A
Agent
Hello, easy life cleaning services. Just into speaking.
C
Customer
Oh, hello. I'm looking for a cleaning service for my apartment. Do you do domestic cleaning?
A
Agent
Sure.
C
Customer
Well, it's just a one bedroom flat. Do you have a basic cleaning package?
A
Agent
Yes. For a one bedroom flat, we're probably looking at about two hours for a clean. So we do a thorough clean of all surfaces in each room and polish them when necessary. Does your apartment have carpets?
C
Customer
No, I don't have any, but the floor would need cleaning.
A
Agent
Of course, we do that in every room, and we do a thorough clean of the kitchen and bathroom.
C
Customer
Okay.
A
Agent
Then we have some additional services, which you can request if you want. So, for example, we can clean your oven for you every week.
C
Customer
Actually, I hardly ever use that, but can you do the fridge?
A
Agent
Sure. Would you like that done every week?
C
Customer
Yes, definitely. And would ironing clothes be an additional service you can do?
A
Agent
Yes, of course.
C
Customer
It wouldn't be much just my shirts for work that week.
A
Agent
That's fine. And we could also clean your microwave if you want.
C
Customer
No, I wiped that out pretty regularly, so there's no need for that.
A
Agent
We also offer additional services that you might want a bit less often, say every month. So, for example, if the inside of your windows need cleaning, we could do that.
C
Customer
Yes, that'd be good. I'm on the 15th floor, so the outside gets done regularly by specialists, but the inside does get a bit grubby.
A
Agent
And we could arrange for your curtains to get cleaned if necessary.
C
Customer
No, they're okay. But would you be able to do something about the balcony? It's quite small, and I don't use it much, but it could do with a wash every month or so.
A
Agent
Yes, we can get the pressure washer onto that.
A
Agent
Now, if you're interested, we do offer some other possibilities to do with general maintenance. For example, if you have a problem with water and you need a plumber in a hurry, we can put you in touch with a reliable one who can come out straight away. And the same thing if you need an electrician.
C
Customer
Right, that's good to know. I've only just moved here, so I don't have any of those sorts of contacts.
A
Agent
And I don't know if this is of interest to you, but we also offer a special vacuum cleaning system, which can improve the indoor air quality of your home by capturing up to 99% of all the dust in the air. So if you're troubled by allergies, this can make a big difference.
C
Customer
Right, in fact, I don't have that sort of problem, but I'll bear it in mind. Now, can you tell me a bit about your cleaning stuff?
A
Agent
Of course. So all our cleaners are very carefully selected. When they apply to us, they have to undergo a security check with the police to make sure they don't have any sort of criminal background. And of course, they have to provide references as well. Then if we think they might be suitable for the job, we give them training for it. That lasts for two weeks, so it's very thorough, and at the end of it, they have a test. If they pass that, we take them on, but we monitor them very carefully.
A
Agent
We ask all our clients to complete a review of their performance after every visit and to email it to us. So we can pick up any problems straight away and deal with them.
C
Customer
Okay, well, that all sounds good, and will I always have the same cleaner?
A
Agent
Yes, we do our best to organise it that way, and we usually manage it.
C
Customer
Good, that's fine. Right, so I'd like to go ahead and...
