Common Misconceptions About Hiring a Cleaning Service Debunked!

2

We live in a modern age, but we still suffer from some very old and expired values and taboos, a bit hypocritical don’t you think? We strive towards coziness and enjoyment and we constantly chase the dragon called “me time”, but despite all that there are some things we feel are just not appropriate and are just a sign of laziness or even rudeness.

So why tremble before the shaky foundation of some rusty moral standards and prejudice? Why be your own slave? Why not just pick up the phone and schedule a professional cleaning service? Yes, today. Nothing is really stopping you from doing yourself and your home a favor, except you.

Here is a list of some misconceptions we face today when we consider hiring a professional cleaning service.

“I am too precious to waste time cleaning”

Well sure, there are people with this attitude, but then there is the rest of us who don’t really agree. I mean, who really decides if any job is demeaning or honorable. We as grownups have that privilege and an obligation to decide how we want to spend our precious time, whether you like to do things yourself or you like to pay for service, it shouldn’t really matter.

For example, I don’t think I am “too good” to make a cake just because I buy it in the store or that anyone else is “too good” for something they like to do themselves. Same goes for cleaning, which actually can be a very physically demanding and time-consuming job.

“Lower your standards and do it yourself”

Another example of invisible rules people like to invent to justify their own laziness or frustration or basically any other negative attitude they so eagerly like to spew out as often as possible. Needs and necessities should be individual preferences, and nobody is right or wrong here or has the right to molest you with their opinion.

It’s quite simple actually, you need to calculate how much time and money you have and how you want to spend it. There is also no rule saying that something should be more or less clean, or if something is too clean or not clean enough. This can even go into a personal taste category, maybe you don’t care if there is dust on shelves or if your dog brought in mud and dirt.

So basically, it is all up to you to decide whether you want your home cleaned regularly and professionally and how clean it should be. It is also up to you to decide whether you want to clean it yourself or you feel more comfortable hiring a cleaning service, it really is that simple.

“Cleaning service is a luxury”

Well, this is and isn’t true. Being a part of a first-world country many things are considered luxury and privilege depending on the perspective you view things from. It also comes down to how much money and time is currently available to you and how you want to allocate those resources.

You shouldn’t feel like you are doing something wrong if need a cleaning service and you can afford it. There’s plenty of people out there who drive better cars, have bigger apartments and go to more expensive vacations, but that does not mean that they are not good people. Being able to choose where you want to spend and where you want to make cuts already is a luxury, and this privilege gives you these options and what you need to do is decide what is more important to you and your family.

“Everyone should be able to run a household by themselves”

We live in a time when we have means and appliances for almost any chore in the house. Now, in this day and age, it is much easier to run a household than, for example, a hundred years ago. But that does not necessarily mean that you need to do it all by yourselves just because. There really is no need to justify your money and the precious time to anyone when there can be so little of it, especially during working days.

It is you who makes this decision, it is you who decides if help is needed or not. Just because you are able to do something does not mean that you are obligated to do it. There is nothing wrong with being so well organized in every aspect of your life so that you can multitask and achieve stunning results, but at the same time and the same amount of truth, there is nothing wrong with hiring help.

The thing is, each and every one of us is different, and one’s needs are someone else’s waste of time and money, and vice versa. If hiring a professional cleaning service is helpful to you personally, then there is nothing else you need to consider.
