I felt incredibly guilty and a number of other emotions about hiring a cleaning service. But I did this weekend. They did a deep clean and it was SO worth it. 

Really considering continuing to hire a cleaning service to come at least every two weeks.

Cleaning is my BIGGEST source of stress. I'm tired of feeling like I'm constantly doing it. And cleaning just takes up so much time and energy that leaves me irritable and drained. 

Anyone have experience with this? Is it a game changer?

Yes, I have someone come every other month to do a deep clean on the  living, kitchen, master suite and second bathroom. It makes a huge difference! DH does pay half.

Having a cleaning service is wonderful. They really do deep deep cleaning. Worth every dollar.  Make sure you take off the stuff on your bathroom counters--toss them in a basket and store away. Yup to having kids tighten up their room.

Our service is very serious about posting:  it is so much easier for our staff to clean when there is less clutter...so  "please put your stuff away off counters' AND they also have a no touch or clean UP of animal waste, soiled diapers and feminine hygiene products.

I honestly DO NOT hold that against them. I would image they finally had to put their foot down because  some folks are gross. Why should their staff be subjected to items that can be toss in the trash OR flushed down the toilet.

Enjoy and never feel  bad that you hired someone to clean for you whether it is 1x a week, 2x a month OR 1x a month.

**In case you didnt know** ,

Unless your doing thing immoral or illegal IT IS NOT something to feel guilt about.

I so wish I could-I've been wanting it for years and years..I just can't afford it....hoping things change here shortly though and I'll finally be able to do this- once a month even would be great.  Having the 2 big dogs has created havoc in my house.
