Imagine hiring someone to infest your home with fleas, dust mites, allergens and more! Believe it or not many Americans do! Hiring a cleaning service to clean your home could cause dust mites find a new home and use your carpeting, upholstery and more as a nesting ground. I will now explain why you may want to reconsider hiring your cleaning lady.
Beat-Up Walls and Furniture " When a cleaning service comes to your house they do not care about the well being of your furniture or walls. They only get paid to vacuum your home. So be aware that when you hire a cleaning service may have to hire a painter afterwards because it is common for a cleaning lady to mistreat your home.
Dust Mites " Think about all of the houses a cleaning service cleaned before it went to your house. Now think of how many dirty, disgusting houses they clean. Many houses in the U.S. are infested with dust mites. And when a house is infested with dust mites, the whole house is infested including the mattress, comforters, carpets, rugs and more. Whatever the house had before, you are likely to get as well. That means that your house may soon be infested with millions upon millions of little dust mites. Not only are dust mites disgusting, but they can also cause bad allergic reactions.
Fleas " Yes that is right, Fleas could be become a potential problem if a cleaning service is using their own vacuum cleaner. Every time the vacuum cleaner hits the carpeting of another household you are at risk. Fleas jump from place to place and could get into the vacuum causing you an infestation of fleas in your own house!
Inefficient Cleaning " A cleaning service uses a vacuum over and over again everyday until it dies and during that time it is unlikely that a cleaning service is frequently changing belts or filters meaning the vacuum cleaner is not working at its full potential. A belt needs to be tight and filters cleaned to get top cleaning performance. Make sure you are not paying for someone to clean your house with sub-standard equipment.
Allergies and Asthma " Do you have allergies or asthma? If so, then you need a vacuum cleaner that is capable of truly filtering out the particles found in the air. Many cleaning services use vacuum cleaners that barely filter and actually pollute the air in your house by redistributing all of the dirt and dust the machine picked up back into the air. So if you have allergies make sure the vacuum being used in your house is filtering properly.
Finding time to clean your house can be difficult but in many cases it is necessary in order to prevent an infestation or allergy problems. If you use the money you would have spent on a cleaning service for the year for an awesome new vacuum; you can help prevent allergies, take care of your furniture and walls and really get your house clean.
