Hire a housekeeper for your autumn deep clean

  • Publish Date: Posted 3 days ago

​Hire a housekeeper for your autumn deep clean​

We’ve all heard of the power of a good spring clean, but did you know that an autumn deep clean is just as important? As temperatures drop and we prepare to spend more time indoors, now is the perfect opportunity to refresh your home before winter. With the help of a professional housekeeper, not only will your home be spotless, but you’ll also create a healthier environment by removing allergens, dust mites, and bacteria that tend to thrive in the colder months.

If, so far, you’ve been handling all the cleaning tasks yourself, consider this: hiring a housekeeper could be one of the best ways to give yourself or a loved one the gift of time this Christmas. Imagine walking into your pristine home without lifting a finger — it’s truly a luxury that allows you more time with your family, or to enjoy the festivities without worry.

Available Candidates:

What are housekeeper duties?

Here are 5 ways a housekeeper could assist in your autumn deep clean.

1. Housekeepers are methodical

A professional housekeeper knows that a deep clean can feel overwhelming if not properly planned. By hiring a housekeeper, they will create a methodical approach to tackle one room at a time. This strategy ensures no corner is overlooked, and you can witness the transformation unfold room by room.

2. Housekeepers help organise

Decluttering is essential for an effective deep clean. A housekeeper can assist with organising, ensuring that unnecessary items are removed and your space is ready for a thorough cleaning. This is especially helpful when you want to pack away summer clothes and gear up for the colder season. Imagine giving the gift of an organised, clutter-free home this Christmas by hiring a housekeeper for your loved ones!

3. Housekeepers come prepared

When it comes to tackling a deep clean, housekeepers gather all the cleaning products necessary for the job, moving efficiently from room to room. With professional housekeepers from Greycoat Lumleys, you can rest assured they will use the right tools and products to ensure a thorough, safe clean.

4. Housekeepers will do deep cleaning like carpet cleaning

Even if your carpets look clean, they can harbor a surprising amount of dirt, bacteria, and allergens. A housekeeper can go beyond surface vacuuming by using steam cleaners or carpet shampoos to deeply clean carpets and upholstery. They will also clean under furniture and reach areas that are often forgotten during regular cleaning.

5. Housekeepers clean where you might not

Housekeepers don’t just stop at vacuuming or dusting; they tackle often-overlooked areas like your bed and sofa. For example, pillows, duvets, and mattresses should be cleaned regularly, and a professional housekeeper will ensure these tasks are handled. The same applies to your sofa—cushions are washed, and the crevices are vacuumed, ensuring no crumbs or dirt are left behind.

Luxury gift idea: hire a housekeeper for the holidays

Now that autumn is here, surprising as it may seem, Christmas is really just around the corner. As we approach the holiday season, finding thoughtful and practical gifts can be a challenge. This year, why not go beyond the usual Christmas gifts for mom or other loved ones by offering something truly meaningful: the gift of time. Hiring a housekeeper is the perfect luxury gift idea, allowing your loved ones to enjoy a beautifully clean home without the stress of managing it themselves.

Whether it's for a busy parent, someone who struggles to keep up with household chores, or anyone deserving of some extra time, a professional housekeeper can be the perfect solution. Here’s why:

  1. Give the gift of a clean home: A housekeeper can handle all the deep-cleaning tasks that usually pile up over the holidays—everything from scrubbing the oven to cleaning carpets, leaving your loved one with a pristine home to enjoy. They also mean you’re less likely to end up needing a deep Spring Clean or Autumn Clean, given they’ve been taking care of your house, daily, throughout the year.

  2. Give the gift of time: More than just a clean home, hiring a housekeeper frees up precious time. Whether your loved one uses that time to relax, focus on hobbies, or spend it with family, this is a gift that provides real value.

If you’re looking for romantic presents for your wife, or husband, this is the ultimate luxury gift idea that will be remembered long after the holiday season. Contact us to discuss your gift ideas or for an informal conversation.
