Training & Onboarding Schedule
Most maid companies require experience. We don't because we invest the time and money to train you. No other maid company invests this much in their cleaners, and that's just one example of how we're the best employer for professional cleaners.
Day 1 & 2: Practical Training. All new cleaners start with Practical Training. During these two days of practical training, a trainer will be right by your side. They will demonstrate how to clean a room and then watch & coach you while you clean. We typically clean 3-4 houses a day so in two days you will get one-on-one training for 6-8 houses.
We're looking for Work Speed and Coachability.
Work speed is about moving with purpose and not going slow. Your speed will increase as you learn how we clean but you can't be slow. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the fastest, you need to work at an 8 speed. And never sacrifice quality for speed, and you don't have to. We'll teach you the most efficient way to clean so your energy stays high all day. You don't have to work yourself to death, so going too fast is a problem too.
Scroll down this page to watch one of our cleaners cleaning a bathroom. This is the speed we need. It doesn't look fast but it sure ain't slow and watch her transition from one task to another without interruptions. Fast forward the video to about 9 minutes in and watch about 10 minutes of the video.
Coachability is super important. We will teach you, but you have to remember and execute exactly how we teach you. Anyone can learn to be a great cleaner if they apply themselves.
Your first two days of practical training will show us if you can do this job or not. We can tell pretty quickly if you have the raw talent we need. Most people have it. But, if we don't see it, we know it won't be a good fit and your employment will end.
Do you like cleaning and do you want to continue? If you have no experience, we will ask you if you think this is something you want to do. Our goal is to hire people who like/love to clean, but most people don't know if they really like to clean "professionally" until they try it. After a few days, you will know what it's all about for the most part. We clean houses. That's what we do.
Day 3 & 4: Work on a 3-person team. You are cleaning by yourself but on a 3-person team. When you work on a 3-person team you are not in the home as long. These shorter job times help to ease you into the physical requirements of working normal durations and it gives you a few more days to get your work pace to where it needs to be to work on a normal team of 2 cleaners.
Day 5: Work on a 2-person team. You should be ready to work on a team at an appropriate pace.
Day 6: Maid Training Academy's certification program. They are the world leader in home cleaning training. This 8-hour program includes two classes both 4 hours long. It's not hard but it is a lot of information. Everything you learn in these classes we use every day to clean houses.
Regardless of experience, all cleaners are required to complete Professional Cleaner Certification classes. This paid training will help you become a world-class home cleaner. If you have experience, you will be surprised how much you learn. Most veteran cleaners say about 30% of the information was new to them and very valuable. Like we say, if you're good, we'll make you better.
Day 7: Assigned to a Team. Once you are assigned to a team, your Team Leader will continue your training by providing you with written feedback every day.
Day 11: Internal Classes. Back in the classroom to learn more about It's Maid Day, Products we use, cleaning Packages, and other Procedures. Plus an Ethics class, Employee Handbook class, and a Safety Class.
Cleaning is easy if you have the right training and onboarding experience.

How You Get Paid in the Home Services Industry
The home service industry pays based on the job and not travel time. If you work for yourself or in any home service company like Heating & Air, Plumbing, Electricians, and Maid Service, you get paid for the job and not the drive time.
As a professional cleaner, you should get approximately 6 hours of cleaning at your Hourly Pay Rate and about 2 hours of driving every day. We do not pay for drive time unless the average drive time is over 30 minutes.
The detailed overview of cleaning on teams or working from home as an individual clearly points this out using examples of a typical day of a cleaner. Click here to return to that section of this page.

Our teams drive company cars. They are well maintained. Team Leaders drive the car and must have a good driving record. We have GPS tracking on all cars that monitor and report driving like speeding, sharp turns, and harsh breaking. The safety of our employees is most important.
Work From Home cleaners drive their own car and get reimbursed every Friday for gas based on the miles driven the previous week. Work From Home cleaners are our highest paid cleaners and clean 2 Recurring Customer homes a day by themselves. Click here for more details on this premium position.
A Message from the owner, Bruce
Hello, and Welcome,
I put this message at the bottom of this page, because that is where people who are really interested in the job and our company end up. This message is for you.
Our goal when I started the company in 2010 was to become the largest maid service company in 10 years. It only took 8 years.
I knew the only way we could reach our goal was by becoming the best employer for Professional Home Cleaners. That is the cornerstone of our company. We pay more and do more for our cleaners than any other maid company in Georgia. Have you looked at other maid companies? If you haven't, you should. Then you'll know.
And all that is good, but what you will get with us is something you rarely find. You will get the respect you deserve as a Professional Home Cleaner. We understand that YOU are the most important component of our company. It's because of YOUR work that we succeed or fail.
Is this job easy? No. And if you are a Professional Home Cleaner, you know how true that is. If you want to become a Professional Home Cleaner, then you will find out. Is it rewarding? Absolutely. Most customers LOVE their cleaners. Why? Because you help them do a required task they can't do. And our people do GREAT work. Let me repeat that. They do great work. And over time, they become almost part of the customer's family. It's a great, giving career, with lots of satisfaction and appreciation.
This job doesn't pay a lot. What? Wait a minute.
Let me clarify that statement. We pay more than any other maid company. You are a real W-2 employee with the best benefit package not just in the maid industry, but just about anywhere. And yes, we have a program that can pay you up to $50,000 or more, as an employee, and not a Contractor. But the bottom line is, you might be able to make more money somewhere else.
Our company is for people who love cleaning homes. You know who you are. THAT is why It's Maid Day exists. For people who simply love to clean and are looking for a place that respects and supports them in their passion. They all have a passion for it. And those are the people who appreciate all the little things we do for our people. Those little things are actually a big thing.
And if you have no experience, or maybe a little, and you want to become a great cleaner. We can help you reach that goal.
And my passion? Check that box too. I am here every day, the first one here and usually the last one to leave. My commitment is to always be improving everything we do. We are the largest, but we have to continue to improve in every way. That is my passion. And you can always call me directly. We have awesome Area Managers and office staff, but if you need me, I'm just a phone call away.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Hope it didn't sound too corny. But now you know who we are.
Sincerely,
Bruce Bishop
Owner and General Manager
