| - It's really easy to book online, & they have straightforward pricing that made clear exactly how much I'd be paying & for what. My first time booking, I also found a $30-off Groupon, which brought down the cost a little - though I knew it would absolutely be worth the full price.
The morning of my first appointment, two cleaning ladies arrived a little bit before their scheduled time of 10:30am. They even called me to tell me when they were on their way! I was afraid it might be awkward that I'd be there the whole time, working from home, but they told me they'd clean my office last so that I could work throughout their cleaning. I put on a headset to take my morning call, & I mostly couldn't hear the vacuuming at all.
The whole thing only took about an hour. They dusted, swept & mopped the floor, scrubbed the sinks & shower & toilet, & even took out the trash. When they were done, I stood in my living room & basically just twirled around like a princess in love with her castle.
Everything was so freaking sparkly-clean. There were no tumbleweeds of cat fur blowing in the ceiling-fanned breeze, no jam-like residue tracked in from the mulberry tree in our front yard, no slivers of carrots & onions on the kitchen floor that sometimes escape my fiance's cooking creations. It was like our home was a hotel.
Truly, I can't explain how happy I was to stand barefoot on a freshly vacuumed rug, sunlight streaming through the windows, & take in this spotless apartment. This is an expense I'm happy to pony up for. Because that kind of happiness? Well, it turns out you can buy it, after all.
