Is Hiring a Maid a Luxury or a Need?

by Matt Jensen - March 15, 2024

In many of our households, hiring a house cleaning service or a maid is labeled as the ultimate luxury. While that’s one way to think about it, let’s look at it differently: time is money. The time you spend scrubbing the toilet bowl could otherwise be invested in someplace more profitable for you.

Here are 3 reasons why we think you deserve a maid:

1.    Time-saving

Have you come across the idiom ‘you win some; you lose some.’? Well, in case you haven’t, it means that you must accept the good and the bad. Although the first thing that’s likely to hit you is that you’re losing money when availing a professional cleaning service for yourself, you’re gaining a much more valuable asset that is time.

On average, American’s spend 5 hours and 54 minutes each week cleaning the house; that’s almost 23 hours 36 minutes per month that includes sweeping, dusting, cleaning the bathroom, and doing the laundry.

To figure out what your time is worth, compare your hourly rate or house budget to that of the cost of employing a maid or cleaning service. For example, if you’re a freelancer who earns up to $75 per hour working on any given project and your maid charges $25 per hour, you can very well conclude that hiring a maid is money well spent.

2.    Avoiding stress

Despite the long hours, 34 percent of Americans remain concerned about their cleaning tactics being sufficient, while 31 percent doubt whether they’re cleaning correctly. Hiring a housecleaner buys you the extra hour for yourself and your family, and a squeaky-clean house is bound to lift your mood after a day’s long work.

3.    Guarantee quality for your money

Professional cleaners are trained to handle and clean delicate items with adequate compounds and cleaning tools that you may otherwise not have or know of.  Be sure to communicate your cleaning expectations when booking a session.
