During the pandemic, the borders of the country closed and stopped the flow of people coming into the country to work in the cleaning and other service industries. This caused a shortage of staff once businesses got back on their feet and in turn created a new standard in salary demands for cleaning and service workers. Salaries for cleaning staff went up by almost 50% overnight, causing a serious disparity between prices paid by customers and the salary expectations of potential staff.
In 2023, customers began to understand the reality of price increases in all areas of the commercial economy and things started to level themselves out slowly.
Fast forward to October 2023 and the horrible massacre committed against Israel. This situation and the war that has ensued has disuaded many migrants or immigrants from coming to Israel at this time and has led to a critical shortage in staff. Dishwashing jobs in restaurants went from NIS 30.00 per hour in 2020 to NIS 50.00+ in 2024.
Many industries found themselves fighting for the same few workers alongside entire segments of the economy such as farming and agriculture.
The government has its hands full caring for many different sectors of the population and most importantly the military and has not made any efforts to support or assist the very necessary service and cleaning industries in any way.
Companies in the cleaning sector for example have been forced to raise prices again, face closing their doors, deal with less staff meaning less work and in turn less income to sustain the extremely costly rates required to pay cleaning staff in particular.
Aviv Cleaning was founded in 2013 by an Oleh from Canada, who moved to Israel to follow a lifelong dream, was able to work as a cleaner and incorporate his business and slowly grow the company to a respectable size. The only way that Telavivcleaning.com continues to serve its clientele from Bat Yam to Tel Aviv - Yafo, Ramat Gan and Givatayim, Herzliya, Ramat Hasharon, and Ra'anana is thanks to the extreme perseverance of its staff and management team. Despite many instances where it seemed all was lost, they continued to persevere and focused more on the customers that needed their cleaning services rather than what they themselves or their families needed.
An extreme sense of duty to provide reliable, trustworthy, organized, and dependable cleaning and housekeeping services to the population of Central Israel and most importantly a responsibility towards the English and French-speaking communities of Israel has been the motivation to fight through the hardships.
Telavivcleaning.com has been a beacon of light in a very dark Israeli cleaning industry for over 10 years and refuses to fade into the sunset.
The owner and management team promise to continue to provide dependable cleaning services for Israeli homes, offices, synagogues, community centers, businesses, clinics, as well as expats, students and all others who need to be cared for.
