Kid Stuf

In these tough economic times, many people have chosen to save money with self home cleaning. Los Angeles home and business owners are rolling up their sleeves and tackling the dust bunnies and grimy windowsills that are common in this area. But do the monetary savings offset the time and efficiency savings offered by a Los Angeles cleaning service?

Amaidzing Agency estimates that a two-person Los Angeles house cleaning crew can cover an 800 sq. ft. apartment in about one hour. Each additional 400 sq. ft. add about one cleaner/hour. Chances are, most of the cleaning responsibility falls solely on you. Working alone, it may take you several hours or even a whole day to clean your home and/or office. That’s time you could have spent finding a new job, taking your kids to park, visiting friends, reading, and generally enjoying life.

Most people’s busy schedules prevent them from cleaning as often as they would like. This means that free time is rare, and the majority of us would rather spend it doing anything other than cleaning. This also means that we probably do not clean as efficiently or as thoroughly as a professional cleaning service does. Another consideration is the use of equipment and supplies. If the service that you use provides its own vacuums, mops, brooms, disinfectant, etc., you may end up recouping some of the cost of the service.

Deciding whether to use your own elbow grease or someone else’s is a personal decision. When facing a grim economic climate, skipping the professional service may seem like a no-brainer. However, it’s during these times that the simpler pleasures in life—such as spending time with the people you love—become even more important.
