I always imagined that once I bought a house I'd like to get a cleaner in maybe quarterly for a deep clean.
This month I bought a GrabOne daily deal for a house clean from a local company. I'm not sure I'd use them again - they don't have a website and only a cell phone, and despite confirming spare key access over the phone (because I'd be at work when they came) I got a text that morning saying that nobody had answered the door. They sent someone back and I came home to a clean place, at least.
While they did more of a regular clean rather than focusing on the other stuff like windows and baseboards and high cobwebs (maybe I should have been more specific? Definitely looking for a specific spring clean package next time) they did a 1000x better job on everything than I do. Shower, floors, etc. I could easily get used to this, I tell ya.

The reality of renting. Fuck that shit (pardon my language, but seriously). I'm so glad to put that phase behind me. I get enraged just thinking about it, especially our last tenancy - though at least it wasn't on this level of bad
