Hosting a Holiday party? Three Recommendations for Home Cleaning Services in Long Island

‘Tis the season for holiday parties and family get-togethers! If you’re the lucky one who gets to host this year’s holiday events, you may already have a running list of the things you need to prepare, buy, cook, and clean.

While I can’t help you with all of those things, I do have some sage advice for you about the cleaning part. Are you ready? Hire someone else to do it.

I’m serious. Hiring someone to help with the housecleaning was one of the best things my wife and I ever did for ourselves. As busy parents, we didn’t have the time, energy, or desire to deep clean the house on top of keeping up with the laundry, cooking, home maintenance, and our two kids. If you’re a parent, you know how that goes.

We’ve used the same house cleaning lady on a biweekly basis for the past seven years. It’s helped us reclaim some of our time without sacrificing a clean house. And during busy months like December, the house is much easier to prepare for entertaining, since it’s been cleaned regularly.

Holidays aside, hiring a regular cleaning service is solid real estate advice too. Regular maintenance make a house sell easier and faster. With the help of a regular cleaning service, you can put your house on the market whenever you want without needing to do a deep, thorough cleaning first.

In case you don’t already have a trustworthy cleaning lady like we do, I’ve got some recommendations for places you can look into. I’ve recommended a few of these companies to clients before, because I think they’re dependable and worth their rates.
