Keeping a clean living environment is vital to having a healthy and happy home. Not only can a dirty and dusty home lead to any number of problems, ranging from the spread of disease to the development of allergies (to which your young children, if you have any, are likely to be more susceptible to developing). Fortunately, these things can be prevented with regular cleaning. A clean home is also likely to be a more productive home, which is especially important if you work remotely as more and more people are able to do nowadays. Working remotely has many benefits, but it means that having a clean house translates directly to having a clean work environment, which has been shown to increase the overall rates of productivity for many, many people whether or not they work outside of the traditional office space.

But keeping your home clean can be a difficult task for any number of reasons. One of the biggest reasons is time and that the vast majority of people simply do not have enough of it. As any working parent can attest to, time is often far too short and hardly ever everything that needs it gets done. Oftentimes when life is hectic, it’s all you can do to keep your kids fed, clean, and happy (and in bed on time, though this certainly be a losing battle for many, many parents in the United States as well as in many places all around the world. Some of the challenges of parenting are nothing if not universal). And it can also be difficult to divide up the cleaning tasks if you live with a partner, a spouse, or even just a roommate. Discussions over who is supposed to clean what can all too easily become contentious and very nearly half (forty seven percent, to be even more exact and precise) of all couples who cohabitate will argue at some point over the process of cleaning, over someone who is not cleaning and shirking their responsibilities, or even over poorly done cleaning jobs.

Fortunately, hiring a housekeeping service can be hugely beneficial. The vast majority of housekeeping services will come while you (and everyone else in your household too) is at work or school, allowing your life to become even more streamlined. Housekeeping services will also be very skilled in cleaning even the parts of your home that you dread cleaning or simply do not know how to clean well. Take the bathroom, for instance, which is arguably one of the most important room in your house to keep clean at all time. And though even as many as forty percent of all housekeeping service heads and managers say that the bathroom is the most difficult room in the homes of their clients to thoroughly clean, all housekeeping services will take their time and make sure that they do as thorough of a job as possible. On top of this, many housekeeping businesses only use very high quality cleaning products (as many as thirty nine percent of them, for those that may be looking for more exact numbers and percentages) which can not only reduce the air pollution in your home (as typical cleaning products can be toxic and can make your home’s interior as much as five hundred percent more polluted than the outside air) but are more likely to get the job done efficiently and effectively.

And housekeeping and cleaning services are more in demand than ever before, as more and more people seek to keep their homes in as pristine a condition as is feasibly possible. In fact, recent data shows that professional cleaners are widespread throughout the entirety of the country of the United States, numbering in the millions with nearly three and a half million people employed in some housekeeping and cleaning service. On top of this, the need for house cleaning is only on the rise, and such job opportunities that are involved in housekeeping and the like are expected to rise by a percentage of more than ten percent, far from an insignificant number.
