I have someone who comes to clean my house once a month.
It is money well spent.
We started this in 2014, after it became painfully obvious that I couldn't keep up the housework, still try to work, and deal with constant chronic pain all at the same time. We went through a few people before the young woman who cleans for me now took the job. She's been cleaning for me for about seven years.
The house always feels nice after she's been here. I clean and do chores throughout the month, of course, but it's good to have it all done at one time.
When my husband was recuperating from his hip surgery, I asked her if she could swing by and simply run the vacuum for me weekly so we could keep the dust down. Hip surgeries can become infected easily, so I wanted to keep the house as clean as possible for the first weeks of his recovery. She was happy to oblige, running by on her way to another person's house to spend 20 minutes with my vacuum. It took a load off of me to know that she would help me out.
Today was house cleaning day, and my house smells fresh and the floors sparkle.
That makes me happy!

Oh, I can almost smell the Pine Sol! I should do this. After I get my home together, I think I shall follow your lead.
