Higher resale value when you sell your home, because everything has been kept in good shape, with minimal wear and tear.
A cleaner home saves money. You don’t have to replace furnishing, carpeting, etc. as often because you take good care of it.
This reason for cleaning your house actually has several parts to it. It improves your family’s health and safety in the following ways:
Fewer accidents, because there is less tripping over clutter or slipping on spills;
Breathe fresher air, without as much dust (and if you use homemade cleaners less chemical fumes too);
Disinfecting surfaces and removing germs and pathogens lessens illnesses for your family;
Being able to cook at home because your kitchen is clean allows you to cook healthier food than eating out (and saves you money too!).
How to Professionally Clean a Home
You have decided you want to start a house cleaning business and clean homes professionally. Cleaning your own home and cleaning someone else’s home professionally is a whole different ballgame.
You have to be very thorough when cleaning professionally. Clients are paying you for a luxury service and they expect and deserve top notch cleaning. It takes quite awhile to learn how to clean a home professionally.
The best thing to do when starting out is ask some friends and family members if you can clean their homes for free or at a discounted rate. I know the thought of cleaning for free is not appealing but you will not only gain much needed experience but you will get some good testimonials and references (which you will need when you obtain those first clients).
When first starting out don’t worry about how long it takes to clean a home. Always do an initial thorough cleaning on the first cleaning. After you have been cleaning for awhile you will become more efficient and will be able to do a through cleaning in a lot less time.

Your Cabinets
Over time, build-up can collect on your kitchen cabinets — especially if you don’t run the exhaust hood over your range while you cook to keep grease from settling. To remove, use Parker & Bailey Kitchen Cabinet Cream to cut through the dirt and leave wood moisturized.
Your Windows
Instead of just wiping down the inside, make sure you take to the outdoors with Hope’s Perfect Glass Cleaner during spring cleaning season to remove spots and smudges you don’t usually have time to tackle. Pro tip? Wash them on a cloudy day to ensure that the sun won’t dry the cleanser before you’re done wiping
Your Countertops
The first step to preventing granite stains: Seal your countertops as soon as they’re installed, says kitchen designer Florence Perchuk. You’ll know they’re sealed properly when water beads and forms droplets on the surface. To maintain, have them sealed again a year later and make sure you wipe up accidental spills as soon as they happen.
