The Benefits of Professional Cleaning Over DIY Cleaning
“The more things change, the more they stay the same.” - Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr
The reality is that life, in general, has undergone huge changes since 2020 with the constant need to navigate, adjust, and adapt to new ways of being. It’s no wonder so many of us have seen an increase in our stress and anxiety over the past three years.
However, there are still things that remain the same. The need for consistency in key areas of our lives is one of them. This is where cleaning comes in. Cleaning our homes is a never-ending chore, one that keeps our homes healthier. Of course, this chore tends to be one of monotony that interferes with our free time. Time we could - and should - be spending doing things we enjoy, with the people we enjoy.
However, with all the hustle and bustle throughout the week, we often do not have the energy or desire to clean our homes in the evening or on the weekends. This is why we can always rely on cleaning services to be there when we need them, helping us to keep our surroundings clean, safe, and organized.
There’s a reason that Clean Club Calgary believes that we clean so you don’t have to. Even with all your Do It Yourself (DIY) cleaning intentions, life happens, easily distracting you from ensuring your home is cleaned and cleaned effectively. A professional cleaning company doesn’t just provide comfort in the consistency and quality of cleaning. They provide several other health benefits that support your overall well-being.
Reduce Stress
DIY cleaning may seem like an easy way to save money, but it often leads to increased stress and anxiety if you do not like cleaning or you continue to put it off. The more you procrastinate, the bigger the chore becomes, eventually overwhelming you because it is always in the back of your mind when you’re at home. Constantly seeing clutter pile up or surfaces that need to be scrubbed are visual reminders that you aren’t doing something. It overstimulates your mind, distracts you and pulls your focus from more important things, creates guilt and frustration, and can leave you feeling helpless.
Working with a professional, you take the stress of having to clean your house off your shoulders because you know it will be taken care of…just not by you!
Goodbye Sick Germs
Cleaning has become even more important in recent times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With schools and workplaces placing greater emphasis on staying home if you have even a hint of a sniffle or cough, a clean home helps reduce time away from these important areas of life.
One key thing here is that cleaners don’t just clean your home, which is the removal of dirt, debris, dust and other unwanted materials from surfaces, we sanitize them. This further reduces the germs living on a surface, helping to minimize contact with unwanted bacteria that may have made their way into your home. A professional cleaner brings industry training and an understanding of the science behind cleaning, which offers knowledge and experience to thoroughly clean and sanitize all areas of a home. We are equipped with high-quality equipment and cleaning supplies to ensure no corner is left untouched. Knowing that your home is regularly being cleared of these critters and unwelcome germs provides greater peace of mind. We get our hands dirty so you and your family can breathe more easily.
Enjoy a Regular Schedule
Working with a professional cleaner on a regular schedule ensures that your space is consistently clean and maintained. This not only reduces stress but also promotes better health and well-being for everyone in the space. This also provides a greater sense of comfort that matches your personal preference and lifestyle because it builds consistency in your calendar, which provides a sense of control in this uncontrollable world.
How often cleaning is scheduled is up to you and the factors that influence the cleanliness of your home. If you’re a family of four with two furry dogs, we recommend weekly or bi-weekly to avoid the build-up of clutter, hair, fur, and grime. If you’re single, child and animal free, travel two out of four weeks a month and live in a spacious condo, monthly may be enough. Whatever a regular cleaning schedule means and works for you, is the schedule that we would recommend.
Deep Cleaning Splendour
Lastly, professional cleaners provide a deep clean that removes dirt, grime, and bacteria from every surface without damaging your home along the way. We’re trained in what type of cleaning product works best on what type of surface, how to clean leather furniture versus fabric ones, and the tricks to get your toilet sparkling. This level of cleanliness can be difficult and time-consuming to achieve with DIY cleaning methods, particularly without the knowledge of how to help prolong the life of furniture, carpets, and other household items.
We always recommend a deep cleaning at least twice a year, often at the beginning of spring and the end of autumn. This allows us to really get into the corners that a regular clean doesn’t allow time for.
Ultimately, a cleaner isn’t there to tidy up. We are there to scrub, freshen, and transform your home into a place to relax in, not complete yet another chore that distracts you from what’s truly important - your time.
While DIY cleaning may seem like a cost-effective solution, it’s important to consider the short and long-term benefits of hiring a professional cleaner. With their expertise, equipment, and commitment to deep cleaning, professional cleaners offer a stress-free, high-quality solution for maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
