Mom’s Guide to finding mental peace: Why Hiring a Cleaning Company Is More Than Just a Luxury

So being a mom is already a full-time job, but then we have to account for the other full-time jobs you might have. In between taking care of the kiddos, managing the household, full-time actual job - plus attempting to maintain some form of self-care, it often feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to handle everything. Yet, society tells us that we should be able to do it all: cook, clean, do laundry (and put it away), and caring for our relationships.

The reality? It’s exhausting.

Many of us moms do not realize how much mental and emotional energy goes into keeping up with this never-ending cycle of cleaning and the household chores. The dishes pile up, the laundry basket keeps growing, and the floors seem to be covered in all sort of food no matter how many times you sweep and mop - the floor is always sticky! It’s overwhelming and yet, so many moms feel guilty even considering asking for help.

The Mental Load of Motherhood (it’s real)

Cleaning is more than just a physical task—it’s a mental burden for most moms. Moms aren’t just scrubbing counters and folding clothes; they’re constantly thinking (with many tabs open in the brain) :

• When was the last time the sheets were changed?

• Do we have clean uniforms for tomorrow?

• Is there enough detergent for another load?

• How did the house get so messy in just a few minutes?

• When will I have time to clean these bathrooms?

This never-ending to-do list runs through your mind every single day. And when everything start to pile up (literally and figuratively), the stress builds, leading to burnout, frustration, and sometimes even resentment leading to arguments with your partner and the overwhelming feeling when the kids ask for anything.

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone (Seriously)

Here’s the thing: asking for help doesn’t mean you’re failing as a mom! It means you’re prioritizing your mental health, your family, and most important well-being. Hiring a professional cleaning service isn’t a luxury (as thought before)—it’s a way to reclaim your time and energy for the things that truly matter and keeping your relationships healthy and less yelling for the kids.

Imagine coming home to a clean house, fresh laundry and put away and made beds without you having to do it. Truly a moms Christmas dream come true! Imagine to have extra time to play with your kids, enjoy a quiet cup of coffee, or even just sit down and breathe without feeling guilty about the mess around you. That’s what a cleaning service can give you.

Let Go of the Guilt—You Deserve This (for real)

As moms we often put themselves last on the priority list, but you can’t pour from an empty cup (trust me been there done that). A clean home isn’t just about appearances—it’s about mental clarity, peace of mind, and reducing the overwhelming stress that comes with juggling it all at all times of the day.

Understanding that you need the help doesn’t mean that you aren’t doing great, but honestly we can’t continue to juggle everything without feeling lost and tired always. After I decided that I needed help my personal relationships got better. I stopped arguing about the trash not being taken out, or the dishes not done - and our biggest issue was the laundry! Who does laundry and puts it away the same day?! You folks that can do that are super heroes, because in my house we all pulled that clean laundry right our of the drier!

We went from a monthly cleaning service when my oldest was born, to twice a week because I was back to back working my full time, and handling baby duties plus don’t forget the animals (a husky - that sheds 24/7 and an Australian shepherd) it was too much on my plate. So when the second baby was born everything switched to once a week. Now, I don’t expect anyone to have someone weekly but this is what works for me personally.

I’ll tell you, I have a full time job that I work midnights, both my kids go to school and that’s a good thing because that my time to sleep, but to add to this I run a full time business, one of my kids goes to dance and baseball (that is a Monday-Thursday after school activities which I am the chauffeur) plus cooking dinner and meal prepping, I should work out to not look flabby and yet I’m supposed to be cleaning and doing laundry? Nope. I throw the towel on this one for sure.

So, if you’ve been feeling like you’re drowning in housework, it’s time to give yourself a break. Do what I did, I let go of the I do it all stereotype and I got some help. Trust me on this one - you will be in a much better state of mind when you get the help!
