Scheduling professional cleaning before arrival home
My husband and I move back and forth between two separate residences.
Our goal is to enjoy the best weather in each location.
We originally lived for half the year in the north and the other half in the south. However, our kids have all moved south, and we now have several grandkids. I’ve started spending less time in the northern house. Because my workload is handled entirely online, I can do my job from virtually anywhere. My husband owns and operates grape vineyards. There are specific times of year when he had no choice but to remain up north. I recently spent six weeks living in our southern home while my husband was dealing with harvest up north. When it was time for me to join him, I was concerned about the condition of the home. My husband is not good about cleaning up after himself. He doesn’t notice dusty surfaces, cobwebs in corners or dirty sinks. I didn’t want to walk in the door and immediately feel the need to start scrubbing. Keeping up with the essential tasks of two homes is challenging. I knew there would be a long list of jobs to keep me busy. I finally went online and researched professional cleaning companies in the area. I found a company with very good reviews and filled out the contact form. I was able to schedule a whole-house cleaning for the day prior to my arrival. The cleaning crew went through the house and washed the countertops, vacuumed the carpets and mopped the kitchen floor. They scrubbed the sinks, toilets and showers. They dusted the table tops, window sills and mantle. The service wasn’t overly expensive and eliminated a great deal of stress. I arrived at a clean and fresh-smelling home.
