3 Tips For Seniors Looking For House Cleaners

As you age it can become difficult to keep up with some of your daily chores. There is no need to let things slide, though. You can hire a house cleaning services to help you with the tasks you no longer can do or the things you no longer want to do, so you can spend more time enjoying other things. The following tips can help you find the service that will help you most.

Tip #1: Determine Your Level of Service

House cleaning services come in a variety of levels. The most basic level is light housekeeping. Someone will come to your home every week or two to handle the dusting, vacuuming and mopping. More intensive house cleaning services are also available. These typically include full kitchen and bathroom cleaning services along with the light housekeeping duties. If you are still able and enjoy doing your daily cleaning, you may prefer to only bring in a full service once monthly to help ensure a thorough job is done. Light housekeeping services, combines with periodic thorough services, are a better option if you have mobility or other health problems that prevent you from doing the basic cleaning.

Tip #2: Consider Optional Services

Some house cleaning companies offer additional services that can further help you as you age. Services to look for include:

• Laundry. This way you won't need to do the heavy work and repetitive movements required to lift and fold clothes.

• Outdoor services. Some house cleaning services will handle a small amount of outdoor chores, such as watering planters, sweeping porches, or wiping down outdoor furniture surfaces. This can allow you to continue to enjoy your patio area even if you are no longer able to maintain it on your own.

• Organization services. Some services may provide more in depth tidying or organizing services, which can be a life saver if you can no longer lift and move boxes on your own. You will need to work with the service directly as they organize.

Tip #3: Decide Upon Your Frequency

Once you know which types of service are most likely to help you, it's time to decide upon frequency. Generally, this should be as often as you can reasonably budget for combined with the minimum that you need. If you are no longer capable of any type of house cleaning, consider have a weekly light housekeeping service combined with a monthly or seasonal deep cleaning. If you can handle the light work, you may be able to hire a deep cleaning service as infrequently as once a season, or every three months.
