There are plenty of naysayers that will tell you that you should clean your own home instead of outsourcing house cleaning. To our way of thinking, if Carol Brady could have Alice, the live-in housekeeper, on The Brady Bunch, even though she didn’t appear to work outside the home, anyone can have a helping hand with house cleaning! All joking aside, there are several reasons, even some unique ones, why outsourcing house cleaning isn’t something you should feel guilty about.
- Two-income families- Most families back in the late 1960s to early 1970s when The Brady Bunch aired were single-income families, so it was more common for the homemaker to do the house cleaning. Today, both parents usually have a career, and if you want time for the things you enjoy doing together, outsourcing house cleaning makes a lot of sense.
- Multi-generational family– As housing prices skyrocket, not to mention the overall cost of living, it is not uncommon for adult children to remain at home longer and for grandparents or great-grandparents to move in with family instead of assisted living. That results in far too many people to clean up after! Do yourself a favor and outsource house cleaning.
- Peace of mind– It can give you peace of mind to have a professional in charge of house cleaning, especially with sanitizing and disinfecting taking on more importance due to the pandemic. If your family is spending more time at home, it is even more critical to have a clean and healthy home.
The cost for professional house cleaning is nothing compared to the benefits you’ll enjoy, including more time with your family and doing the things you enjoy. Whether one of the above reasons resonates with you or you just don’t like doing it yourself, you should feel comfortable reaching out for help.
