Today in our fast moving world many of us are having trouble trying to keep up; we are often looking for ways to leverage our time. People use various devices and services to try and help in all sorts of ways. It is not unusual for a household to use an ironing service and a dry cleaning service. Many people now have their food shopping delivered, People order many other household products online, such as clothes, DVD�s, and books and have them delivered.
When we consider the huge amount of people involved in working for us, doing jobs that 100 years ago we would have done for ourselves it is astounding. We have people make our clothes, grow our food, do our ironing, deliver our shopping, paint our houses, clean our windows, mow our lawn and wash our car. Despite all of these people laboring for our benefit, sometimes we can still feel a little awkward about having our domestic cleaning done by somebody else.
One in Twenty households employs a domestic cleaning service. Spending on domestic cleaning services more than doubled between May 2000 and May 2007. The increase in two income households means that more people are prepared to outsource their domestic cleaning duties. But is hiring someone else to clean up after you ethical?
Women are busy! Especially when having to go to work and keep the house clean. But does that make it OK to hire people to clean up you�re mess? Should you feel guilty about paying a domestic cleaning service? Because you can't be bothered to make time to clean yourself.
People overdo the moral virtue thing when it comes to domestic cleaning. People delude themselves into thinking they are the only people who should clean their home. I think there is little difference between the labor that goes into cleaning and the labor that creates a meal in a restaurant.
People hiring a domestic cleaning agency are typically time poor. People generally don�t want to spend four hours on a Saturday morning cleaning their home, they would much rather be relaxing, taking a walk or spending time with their family.
Many cleaner also relax with their families on a Saturday, They do not blame their employers for wanting to do the same. Many cleaners also choose that particular career because they want a flexible occupation that fits around the school run, or because they want certain days or times to work, that normal employment would not allow.
When you consider that cleaners working for agency�s can often pick their own customers and work days, they pick the hours of their choice and are often working for themselves without a supervisor peering over their shoulders. Domestic cleaning jobs are far more desirable than many of the retail jobs available in the High Street today.
I am afraid I see no shame in hiring a cleaner to help with domestic chores; you are providing employment to somebody who wants that kind of job. Meanwhile you are focusing on working using your particular skill set.
If all women quit their jobs tomorrow to clean their own homes, thousands of semi skilled cleaners would be out of work, and a huge amount of the talent that is keeping this country ticking over would be wasted on cleaning floors.
You do you�re job, and let those who have chosen to clean do theirs.
