Time is Money: How Professional Cleaning Can Save You Hours Every Week!

Team Klean (OTK) • November 29, 2024

With the increasing trend of breaking free from systematic constraints and pursuing side hustles along with our 9 to 5 jobs, it’s natural to feel sad, tired, or sometimes… lost.


Time is a valuable thing—probably the most valuable asset in today’s modern world. With time on our hands, we can excel in our careers, pursue our hobbies, and of course, spend quality moments with our loved ones.


Work-life balance has been a thing for a long time, but many people can’t seem to find that balance. That is why, prioritising what’s important and delegating what’s not to others can be a massive game-changer.


One of these not-so-important life chores is “cleaning”.


Today, we’ll be discussing why you should outsource home cleaning to a professional while you can focus on what truly matters.


Let’s jump in!

Why Delegate Cleaning Responsibility to Professionals?

Delegating cleaning to the pros isn’t just practical, it is a step towards a more fulfilling lifestyle.

Time-saving

For most households, cleaning is a very time-consuming task.


Instead of DIY cleaning, you can save hours of your time by hiring a professional cleaner to do it for you. Time-saving is the one most important reason why you should opt for a professional cleaning service.


According to recent statistics, an average Australian household can save around 8-12 hours each week by utilising professional cleaning services.


This saved time can then be reinvested in what truly matters—whether it’s spending quality moments with family, pursuing a hobby, or simply enjoying leisure activities that might otherwise be out of reach.

Consistency

Unlike ad hoc cleaning, professionals deliver consistent results every time. This also helps in making a consistent cleaning schedule which we’ll talk about later, but for now… consistent quality can give you that peace of mind where you can look forward to expected cleaning results consistently.


This ensures that your home is always clean and ready for guests at all times. You can opt for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cleanings, according to your preference.

Professional Expertise

Professional cleaning services have highly trained individuals who are experts at what they do. They are exceptionally skilled at stuff like stain removal while dealing with sensitive surfaces, and know proper sanitisation protocols.


Some companies even have professionals with specialised training and certifications.


This massively reduces the likelihood of damaging delicate surfaces or furnishing, contributing to long-term cost savings.

Cost-effective Solution in the Long Run

That brings us to the next reason why you should hire a professional cleaning service—cost savings.


This might seem counterintuitive at first, but believe me, once you realise how valuable the time is that you save by delegating household cleaning to a professional, you'll never pick up a broom again!


According to this statistic, the average Australian family spends $187 on house cleaning each year, which is nothing when compared to long-term cost savings.


Hiring a professional avoids the costs of purchasing and maintaining cleaning tools and products yourself, reduces the need for repairs or replacements caused by improper cleaning, and saves a lot of time, which translates to financial value.


Moreover, professionals are well aware of how to work on delicate surfaces, preventing any potential damage that could occur with DIY cleaning.

How Professional Cleaning Saves Hours of Your Time

We all see the benefits of hiring a professional cleaning service, all right, but how exactly will this save you time?


Well... let’s have a look.

Efficient Workflow

You might have found yourself in a situation where you need to clean the house as soon as possible, but when you do—well, let’s say that the results don’t look that great.


The problem is that we don’t have a proper workflow designed when it comes to cleaning. While on the other hand, professionals have optimised their processes to clean as effectively and quickly as possible.


One of the techniques involved is the delegating of different tasks among the cleaning team for faster results.


This ensures maximum quality of work done in the least amount of time.

Advanced Cleaning Techniques and Equipment

Cleaning professionals use industry-grade equipment and employ advanced cleaning techniques to ensure quicker and more thorough cleaning.


Advanced tools and techniques, including microfiber cloths, melamine foam sponges, top-to-bottom cleaning, zonal cleaning, and steam cleaning, deliver faster results and a more polished finish.


This is usually not possible in DIY cleaning.

Consistent Cleaning Schedule

If you are having trouble with your time management and life-work balance, having a consistent cleaning schedule can be a game changer. There are a lot of benefits associated with having regular cleaning sessions tailoured to your own routine—with time-saving being the number one!


This way, first of all, no time is spent in planning or managing the cleaning tasks. Secondly, the cleaning team you hire will know the exact workflow they will be following each week or month, depending on what you have agreed beforehand.


This not only saves you a lot of time but also gives you that peace of mind to focus on other important stuff in your daily life.

Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning is one of the key services offered by professional cleaning agencies. It offers comprehensive and intensive cleaning that goes way beyond regularly maintained standards.


While thorough removal of grime and dirt is a part of deep cleaning, there’s a special focus on hygiene and sanitisation. Allergen reduction, odouerr elimination, and removing build-up that could cause long-term damage to surfaces are also part of the package.


Deep cleaning targets every nook and cranny, and removes dirt from places that are often neglected during regular cleaning.


Achieving this level of cleaning and revitalising your home demands a lot of time, which can be saved by outsourcing this time-consuming chore to the pros.

Occasion-Ready Cleaning

Want prep or post-party clean-ups? Save the stress of managing these time-intensive tasks yourself and hire a cleaning professional.


Professional cleaning will also ensure that you get a spotless space for the guests to arrive, and the attention to detail leaves the venue looking perfect before and after the event.


It is both convenient and reliable.

Reduced Stress and Fatigue

If you are one of those who can’t seem to focus on work if their place is all cluttered up, you are not alone. A lot of people can relate to this. And, this is where professional cleaning comes in.


A professionally cleaned and organised home can greatly enhance mental clarity.


It gives you that emotional and physical relief of not having to tackle cleaning on busy days and allows you to focus on the work at hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

As we reach the end of our article, we’d like to answer some of the FAQs asked by our customers:

Is Hiring a Professional Cleaning Service Worth the Cost?

Hiring a professional cleaning service is often worth the cost, as it saves time, ensures a thorough cleaning, and provides peace of mind. Professionals handle hard-to-reach areas and stubborn stains, delivering results that are difficult to achieve with DIY efforts.

How Do I Choose a Reliable Cleaning Service?

To choose a reliable cleaning service, look for customer reviews, verify their credentials, and check for insurance coverage. Ask about their cleaning methods, experience, and whether they provide customisable plans.


Clear communication is the key!

Will I Need to Provide Cleaning Supplies or Equipment?

Most professional cleaning services bring their own supplies and equipment, but it's best to confirm beforehand. If you prefer specific products, like eco-friendly cleaners, discuss this with the service to ensure they accommodate your needs.


That’s all.

Final Word

Professional cleaning saves time, energy, and effort by tackling tasks efficiently and thoroughly. Outsourcing your cleaning needs lets you focus on what matters most, from spending time with loved ones to pursuing personal goals.

The 2024-25 Australian bushfire season began in September 2024 and is currently ongoing. Many states, including Tasmania, have experienced above-average temperatures and variable rainfall, which have contributed to fire risks across the state. In response to heightened fire risks during summer, the Tasmanian Government launched a campaign titled "You light it, you own it." This initiative emphasizes community responsibility for fire safety and prevention. Many of these fire incidents arise due to similar causes and can result in total devastation. The worst thing about fire is that it not only causes immediate destruction to the property but also leaves behind harmful residues that exacerbate over time if not handled properly. In this article, we will discuss the importance of post-fire cleanup and how professionals take the necessary steps to restore your property. So, without wasting a minute, let’s begin!

Eavestroughs, also known as rain gutters, are typically installed along the edge of the roof following the eaves lines. This crucial component of your home exterior collects rainwater as it flows down the roof and channels it towards downspouts — guiding it away from building foundations. Unfortunately, eavestrough cleaning often takes a backseat to other priorities as maintaining them can be challenging when you are already working with a packed schedule. Even though most of the time, these rain gutters are out of our sight, they must not be out of our minds. It is because, ignoring their cleanliness can lead to serious issues such as water damage, pest infestations, and diminished curb appeal. Today’s article will take a closer look at certain aspects that explain why eavestrough cleaning is essential for home maintenance. Let’s begin!

While dryer vent cleaning might seem like a minor aspect of home maintenance, many homeowners don’t realise that neglecting this routine can have negative consequences, including fire risk, reduced energy efficiency, and increased wear and tear on the dryer. Such conditions occur when small lint particles accumulate and settle within the vent system, restricting the airflow. To avoid these problems, it is recommended to clean your dryer vent every twelve months, especially if you use it more often. But how much does dryer vent cleaning cost?

In a highly competitive food industry, attracting and retaining customers is quite challenging. While factors such as quality, taste, and price of the food play an important role in customer satisfaction, one critical yet often overlooked aspect is the cleanliness and overall vibe of the restaurant. A cluttered and unhygienic environment can leave a negative impression on your customers, leading customers to question the safety and quality of your food — even though you are offering exceptional dishes. Worse, it may discourage them from revisiting your restaurant in the future. On the other hand, maintaining a clean and healthy environment not only enhances the overall dining experience but also contributes to earning your customer's trust and loyalty.

We all dream of having a beautiful and clean house where we can live a happy and healthy life. However, this humble dream can be shattered by a single culprit — mould! Mould problems have been prevalent in Australia, with over 1/3rd of households affected by its presence. Factors such as moisture, water leakages, and poor ventilation cause mould spores to grow and spread on materials like wooden flooring, drywall, and fabric. If disregarded or left untreated for a long time, these fungal spores can potentially result in various respiratory health hazards, and mould infestations can result in long-term structural damage to the property. That is why, timely detection and professional intervention to remove and prevent mould is not only required but also necessary to achieve a healthy living environment for yourself and your loved ones. Keeping that in mind, today we will be looking at the most common signs that tell you it’s time to hold your horses and call in for professional help. Let’s begin!

Many parts of Australia’s coastal and tropical regions are frequently experiencing heavy rainfalls and storms. These weather conditions create damp and humid environments, which are ideal for mould growth. Airborne mould spores are naturally present both indoors and outdoors. They begin to grow and spread rapidly when they land on damp surfaces. Recent data from Asthma Australia reveals that nearly half of Australians have had mould in their homes in the past year, with only one-third reporting the problem.

Neglecting poor hygiene in your workspace can mount a bigger problem, i.e. from affecting the employee’s health and morale to even damaging the company’s reputation.
