A house cleaner might be a luxury, but sometimes outsourcing tasks makes the most financial sense
for down payment on a house, Anna Baluch bought her home and hired someone to clean for the first time.
Scrubbing bathrooms, mopping hardwood floors, vacuuming carpet, wiping down baseboards, and dusting surfaces is a time-consuming endeavor, even if you don't have any kids or pets like me. Even though my house is only about 1,900 square feet, it takes at least three hours to give it a good deep clean.
She came over one morning while my husband and I were at work and cleaned the top and lower levels of our raised ranch. That afternoon, I came home from work to a sparkling clean house that smelled great and instantly put me in a good mood. I was mesmerized by the polished furniture, glowing floors, and gleaming kitchen counters. It didn't take me long to call her up and let her know that I'd like to hire her to clean my house once a month.
