Waiting period for cleaning help

There is a high demand for cleaning help in Flanders and Brussels. In some regions, Helan can immediately provide a cleaning help, while in other regions there is a short waiting period. Below, we explain why this is, what the waiting period is, and whether it applies to your municipality.

Why is there a waiting period for cleaning help?

There are several factors that influence the waiting period, such as:

  • Staff shortages
  • High demand for cleaning help
  • Some municipalities are harder to reach by public transport
  • The uncertain situation around wage increases for cleaning help

How long is the waiting period?

It depends on the region where you live. In some regions, we have cleaning help available immediately, while in other regions there is a (limited) waiting period.

What Helan is doing to reduce the waiting period for cleaning help

To keep the waiting period as short as possible, we have:

  • In-house training programs to train cleaning help, so new employees can start quickly.
  • Local offices to address the needs of a specific municipality or region.
  • A flexible service that easily allows you to request additional cleaning help or cancel cleaning help.

We've already helped these customers find cleaning help

Kim relies on the weekly help of Teresa, her regular cleaner from Helan Household Help.

“I work fulltime and take evening classes to obtain my teaching diploma. I'm so glad I can rely on Teresa to keep our house clean every week. I don't know where I would find time to spend with my children otherwise.”
