I can bear filthiness to a certain point, but even I have my limits.

After a long winter of dog hair accumulation, bathroom grime, and a baby on the way, I needed help. So when the opportunity to get a Helpling.com cleaning person for an afternoon presented itself, I jumped.

I booked a standard cleaning package – 3 hours – of scrubbing, sweeping & vacuuming. All of which transpired while I went out for a leisurely lunch. The booking was quick & easy. I chose my package, entered my location, picked a date & time, and paid online (securely). Helpling did the rest. It’s a platform that connects pro independent cleaning providers with people like me – either for a one-time service or regular visits. They charge a flat rate of $25/hr, with no waiting around for quotes or hidden costs.

My Helpling Partner, Marina, showed up on-time and didn’t mess around – she transformed my godforsaken apartment into a sparkling idyll in just 3 hours. If you’re pressed for time or if you’d rather do anything else than spring clean this year, give yourself a present and get a Helpling Partner. Seriously.
