There is no question that hiring a house cleaning service is an investment. An investment in time as you research the qualities of the different companies in your area, an investment in confidence of others as you consider the idea of inviting someone you may not know into your home while you’re away, an investment in parenting styles if you have children and would like to teach them the responsibility of household chores. However, the benefits may far outweigh the risks; below are five of our top reasons in favour of engaging a regular residential cleaning service.
TIME
Time is likely the main factor enticing people to search out a house cleaning service that is most suitable to them. Time is a valuable and precious commodity and, once it’s gone, we don’t get it back. We have 24 hours in a day and if we attempted to do everything ourselves, something would get overlooked. By removing regular housekeeping chores from your daily and weekly to-do list, you can take in an evening yoga class, participate in that book club you’ve been wanting to check out, or maybe enjoy some family time without having one eye secretly on the countertops that look like landfill gone wild.
HEALTH
“A clean home is a healthy home.” We’ve all heard this old expression, but have we honestly given it the attention it deserves? It’s true! The dust that accumulates on easily-ignored or hard-to-reach spaces can negatively impact our respiratory health. Dust is an allergen and should be kept under control on a regular schedule. This is an area where a Kelowna house cleaning service shines (pun intended). The professionals have the tools and the skill to reach and eradicate dust and dust mites from the tops of doors and windows, under your entertainment center, and any other places that are generally passed over or left until later.
PRODUCTION
We all have our special area of expertise and, unless you’re a professional house cleaner, it most likely isn’t cleaning your living space. Using time productively is a skill, so save yourself the agonies of scrubbing your toilet when you could be having an inspiring conversation with a client, designing a website which will transport business your way or taking a university course intended to prepare you for that big promotion you’re looking at.
STRESS REDUCTION
We all have stress in our lives, sometimes good stress and sometimes bad stress, and anything we can do to reduce the bad stress is an investment in our emotional and physical health. Imagine yourself looking at your kitchen sink and counter area; dirty dishes are piled up in the sink, your stovetop has a couple of pans on it, breakfast food still stuck to the surface, and your unfolded clothes are sitting in a pile on the one free corner. Can you feel the uneasiness in your mind, the desire to turn away – that’s the bad stress making itself felt in a very negative manner. Now imagine looking at the same sink and counter area; everything is put away in cabinets and there is no sign of clutter, taps are sparkling, the granite is shiny and streak-free and the floors are spotless. Your emotional response is likely a feeling of decompression, tranquility and peace – priceless.
SOCIAL TIME
The weekend is here and you’d love to treat a few friends to the new recipe you tried out successfully a few days ago – a perfect opportunity for a dinner party and games night. But, oh wait, your place is a mess and you haven’t washed the floors for 3 weeks…and there are at least 2 loads of unfolded laundry on the sofa. Easier to just order in alone and maybe watch some Netflix in bed so you can ignore the mess in the living room and kitchen. Socializing and connection is essential to a healthy mind and body so investing in a house cleaning service can be one of the most important things you do for yourself to maintain your all-round wellbeing. You may find it’s a small price to pay for the additional friendships and memories you acquire along the way.
