Weekend Cleaning
Do you just spend the entire weekend cleaning your house and catching up on laundry? Have you ever thought about what your life would be like if you could take all of that frustratingly wasted time back? Shouldn’t your time be spent doing something you enjoy with the people you love? Where would you be now if such alchemy was possible? Fortunately, we think we can help you figure that out! If you use our maid service in West Michigan you can free up your weekend time doing things that have more value and meaning to you. It seems obvious that you would be much better off. Here are a few reasons why you should not spend the weekend cleaning, and some things to do instead!
Your Children
Children really deserve to have the weekends reserved for them. Between daycare, school and your work, they don’t get enough quality time with mom/dad. Make plans for an arts and crafts activity, play in the mud, or go somewhere special with the kids West Michigan has many wonderful places to explore. Many of them are even Free! Children only stay little for so long, and the time you have now, you’ll never get back. One day they’ll be walking out the door with their packed up belongings to start a life of there own. It’ll happen so fast you’ll wonder where the time went and how it went so fast. You’ll never regret the memories you’ll make with your children, but you will regret the time wasted on cleaning and chores instead.Your Significant Other
You have to share your time. Whether it is with work, kids, pets, friends or hobbies, your spouse deserves your individual attention too. We are all so busy with daily life, that sometimes people forget that your spouse is more important than anyone or anything else, as they are your life partner. Cleaning the bathrooms can wait, or better yet, done by your cleaning service. That extra hour you don’t have to spend scrubbing down the shower, wiping down the toilet, and shining the mirror could be spent enjoying a cup of coffee and a long overdue chat. Investing your time in your relationship/marriage is key to a long-lasting relationship, and reduces stress.Your Friends
Friendships are important too. Making time to get lunch, dinner or drinks is always good for your friendships and for your own well being. Surrounding yourself with friends makes life more enjoyable. When you make time for your friends, they can become like your extended family. If you’re always there for your friends, chances are they’ll always be there for you.Your Sanity
Your mental well being is extremely important. Juggling everything and everyone in your life can be a real balancing act. Treat yourself to a break from the weekend cleaning, and hire us to do it for you. There are many studies that correlate your home environment with your mental health. Living in a clean home (one that is cleaned for you especially) can result in lower stress levels.
Dining Out
This is a less dazzling choice, but quite possibly something you’ve been missing out on! If you’ve been spending the weekends cleaning, you’ve been throwing away time that could’ve been spent finding new restaurants and experiencing new cuisines. If you use our cleaning services, whether you live in Grand Haven or somewhere else in West Michigan, you could spend some serious time working on becoming more refined in your culinary tastes and experiences in your local, or not so local culture! When you dine out, not only do you just get to sit back, relax and enjoy the meal, you also don’t have to worry about cleaning up all the dishes after. A little side note: If you don’t enjoy doing dishes, it’s a service we offer in addition to many other options.
Enjoying Your Hobbies
Considering hiring a cleaning service is a clear choice and for good reason! We all need our hobbies to keep ourselves from going insane. Why not devote some time to them once you’ve gotten a maid service and freed yourself from the burdensome chains of household cleaning? Maybe you want to practice sculpting, or you like collecting coins. Perhaps you’ve been dying to get started on some yoga exercises, or you’d like to take up landscape photography. You possibly have a hobby already but haven’t had time to pick up that dusty old instrument and really enjoy yourself. Above all, this could become open to you and your lifestyle if you remove long bouts of cleaning and tidying from your schedule!
Socializing
Do you remember that thing called a social life? Yeah, me either! It’s so hard to socialize and hang out with your friends and family while you’re busy working, taking care of life and… yeah… cleaning! If you get the cleaning taken care of and out of your routine, you will, in all likelihood, surprise yourself with the sheer quantity of new time you have to socialize and spend time with all of your friends and loved ones. Cleaning could be taking so much time away from enjoying the company of other human beings, and let’s face it – parents craving the company of other adult human beings – this is all the more reason to rid yourself of the task altogether! Life on the weekends is about enjoying time with those you care about, not taking care of chores and cleaning.
Relaxing
On the other hand, the hustle and bustle of daily life and trying to care for a social life might be too complicated for you. Maybe you just want some downtime to yourself. Just to take a few minutes to breathe and collect your thoughts! Or maybe there’s a good book you haven’t had a chance to actually dig into. All in all that’s just as reasonable as any other motivation. We all need some time now and again to clear our heads and focus on getting back to a nice rhythm and homeostasis. If you utilize our cleaning services, you can spend far more time than you do now melting away the stress and getting to a good baseline of calmness and focus! It’s a nice, pleasant thought that is, by all means, at least worth considering. You might as well try it out and see what kind of difference it makes in your life!How Americans Spend their time
Americans spend their time in a wide variety of ways. To sum it up, into four categories, there are household activities, leisure, work and personal care. The U.S. Department of Labor does a survey called the American Time Use Survey. In the findings of some of these surveys in the past, they show that Americans are spending more time on household chores than they are with their children or on outdoor activities. The majority of time is spent working, sleeping and leisure activities, such as watching television. For one thing, we all deserve the extra time to enjoy our lives. In addition, if less time was spent on the weekends doing household work, we could enjoy more time on making memories. Most importantly, memories that are worthwhile. While it’s agreeable that it’s nice to catch up on your soaps, there’s much more to life than work, sleep, and tv!
