Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Cleaning Company

Cleaning is one of those double-edged sword types of deals: it is very important to us to maintain a clean house, home, or office, but not all of us like to clean. Sometimes it just isn't possible with our hectic schedules to clean the house as often, or as well, as we would like. Life happens.

Many people view hiring a cleaning company as a luxury, one that the "Average Joe" can't afford, and in all honesty, it is a luxury. You are paying somebody to clean your home for you. However, most people don't realize that this is one luxury that you might be able to afford more easily than you thought. Hiring a cleaning company should give you no more guilt than ordering take-out instead of cooking, or hiring a handyman to come to your house to fix this that you could possibly do on your own.

So what is stopping you from hiring a cleaning company, or at the very least, learning what the cost of hiring a professional to clean your home? We have compiled a list of the Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Cleaning Company in hopes that it helps to alleviate some of your reservations about looking into hiring a cleaning company like Dirt Divas. Some are more straightforward and practical, while others have a meaning much deeper than just cleaning.

1. Mental and emotional health benefits
Stress. It can be an absolutely devastating emotion for us, and unfortunately, it is all too common in our homes today. Between work, kids, after-school activities, family time, and other time-consuming events, we are often left in a bewildered mess by the end of the day.

When your home is clean and organized, you feel happier and calmer. It is one less thing on your plate to be concerned with. By hiring a cleaning company, you are paying for some peace of mind in terms of time that you don't have, or that you can spend with your family or doing things that you enjoy.

2. Marital bliss
This goes hand-in-hand with reason #1. Life is so unbelievably hectic and often times cleaning chores can become a battleground between husband and wife, with both sides thinking that the other should chip in, or be more responsible for, more. Hiring a cleaning company can help avoid these arguments, and while it may seem trivial, this type of investment often returns greater value than any monetary one, and in a shorter amount of time. Plus it is definitely cheaper than couples' therapy haha.

3. Supplies and experience
This is a more specific, practical reason to clean a home. There are many different surfaces and areas to clean in a home, many of which require different cleaning chemicals, tools, and techniques. In a bathroom alone there could be 3-4 different solutions and a few different applicators. Trying to remember which one works the best for each application, and hoping that you have enough of the solution to complete the project is something that you don't have to worry about with a professional cleaning company.

Here at Dirt Divas, we have some many years of experience cleaning homes and offices, all in different setups and environments, giving us tricks and techniques that help to clean almost any surface. We often hear from our customers that they can't believe we were able to clean a specific item that had been bothering them for a long time.

4. The dirt and grime
Let's face it, cleaning a home isn't exactly glamorous or exciting. From dusting to baseboards to bathrooms, cleaning can be tedious, frustrating, and just downright gross sometimes. And for one person it is almost too much to do: once you are finished with one chore, another one is still waiting to be done. This is why people often perform a "Spring Cleaning," since they have been really only cleaning enough to get through the winter.

One particular area of the house that needs more attention than it is often given is the bathroom. We clean our bathrooms, sure, but did you know that you are supposed to scrub your toilet once a week and your sinks and shower walls once every two weeks? Most people clean these items on a regular basis, they, however, don't deep clean and scrub them as often as they should: time is hard to come by (see points 1 and 2), and who really wants to scrub their bathroom that often? This is where a cleaning company comes in to handle the work that you don't want to do, or do enough of.

5. Hygiene
Let's face it, especially with kids, our houses are Petri dishes. In the winter time, germs fly around the house and land on all different kinds of surfaces, and often times we neglect to clean them, especially surfaces that we don't realize how often we touch. Door knobs, drawer pulls, light switches, these are all prime areas for bacteria and germs to fester.

Making sure to clean these surfaces, and all of the other often-forgotten areas of the home will help to reduce sickness and spreading of harmful germs and bacteria from one person to another. We all know how rough it can be when sickness breaks out throughout a full house with kids, which is why it is important to try to remember to keep all areas of your house clean.

There is much more to cleaning your home than just having somebody come in a straighten up after you. We have only outlined a handful of reasons why you should hire a cleaning company, and why it is probably more cost-effective to do so than you think. There are mental and physical benefits of hiring a cleaning company: reduced stress, their years of experience and skill, increased hygiene in your home, and more time to spend with your loved ones doing the things that you enjoy.
