Scheduling professional cleaning before being home
My husband & I move back & forth between many separate residences, but our goal is to like the best weather in each location, and the people I was with and I originally lived for half the year in the north & the other half in the south! However, our kids have all moved south, & every one of us now have many grandkids, then i’ve started spending less time in the northern house. Because my workload is handled absolutely online, I can do my job from virtually somewhere… My husband owns & operates grape vineyards. There are unique times of year when he had no choice however to remain up north. I recently spent many weeks living in our southern condo while my husband was dealing with harvest up north! When it was time for myself and others to join him, I was distraught 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 & immediately feel the need to start scrubbing! Keeping up with the essential jobs of many homes is challenging. I knew there would be a long list of jobs to keep myself and others busy. I finally went online & researched professional cleaning companies in the area. I found a company with entirely good reviews & filled out the contact form. I was able to schedule a whole-house cleaning for the afternoon prior to my arrival. The cleaning crew went through the beach house & washed the countertops, vacuumed the carpets & mopped the home office floor. They scrubbed the sinks, toilets & showers. They dusted the table tops, window sills & mantle. The service wasn’t overly fancy & eliminated a wonderful deal of stress. I arrived at a clean & fresh-smelling home.
