Who is My Cleaning Club ?

​

My Cleaning Club is a cleaning service operating since 2012 with many satisfied customers. Our mission: Help Olim in Israel.

As new immigrants ourselves, we saw other Olim struggling like us. Hard to find reliable cleaning help! Hard to find consistent jobs, with flexible hours and in English! Our mission is to take the HEADACHE out of domestic help and put CONVENIENCE back in, while helping our fellow Olim. Many of our employees are here without family, some of them single parents or students. Here we provide them with a good clean honest living, flexible family-friendly work schedules, protecting them under the law, and paying them all the benefits they're entitled to. At the same time, our customers have the satisfaction of knowing they're supporting another family, in a fully legal way, and getting a clean home in the process. You're contributing to a vision bigger than just another clean home. We take pride in trying to match up the right cleaner to the right customer. Wherever we found a way to make it easier for you, we implemented it. And if you think of another way we can make it easier, we're very eager to hear about it.

Join us as we make staying in Israel a reality for others!

  • Why should I hire your company instead of a private cleaner?
    There are several advantages a company can provide that a private cleaner can not. Most of them were listed in the question above, "What are the benefits ...?" but here's a few more. With us, you're hiring a company that provides a satisfaction guarantee, with a stable history since 2012 and a good reputation from hundreds of clients. We have several cleaners to choose from so you can pick the one you prefer or switch to another cleaner if you don't like the one you've been assigned. We constantly collect feedback from current clients to determine which employees to keep and which to let go. That way, you're getting an employee that comes highly recommended from other clients. Even more so, it helps deter the cleaners from theft when they know their full time salary is at risk, and not just one client. When you're hiring a private cleaner, in many cases you don't know if they stole from their previous employer or who their previous employers were. If you choose a recurring appointment, you can pick a staff member who then becomes your regular cleaner-- you get to know them and they get to know you, etc. But in case your regular worker can't make it one day, we send you a back up so you're not stuck at the last minute. You get the peace of mind of having consistent coverage regardless of the status of your particular cleaner (e.g. if they're ill, out of town, or decided to move onto something else). Most private cleaners can not provide a backup for themselves. In addition, all your legal obligations are handled for you. No more red tape to deal with. We've been told again and again that our company provides a comprehensive range of benefits unmatched by private cleaners.
  • Do I have to sign a contract or make a commitment?
    No, there are no contracts to sign. Depending on how the company develops, we might introduce contracts at a later stage. By using our services, you do agree to abide by the guidelines set forth in the "Terms and Conditions" available on our website. You can choose to book a one-time appointment or schedule a standing appointment. The frequency is up to you. Even if you choose recurring cleaning, you can choose to cancel a particular appointment at no charge.
  • How do you treat your employees? How much do they get paid? Why would they want to work for your agency?
    Just by asking that question, it shows us you care. As you probably know, most Olim who first move to Israel need some time to get settled, learn the language and decide what to do next. Oftentimes, they might be studying in Ulpan or in a university, or are getting ready to join the army. For these reasons, it becomes very difficult for them to find a regular job with a stable income. They need consistent reliable income while they settle in. That's where we come to the rescue. Once our recruits pass through the screening process, they go through a paid training where we teach them the skills of cleaning professionally in just a manner of days which can help them earn an honest living. In addition to the wages we pay (45-60 NIS per hour plus a monthly bus pass), we pay all our employees their legal benefits, such as paid sick leave, paid holidays, paid vacation days, paid maternity and paternity leave, unlimited time off, etc. Giving someone a job is the highest form of Tzedaka and we feel it is a great privilege to be involved in it on a daily basis. Besides protecting our employees under the law by ensuring they get all the benefits and rights they're entitled to (see earlier questions), we make sure they are safe and comfortable in the places where they clean. We make sure they are treated well and respected. Even if the customer would like a specific cleaner to return, if the cleaner is not happy there, that job will be re-assigned to someone else. In some ways, our employees' happiness is actually more important to us than our customers' satisfaction. Our employees are entitled to unlimited vacation time, maternity/paternity leave, a work schedule tailor- made to their needs, the option to work in an English- only environment, consistent jobs and consistent wages, salaries paid on time, and the option to work as many or as few hours as they want. All our employees are treated with kindness, compassion and respect and many will testify that the pleasant work environment is unmatched with other employers they've encountered.
  • Who are the cleaners who work for you and what is your hiring procedure?
    These days especially, it is wise to be cautious about who you allow into your home. After the unfortunate tragedies of October 7, it became even more clear that the strangers who get to know the ins and outs of your home, even under the guise of an innocent cleaner, can pose a safety risk. Your security is important to us, your safety is important to us, and we take this into consideration when hiring our employees. We mainly employ new Olim. The employees are all pre-screened, all of them vetted, all of them trained, all of them English-speaking, all of them legal to work in Israel. That saves you time, headache, and money. We carefully select who we hire into the company and then ensure they go through and pass the whole hiring procedure. If they don't pass, they're not hired. You get peace of mind and security. From the moment someone applies for a job with our company, we start the screening process. If they pass that initial screening, we invite them for an interview, then complete a background check with the applicant's previous employers. If we decide to hire them into the company, they're hired on a trial basis so we can get to know them, checking for trustworthiness, work ethic, reliability, efficiency, etc. All the while, we train them to clean on a professional level- bathrooms, kitchens, floors, windows, etc. Once they pass the test, we send them to select long-time clients who give us honest feedback. With consistent positive feedback, we open up the employee's availability to the general public for booking. All the while, we follow up to make sure the client is fully satisfied. If you are considering leaving the cleaner alone in the house, we advise you to trust your instinct once you meet your cleaner. Although we do background checks, it doesn't guarantee anything for the future.
  • Which areas do you service?
    We currently service: all neighborhoods, except Ramot, within Jerusalem proper. These are the areas we do not service but which you can request to be added to the waitlist for when we do expand there: Ramot (within Jerusalem), Mevaseret Tzion, Telzstone, Givat Ze'ev, Modi'in, Kochav Yaakov, Ramat Bet Shemesh, Ma'aleh Adumim. Other areas in Israel are currently not available to be waitlisted.
  • What is the cost and what does it cover?
    Prices are available on the site under the menu item "Prices & Booking". For a standard housekeeping or maintenance appointment, after the initial cleaning on the introductory offer, you can book a recurring appointment (weekly or bi-weekly). Prices are charged per visit and are calculated based on the initial cleaning. Usually the cost for subsequent cleanings is higher than the initial visit due to the additional expenses, outlined below. Choose a day, time and frequency that suits your needs and we will assign a cleaner to you who will then be your regular cleaner. All fees are included in this price (e.g., the referral fee, the cleaners' labor cost, employee's legal benefits, holidays, vacation pay, bonuses, taxes, incentives and regular wage increases). The agency handles all the legal matters pertaining to employing a cleaner, mainly setting up their Bituach Leumi, paying into their pension fund, paid vacation, paid sick days, Dmei Havraa, paid holidays and other benefits owed to the cleaner. The cleaner is hired as an employee of the agency and is paid all the social benefits by law.
  • If I want to have a recurring appointment, will I get the same person every time?
    That's the goal! Let us know which days and times you prefer for your recurring appointment, giving us at least 2 options and we will get to work to find something for you. We will let you know what is available for you to select. Once you approve a day and time, we will update that on the back end. It could be that the cleaner you chose will stick around for the long run or it could be they'll be replaced with someone else a month later. While we try our best to send you the same cleaner every time, this is not something we can guarantee. We understand it is frustrating but there's no guarantee on the length of time the cleaners will be working with us. It could be they are here today, gone tomorrow. For us as well, it is costly and time-consuming to re-train new workers more often than we would like so we definitely understand the hassle you're going through. To minimize your inconvenience, one of the options we offer is for your former cleaner to train the incoming cleaner on the job. Of course, if you choose to retrain the new cleaner yourself, that's fine too.
  • Do I have to pay into the cleaner's Bituach Leumi, pension, paid vacation, paid sick days, Dmei Havraa, paid holidays and other legal benefits?
    Yes, you do! At least if you want a recurring appointment you do. Did you know that? Most people don't know this and some find out the hard way when they are fined and sued. Ugh! Legal details: By Israeli law, once an entity, whether a private resident or a company, hires a domestic worker such as a cleaner for a time span of 6 days or longer (not 6 visits, rather, after 6 days elapsed from the first visit), they are establishing an employer-employee relationship. This relationship obligates you the employer to pay certain benefits such as Bituach Leumi, pension, paid vacation, paid sick days, Dmei Havraa, paid holidays, etc. to the employee. This applies whether one hires a cleaner privately or through an agency. The exact terms and conditions for each one of the benefits can be found online, under each organization's website. Here's the one for Bituach Leumi. The good news: We take care of all that for you! The agency take care of these benefits for the cleaner on your behalf. Now you can rest assured you're doing what's legal, what's right, and what's best for you and your cleaner!
