There is always more than one option.
This is never truer than when it comes to cleaning. Staying at home has mostly resulted in two ways of handling mess; either you've cleaned your house top to bottom (multiple times) or you've been doing the bare minimum 'cause cleaning ain't your therapy or release.
Either way, our homes need to be cleaned sooner or later and you may feel like it's a chore, but you have so many options. Here are the most popular go-to's:
DIY
The most obvious one, but maybe not the most enjoyable. You get to do it in your own time and the way you like it, plus nobody else has to come into your home if you're iffy about that. But to do a deep clean, you'll need to buy so many more cleaning products, for different surfaces and different jobs.
Can't just use the one daily cleaner everywhere if you want your home to be shining. Plus if cleaning isn't your forte, the outcome might not be what your home needs right now. (Yes, we can see those streaks on the windows.)
Hire a Recommendation
Now we're talking! If we want our homes to be so picture-perfect clean that our moms would be proud, we need professional help. Taking a recommendation from a friend is good if you are happy with how their home turned out.
But if you find a freelancer, it's important to sort out all the details in the beginning so both sides are clear on what's to be done and when. Sometimes it can be hard to schedule freelance cleaners, so you would need to book in advance. And Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) - you don't have any guarantees with most freelance self-employed cleaners, so finding one you like might take time.
