Discover Affordable Holiday Home Cleaning Services
With festive seasons approaching and so many tasks to finish, it's an excellent time to think about your home's cleaning, especially if you've never done it yourself before (or maybe 'especially' if you haven't). There's a certain etiquette to follow when hiring a cleaning service for the first time, but remember, first-time cleaning workers often receive a significant discount on their services.
Home Cleaning Services
The home cleaning services available to you may depend on your location, but some well-known brands offer a wide range of services. For instance, Home Aglow charges only $19 for an initial three-hour cleaning, but you need to verify if your area is within their service range and bear in mind that you'll need to subscribe to their $49 monthly membership to maintain those low prices.
Other national companies such as The Maids and Merry Maids provide pricing based on whether you're requesting a one-off or holiday cleaning, and they will offer a cost estimate upon receiving your information.
You can also test out apps like Handy or Angi, which connect you with skilled professionals in various fields, including cleaning services. They usually offer first-time discounts and boast extensive networks of providers who book using the app. For example, a three-hour cleaning service through Handy in North Dakota costs $55. Angi allows you to compare prices from multiple local providers based on your specific needs.
Things to Consider When Hiring a Holiday Cleaning Service
Take advantage of the holiday season to find affordable home cleaning services with special offers. Remember that some companies, like Home Aglow, require a monthly membership fee to keep the cost of surface cleaning low, while others may not always be as affordable if you choose to stay with them after the initial discount.
Remember, you're entrusting someone to handle your dirty items, so it's vital to offer a gratuity, regardless of the initial discount. It's unclear if the discount comes from your pocket or the company's, so always be generous with your tip.
Preparing for the Holidays at Home - Useful Products
If you're planning to clean your house yourself or can't find an affordable service in your area, here are a few essential products to help you out:
- Stock up on microfiber cloths. They work effectively on just about anything, and since they're reusable, you can buy 50 for just $12.99.
- Reduce sloppy wiping and maintain mop order with the popular O-Cedar Mop and Wringer Set, available for $24.49.
- Ready to relax during the holiday season? Now may be the perfect time to invest in a Dyson wireless vacuum cleaner like the V11, currently priced at $399.
- Save on physical labor with a rotating scouring brush, like the Voweek Scrubber. It comes with four different attachments for $42.49 and is expandable, so you won't need to bend over.
