whether the work is daily or weekly cleaning based on your needs.
Many housekeepers come from rural areas, bringing different perspectives on work and time. Respect holidays like Songkran and be patient with language barriers to build trust.
At KhunClean, housekeeping services in Bangkok start from just 2,000 baht per day, a reasonable price for trained housekeepers that helps keep your home clean and suits busy families.
Provide high-quality cleaning equipment and eco-friendly products, which is a growing trend in Bangkok. For live-in housekeepers, ensure a comfortable private space.
Check in regularly to prevent minor issues from escalating. Encourage housekeepers to express concerns, especially in foreign households with cultural differences.
Compliments, small gifts, or tips for special tasks leave a lasting impression. Housekeepers in Bangkok take pride in their work, and recognition helps foster positive relationships.
Managing a housekeeper can be complex, but Maid for the Days simplifies it. With services starting at 2,000 baht per day in Bangkok, we provide reliable housekeepers and take care of everything for you.
