You don’t have to earn the right to hire a house cleaner.
Seriously.
I think there’s this strange belief that hiring someone to clean your home is something you should only do if you have a good enough excuse.
Maybe you work 60 hours a week.
Maybe you’ve got three kids running around.
Maybe you’re physically unable to keep up with the housework.
And sure, those are all perfectly good reasons to hire someone.
But you know what else is a perfectly good reason?
You just don’t fu***ng want to clean your house. Haha.
That’s it.
You don’t need to justify it to anybody.
I think a lot of homeowners struggle with the idea of outsourcing their cleaning because they feel guilty about it.
Like they’re being lazy.
Like they should be perfectly capable of doing it themselves.
Or like hiring a cleaner is some kind of luxury they haven’t worked hard enough to deserve.
And I think that’s a pretty unfortunate way to look at it.
Because being capable of doing something doesn’t mean you’re obligated to spend your time doing it.
I’m perfectly capable of changing the oil in my vehicle. Doesn’t mean I want to.
I’m perfectly capable of cooking my own meals. Doesn’t mean I never order food.
And I’m certainly capable of cleaning my own house.
Hell, I own a cleaning company. Haha.
But you can bet your ass that when I’m in a financial position to outsource cleaning my own home, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing.
Not because I’m incapable of doing it.
Not because I think I’m above cleaning my own toilets.
I spend a good portion of my life cleaning other people’s toilets.
But because I understand that my time has value outside of the work I’m capable of performing.
And so does yours.
Maybe you want to spend more time with your kids.
Maybe you want to go to the gym.
Maybe you want to work on a business, spend time with your spouse, or sit on the couch and do absolutely nothing for an afternoon.
You don’t need to turn every free hour of your life into another obligation.
And you certainly don’t need to feel guilty for paying someone to take one of those obligations off your plate.
Now, if you genuinely enjoy cleaning your own home, fantastic.
Keep doing it.
But if you dread spending your weekends scrubbing bathrooms, washing floors, and wiping down countertops, there’s nothing wrong with deciding that your time would be better spent elsewhere.
And I think that’s something more people need to hear.
You don’t have to be overwhelmed, exhausted, or incapable to deserve a clean home without having to clean it yourself.
If hiring a cleaner fits your budget and makes your life better, that’s reason enough.
You worked for your money.
You get to decide what it’s worth spending it on.
And if that means paying someone else to scrub your toilet while you enjoy your Saturday?
Well, that’s kind of why The Clean Up Crew exists.
For People Who Hate Cleaning Bathrooms. Haha.
