subject: Home Cleaning Service - Luxury Or 21st Century Necessity [print this page] With everything getting more expensive and earnings failing to catch up with the increase of goods, people start considering cost reducing measures to ease the strain on their household budgets. One of the first things to go is the money spent on home cleaning services. At the end of the day, there's nothing high tech to it and one can spare a few hours a week to keep the house in a reasonable condition. So why waste all that dough on cleaning when it could be used for more essential things? This argument is misleading. While house cleaning is not rocket science, it requires some extra skills and know how. Keeping the house in a good state of cleanliness clean is essential. Of course there are more important things, perhaps even money earning activities, you could be doing in the time you decide to dedicate to house work.
Think about all these things when evaluating the need for home cleaning services. House cleaning in most cases requires professional tools of the trade - good vacuum cleaner, proper mops, good sponges, brooms etc. and special materials - cleaning chemicals, that you may not have. Buying them for a one off job may not be economically viable. Also, using decent cleaning chemicals requires some expertise to ensure that these chemicals do not do any damage to your furnishings. Are you convinced you wish to do house cleaning and have sufficient knowledge of the cleaning chemicles?
We live in a fast moving world. You need a home to relax in. If each time you enter it you are plagued by thoughts of the house cleaning that is either pending or is due to be done, how much relaxation will there be for you in your home? And of course, carrying out the actual house cleaning yourself instead of hiring a cleaner, can be physically exhausting.
Then there is the question of time. You may save money by not using home cleaning services but what is the value of the time you will be spending on cleaning? Does it genuinely make sense to use your time on house cleaning? Could it not be put to better use?
And even if you feel that you have the time, what happens to your rest and relaxation? Remember, it is the rest and relaxation that keeps you in peak condition for your work periods and by depriving yourself of these can affect quality of the work you do. So maybe using home cleaning services is not just a luxury. Perhaps, if you need to cut expenses, there are other areas you can consider but without a negative effect on your quality of life.
