I Love to Clean—but When I Can’t Do It Myself, This Is the Home Cleaning Service I Trust

I love cleaning—no really, I do! Dusting and scrubbing my way around the apartment is one of my favorite ways to relieve stress, and I adore the feeling of a kicking back in a freshly-cleaned home. However, I also have admittedly high standards for cleanliness. So, when life gets busy and I'm not able to devote the necessary time it takes to really make my home sparkle, I know I need to call in the A-team.

That's where Homeaglow comes in. It's a cleaning service that matches you with professional cleaners in your area after just a few simple online steps. Whether you're looking to pass off your least-favorite task to someone else or are hoping to find a trustworthy pro to tidy up in your stead, you'll wan to read on to learn how easy it is to book a home cleaning with Homeaglow.

How does Homeaglow work?

Booking an appointment on the Homeaglow website is a breeze. First, you pop in your basic information like your area code, street address, and email address. From there, you can select whether you'd prefer a Standard Cleaner (all are experienced, vetted, and background checked) or a Premium Cleaner (those who are highly-rated by other customers) which costs an additional $20 per cleaning.

Then, you'll select how many hours you'd like to book for. Not sure how long it would take someone else to clean your space? I wasn't either! Luckily, Homeaglow has a handy reference chart that suggests a duration based on your home size.

Lastly, you'll select your preferred date and timeframe. If you're hoping to match with a specific cleaner, it's best to throw out a few options that jibe with your schedule so you can work with their availability.

What's included in your Homeaglow cleaning?

Regardless of which Homeaglow cleaner you're matched with, you can expect the following services:

• Organizing, dusting, and vacuuming in every room of your home
• Making beds and folding laundry
• Full bathroom cleaning, including toilets, showers, sinks, and mirrors
• A thorough kitchen cleaning, including wiping appliance exteriors, cleaning the microwave, and doing any dishes

Homeaglow cleaners come prepared with their own supplies, but you can also update your user profile to share a list of cleaning solutions and tools you'll have available. For example, I have a vacuum in my home—that's one less item for the cleaner to schlep over. I don't own a mop, though, so a cleaner bringing one of their own is extremely helpful!

You can also choose to tag on Premium services, like washing windows, baseboards, and cabinets, or doing the laundry. Each added service adds an additional hour to your cleaning, and rates vary by cleaner.

What's not included

Before you book, you should know that there are a few (heavy lift) tasks that Homeaglow cleaners won't handle. If you're looking for someone to clean out mold, clean your carpets, remove deep stains, clean up pet messes, clean the blinds, or do any outdoor work, you'll have to look elsewhere.

The takeaway

If you don't have time to clean your home but have super high standards for cleanliness ::raises hand::, check out Homeaglow. Getting started is easy and the brand's network of cleaners are total pros. Best of all, while the price varies by cleaner and the tasks you're asking them to complete, the average cost of a Homeaglow cleaning is less than a lot of home cleaning services. And the feeling of walking into a freshly cleaned home? That's priceless.
