Basic cleaning DIY service
Here are 5 simple steps to keep your home spotless at all times. Never worry about your home getting too messy and feeling overwhelmed with all the cleaning at your house.
It's not necessary to waste money on a service that you can do yourself, especially if you don't have a lot of money. Most people like their homes cleaned and they also have certain things in their homes that they want cleaned at all times.
One of my clients has a special glass shelve where she puts all her special memories stuff and every time we go to her house even though we miss everything but that special place she always wants it spotless.
Even though I don't believe in that, they always say that "time is money". I don't think you can compare time to money, because some people have their gold time worth $100000 per hour while some people work $50000 per year.
It's like some people's time is more precious than others
