Background Checks for Cleaning Companies: How SafestHires Serves Home Clean Heroes

House cleaners work inside clients' homes, often when the homeowner is away. That is why cleaning companies commonly tell customers their teams are background-checked. Home Clean Heroes says its professionals are bonded, insured, background-checked and trained before servicing a home.

SafestHires serves Home Clean Heroes franchise locations. This article explains the package those locations use, what each search covers and how other cleaning companies can set up something similar.

Home Clean Heroes and Buzz Franchise Brands

Home Clean Heroes is one of the brands of Buzz Franchise Brands, the same franchise group behind British Swim School.

SafestHires is one of Buzz Franchise Brands' preferred vendors for background checks. It is not the only preferred vendor, and each franchise owner chooses the screening provider for their own location.

The cleaning-company background check package

The package Home Clean Heroes locations use with SafestHires includes these five searches:

• SSN Address Trace
• 7 Year County Criminal Search
• Nationwide Criminal Database Search
• Federal Criminal Search
• 50-State Sex Offender Registries Search

Locations can also add a **Driving Record** — useful for team members who drive between client homes in a company or personal vehicle.

What each search covers

SSN Address Trace

Develops names and addresses associated with the applicant's Social Security number so the right counties can be searched. It supports the criminal searches but is not itself a criminal-record search.

7 Year County Criminal Search

Searches county criminal court records where the applicant has lived, within a seven-year scope.

Nationwide Criminal Database Search

Searches a multi-jurisdiction database of criminal records. Database hits are confirmed at the source court before reporting, because databases can be incomplete or out of date.

Federal Criminal Search

Searches U.S. federal district court records, a separate court system from county courts.

50-State Sex Offender Registries Search

Checks public sex offender registries maintained by the states, such as those linked through the National Sex Offender Public Website.

Optional: Driving Record

Returns the applicant's state motor vehicle record, such as license status and violations, for roles that drive.

Pricing and getting started

Pricing for this package varies by state because county court fees differ. Use the SafestHires pricing calculator to see the price in your state.

SafestHires has no setup fees and no term contract. To talk it through, schedule a call. To get started, read the Master Services Agreement and complete the client sign-up form.

Questions about cleaning-company background checks

Do I need a driving record for every cleaner?

No. It is an optional add-on. Many cleaning companies add it only for team members who drive as part of the job.

Does a Home Clean Heroes franchisee have to use SafestHires?

No. SafestHires is one of Buzz Franchise Brands' preferred vendors, but not the only one. Each franchise owner chooses their provider.

Can a cleaning company outside Buzz Franchise Brands use this package?

Yes. Any cleaning company can order the same five searches, with or without a driving record, and adjust it by role.
