Did you know that the average washing-up sponge contains more bacteria than a toilet?
Add this to bacteria from pets, children, and day-to-day life and it’s easy to see how a house can quickly become unhygienic. Struggling to find the time to tackle cleaning your home or office without missing out on the things you love doing?
Luckily there is a simple solution. Whether you are too busy to clean, or if cleaning isn’t your thing, hiring a professional cleaning service will solve all your problems. They will leave your whole home clean and fresh, even the corners you pretend not to see!
Read on to discover the ten reasons you should hire a cleaning service today.
1. Create a Healthier Environment
Harmful airborne bacteria or mold buildups can affect people who suffer from allergies or respiratory problems. These people will find their symptoms are worsened by being in a dirty environment.
Even those without any pre-existing conditions can find themselves with skin infections or flu-like symptoms as a result of this bacteria.
Hiring a cleaning service will mean that your home or workplace will never get to the point of being hazardous to health. A healthier environment is better for everyone and will create more productive employees.
2. Have More Time to Yourself
Whether you’re hiring a professional business cleaning service or a professional house cleaning service, one of the biggest benefits is convenience.
By hiring a reputable company to do time-consuming jobs like vacuuming, dusting, and scrubbing, you’ll have more time to dedicate to doing important tasks at work or unwinding with your family.
3. Get the Job Done to a Higher Standard
Cleaning isn’t just about tidying away a little clutter and vacuuming once a week. Those tricky hard-to-reach places need the same level of attention.
Professional cleaning services have the right tools and know-how to clean your property from top to bottom, leaving it safe and germ-free.
A professional will do a much better job of cleaning than you could do. They will ensure that even the most stubborn areas are clean and fresh.
4. Impress Your Guests or Customers
First impressions are important. Have you ever walked into a dirty house or business and immediately felt uncomfortable?
Whether you are wanting to impress a potential customer walking into your business or a friend coming over to visit for the first time, a clean property will make both you and them feel more at ease with each other.
If you have a customer-facing business it makes a lot of financial sense to invest in a cleaning service. Customers are much more likely to trust and spend their money with a business that looks the part.
After all, would you trust a company to take care of your needs if they can’t even keep their office clean and presentable?
5. Set a Schedule That Works for You
Hiring a cleaning service is really flexible. You can hire a company to clean as often as you need, and can change the schedule to suit you.
Whether you need a monthly deep clean or a lighter touch-up a few times a week, you don’t have to tie yourself to a rigid contract.
This is great if you are needing a post-renovation deep clean, or just need some extra help now and again.
6. Reduce the Risk of Pest Infestations
We don’t like to talk about it, but pest infestations are much more common than you think. Properties that are often dirty or where there is food left out can become overrun with pests.
If this happens, you may face problems like contaminated food, ill pets, and generally unhygienic living and dining areas.
Regular visits from a professional cleaning service can prevent this from happening and save you a lot of money down the road.
7. No Need to Buy Expensive Supplies
Think about what you use to clean your kitchen. From a mop and bucket, vacuum cleaner, and cloths to various specialist chemicals and protective wear, it takes a lot. Now think about how much you would need to clean every other room in a house or office building.
When you hire a cleaning service, you don’t just hire a person. You hire their equipment and chemicals too.
You will never have to buy expensive supplies again and you can make better use of the cupboard you used to store half-filled cleaning chemicals in!
8. Make Sure Nothing Is Missed
When we do our own cleaning, we tend to start with the “easier” areas and then randomly move from room to room. This can mean you often end up doing more work than you need to, or even end up missing a room.
A professional will be far more methodical and will work on a structured checklist to make sure nothing is missed and nothing is repeated.
They can complete more tasks within a shorter period, so are very cost-efficient.
9. Spend Less on Repairs
Appliances always seem to break down at the worst possible time, don’t they?
While cleaning them won’t make them last forever, it will increase their lifespan, and save you a lot of money in emergency repairs.
Washing machines, toilets, and showers can all last longer if kept well-maintained. Cleaning these appliances can be more complex and time-consuming than general everyday cleaning tasks. Luckily, a deep clean once a fortnight is all that is needed.Â
To get the job done right the first time, consider hiring a cleaning service who can get it done quickly and efficiently.
10. Benefit From Useful Extra Services
Let’s be honest. When most of us clean our homes, we do the bare minimum and rarely go above and beyond to do extra maintenance jobs.
A professional cleaning service doesn’t just vacuum or dust. Many offer carpet cleaning, mattress cleaning, and post-renovation cleaning.
Whatever you need, professionals can get the job done, saving you a lot of time and inconvenience.
Why You Should Choose a Professional Cleaning Service
We understand that life can get busy, and it can feel impossible to keep up with cleaning on top of everything else. A professional cleaning service will allow you to maintain a clean and healthy working or living environment.
