With Pesach cleaning in full swing, Boro Park Shomrim has issued a set of crucial safety tips for homeowners hiring cleaning help. The guidance, aimed at preventing theft and ensuring household security, emphasizes three key points:
1. Before Hiring Someone, Do Ample Research
Before allowing anyone into your home, it’s important to verify their background and credentials. Shomrim advises homeowners to check references, confirm prior employment, and ensure that the individual is trustworthy.
2. Hide Cash and Valuables in a Secure Place
While most workers are honest, valuables left in the open may be tempting to the wrong person. Residents are urged to secure money, jewelry, and important documents in locked areas to avoid any potential issues.
3. Don’t Leave Cleaning Help at Home Alone
It’s best not to leave workers unattended. Having someone present in the home serves as a deterrent against any potential wrongdoing and ensures that all cleaning is done under supervision.
