Sometimes, the thought of cleaning the house is just too much, right? But many of us feel just a little guilty about employing cleaning help, and try to avoid the possibility by simply living with the dirt.

But let’s think about the positive side of having someone come in and help with the housework. Not only do you get someone else to do the chores you either don’t want, or don’t have the time to do, but also you help them to earn an honest living. OK, the wages are not great for cleaners, but at least they have work to do. And most cleaning company owners are small business people, so you’re helping keep the economy going on the best level possible.

At the same time, you will get the expertise of the professional, and you will probably find that they can do the job in about half the time it would take you, thus having minimal impact on your day, and leaving you free to get on with the work that enables you to pay the cleaner.

Cleaners who work on an individual basis are often the cheapest option, but if you are thinking about employing an individual, it’s important to get references. The vast ...
... majority of people are completely trustworthy, of course, but you will want to be sure that anyone who has access to your property and its contents is absolutely honest, so do ask around among friends and family and see if there is someone other people you know will recommend. After all, if you let a complete stranger have the run of your home, the tendency is going to be there to follow them around to make sure they take good care of your belongings, and all that that will do will be to take up the hours you are supposed to be saving, and make the (probably honest) cleaning help feel they are mistrusted. Not the best way to start what ideally should be a long-term relationship!

The other option is to contact a cleaning company. These companies will likely have insurance, and will have vetted their staff on your behalf, so you will feel more confident about leaving them on their own to get on with the job, and they will feel more comfortable doing so without being watched. If anything does get broken, for example, you can go back to the company for compensation rather than having to fight out whose responsibility it is with the individual. Also, a company usually supplies the cleaning equipment that the cleaning help uses, which means that they never run out of liquids, cloths, brooms, etc. and you do not have to be involved in replenishing supplies.

All in all, whichever way you go about getting that extra cleaning help, if you take a sensible approach, you should end up with a regular cleaner who you trust and who trusts you to treat him or her with respect, and a mutually beneficial relationship that could go on for years.
