8 Benefits of Recurring Cleaning Services
Introduction
Regularly scheduled cleaning services offer huge benefits to my clients. I find that regular housekeeping services can be viewed as a luxury or something that’s unaffordable to most homeowners and households. With over a decade of experience, I’ve seen many benefits, which I list below. When weighing the benefits vs. the costs, the benefits surpass the price stigmas associated with hiring a professional cleaning service.
Reduce Stress
“Our outer worlds invariably affect our inner worlds and vice versa,” says Danielle Roeske, Psy.D., vice president of residential services at Newport Healthcare. When your home is decluttered, fresh, and organized it brings a sense of calm and comfort. When you are constantly battling with finding where things go, seeing things look rundown, it affects your mood. A 2017 study on young adults found that clutter was linked to procrastination, feeling overwhelmed and lower quality of life. Dr. Roeske explains. “When there is order and structure to our outer environment, it can help us feel more able to manage some of the internal feeling states and worlds.”
My job is an opportunity to make someone’s environment better. If you don’t have to worry about cleaning, that’s one less thing you have to worry about in life. It’s a hectic world, and there can be a lot of things that are out of our control, but your home should always be your sanctuary.
Long-term Savings
If you think about all of the components of your home: floors, walls, windows, furniture, countertops, appliances etc. there’s a lot to maintain and each of these components has its shelf life. Regularly scheduled cleaning helps to maintain a high standard in your home and it preserves the longevity of all of these components that I’ve listed. Take hardwood floors for example. I published an article on properly cleaning and maintaining your hardwood floors. Without proper cleaning and routine maintenance, you stand the risk of having to install new flooring. That means more money out of your pocket when a small investment in regular cleaning would have prevented this.
Removes Build Up of Dirt and Allergens
If you notice that your family members are sick more often, or that there’s more coughing/sneezing taking place, it can very likely be a case of dirt/dust build up in hard to reach spaces. Professional cleaning service providers have equipment, and product options that remove and sanitize those hard to reach areas. Air vents, ceiling fans, furniture, and storage areas are often the biggest culprits. Because dust, grime, and mold accumulates in out of sight/out of mind areas, it can be very easily overlooked and neglected over time. A regular cleaning service ensures that these pesky areas are regularly cleaned so nothing ever accumulates.
Make a Great First Impression
We’ve all been in a situation where it was a scramble to get everything ready for guests or for an event we were hosting. Regular cleaning ensures that high maintenance standards for your home are being adhered to every week. That way, you are never in a situation that forces you to scramble or stress about first impressions.
Save Time
Your time is valuable. A 2020 study of 2,000 American households found that the average American spends on average 23 hours and 36 minutes on cleaning and housework each month. That breaks down to about 5 hours and 53 minutes per year! That’s a ton of time that could be spent with the family, or doing just about anything better than cleaning!
Save Money, Yes Even in the Short Term
Many folks see housekeeping services as an added expense, or a luxury. However, if you are constantly spending money on cleaning supplies every time you head out to the store, those costs add up! Let’s also not forget that your time is worth something!
With more time and energy on your hands, you can work on those side projects or passions!
Your Home Benefits from High Quality Cleaning Supplies and Equipment.
Having the right tools and supplies to get the job done right matters. Not only do I follow proven techniques but I also have the necessary tools that remove a lot of unnecessary labor. For example, I have dusting extensions that can reach high ceiling fans, a long with ladders. I also have floor buffers to make tile and stone floors sparkle and shine. This removes a lot of the intense labor that’s involved in cleaning. Save yourself the effort by going with a professional who has modern equipment and first hand experience to get the job done effectively and efficiently.
Consistent Cleanliness
I always create tailored cleaning checklists for my clients that are adhered to each week. Every household is a little different and there may be more needs in certain areas than others. That’s why my services are customizable to best suit your home. For example, the oven doesn’t typically need to be thoroughly deep cleaned each week. But, I keep dated checklists of when each outlier service (like oven cleaning) was completed so we keep everything on a consistent schedule. That way, you never have to worry about that ‘oh my, we need to clean everything’ feeling ever again!
Summary
Regular cleaning services are not just a luxury, but a highly valuable service to improve any home. Hiring a housekeeping service is proven to improve physical and mental health along with maintaining the beauty of your home.
