Why I'd Rather Clean My Brain Than My House (But Why I'll Hire Someone to Do Both)

Alright, let’s dive straight into the dirt—or rather, how to get rid of it without actually doing the dirty work myself. Trust me, I’d rather debug a thousand lines of code than tackle the chaos my three dogs and kids whip up. So, how do I keep my sanity and my house spick-and-span? Stick around, and I might just spill some trade secrets.

The Eternal Battle: Me vs. The Mess

There's a reason I prefer software over sponges—reboots are cleaner than any mop. But life has a funny way of reminding you that a clean home is as necessary as a clean bug log. With a house full of kids, a trio of dogs, and a wife who’s allergic to delegating, chaos is more the norm than an exception around here.

Enter the cavalry—monthly cleaning services. Yep, they’re my not-so-secret weapon. Regular enough to keep the insanity in check, and flexible enough to not feel like there’s always someone else in our space.

And let’s be real, if it weren’t for green cleaning solutions, I’d probably have turned into a mad scientist, trying to concoct a non-toxic cleaner that doesn’t smell like a chemical warfare.

Why My Floors Shine Brighter Than My Brand New App

Did I mention we have hardwood floors? Beautiful, but they show absolutely everything. I found a hardwood floor cleaning service that uses green products and doesn’t leave the floors feeling like a sticky aftermath of a kid's birthday party. It’s the little victories, you know?

And before you ask if I’ve tried cleaning them myself—yes, yes I did. Once. Never again. It’s like coding in assembly language when there’s Python. Why make life harder?

Checklist For Not Turning Your Home Into A Biohazard Zone

• Pick a cleaning service like you’d pick a stock—do your research!
• Opt for green cleaning solutions—Mother Earth will thank you, and so will your sinuses.
• Stick to a schedule—chaos thrives in randomness.
• Keep the pets away during cleaning—unless you want a fur-coated wet floor.
• Communicate clearly—unless you want your precious action figurines organized by color instead of era.

Because, let’s face it, organizing my collectibles incorrectly is grounds for a household tribunal.

From One Perfectionist to Another: It’s Okay to Outsource

In my experience, acknowledging that you can’t do everything yourself is the first step to not turning into that guy who mutters to himself about robot vacuums taking over the world. And yes, I’ve been that guy. More than once.

So what if I tell you that hiring a house cleaning service doesn’t just save you time, but also keeps you from turning into a grumpy hermit? Plus, when your home looks good, you feel good—and when you feel good, you work better. It’s science, or something like that.
