Why do People Hire Domestic Cleaners: Some people still live with the misconception that those who hire domestic cleaners do it because they are too lazy to get on with their house chores. But in our long years of experience, we have had clients from all walks of life, at different ages and with different circumstances. None of those clients we would describe as lazy. We’ve had busy professionals with glowing careers, stay-at-home moms, who just couldn’t get it all done, elderly citizens, who simply weren’t as energetic or capable as before and many, many other people with different stories. So, when we get asked why people hire domestic cleaners, we usually point out these 5 reasons, just as a starting point.

To Save Time

Cleaning does take a lot of time, especially if you are not a professional. Working individuals often don’t have the luxury to dedicate a few hours a week to cleaning their homes because they have long hours at work and sometimes have to travel outside of the city. On top of that, many of them have families that need attention, and 24 hours in a day never seem to be enough. Trying to fit it all is extremely stressful and detrimental to most people’s mental health. Having a domestic cleaner takes that burden off. What an ordinary person can clean in 2 hours, a professional could fit into 45 minutes to an hour. It saves time that could be dedicated to other areas of life that make us complete and satisfied humans.

To Enjoy Fun Activities

Imagine living a life where you go to work, come back home to do chores, check on the kids and go to bed absolutely exhausted. Sadly, that’s the reality for many, many people. Life could be a lot more enjoyable if those people hired a domestic cleaner. We know, this is a luxury service and therefore, it is not affordable for each and every household. But we also know there are families or individuals who can afford the service, yet they choose not to, mainly because of insecurities, fears or misconceptions. Your cleaning lady can be your pass to a fun afternoon with your children, a night out with friends or simply a spa day on your own.

To Relax

Everyone needs to unwind and just relax once in a while. Even stay-at-home moms who don’t go to work. In fact, they need it the most. Raising children and organising your family’s life is a lot more demanding and stressful than society believes. There is no shame in having a domestic cleaner even if you are staying at home most of the time. You too need those moments for yourself away from the mop and the vacuum cleaner.

To Have a Safe and Healthy Home

Professional cleaners undergo special training and have access to much stronger and more efficient cleaning products and tools than we can find in stores. Domestic cleaning is more than making your home look neat and pretty. It is a health investment for your entire family. Regular professional cleans will minimise the risk of bacterial and viral infections in your property, relieve allergy symptoms and improve your sleep.

To Avoid Damage

Cleaning one’s home may be something natural to many people, but unless you are a professional, the risk of damage to various surfaces and items is always high. A lot of our clients choose to hire us to avoid cleaning related accidents, which can be very serious. It is even more important for people who are renting a property because mishandling of cleaning products or methods can cause permanent damage to the carpets, floors, furniture or appliances owned by the landlord. All those faults will lead to a deduction from the security deposit the tenants have paid before moving in.
