A Professional Cleaning Service Might Be The Right Choice
Have a good Thanksgiving? I bet your house/apartment looks pretty messy because you:
A. Hosted Thanksgiving and it was an awesome, stressful, mess.
B. You had to rush out to make it in time after work to family festivities so dad/cousin/grandma/uncle Jimmy aren’t pissed because you’re always late (that’s me).
C. You live a crazy double life as a 9-5er, blogger, and musician’s girlfriend (also me).
After Thanksgiving comes more holiday events, work deadlines, and fun travel. Time to thoughtfully clean is often very last on the to-do list. I recently teamed up with local professional cleaning company Team Clean Scene who helped me get my place into shape after my Halloween/Birthday bash. I plan to reach back out more events take over my life and my humble abode.
Many people think of hiring a cleaning service as an elitist luxury that they shouldn’t spend on. I believe otherwise. Here’s why:
- You’re giving someone a job: If you do your research, you can support local and small businesses who pay their professional cleaners fair wages and provide reasonable work hours. It was nice to get to know the gentleman who came in to spruce up my family’s downtown apartment. He was kind, energized, and truly happy to be doing something he was obviously good at.
- Allergies come from your home: Ya’ll know, I am allergic to everything. You likely are allergic to more than you think. The number one culprit that causes allergic reactions today is dust. Dust is everywhere indoors! If you have pets and kids, you’re bringing in lots more allergen to your home. When you hire a professional cleaning service, you invest in your personal health.
- They have the right tools: I don’t know about you, but after moving 4 times in the past 7 years, I am not that well stocked up on the latest and greatest cleaning supplies and equipment. Frankly, I don’t feel that qualified to go out and purchase the right stuff, either. I’d likely be wasting my money. Team Clean Scene has everything and I trust them a lot more than myself.
- Time is money: If you work freelance, are an entrepreneur, or even have a standard 9-5, you lose valuable time anytime you’re not at work, resting from work, or creating mental space for new ideas. While cleaning is therapeutic and even a part of the creative process for some, that someone is not me. Paying someone else to do this task is worth it to me so I can grow my businesses and clock needed hours to pay my other bills.
- The internet has made it easier than ever: I think you’ll be surprised when you visit the Team Clean Scene website. You can make your appointment for any apartment and need right online. The system is modern and fresh. I also received reminder emails a few times before the big deep clean. Talk about time and cost savings! This was made for busy people like me.
I have been contemplating a cleaning service for the longest time. I know so many people who do it and I might just have to bite the bullet. I use up so much time trying to play catch up and then it makes me feel defeated. Such a great post! Thank you for sharing <3
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. Especially as an entrepreneur . That’s extra time I devote to my work and makes more financial sense to me. It is worth every penny to me. They are much more efficient at it then I could ever be and it makes me happy.
couldn’t agree with you more – the best days are when my cleaner comes home for sure! 🙂
Happy Sunday!
