Although with many Canadians' hectic lifestyles, finding the time is often challenging. That’s when it might be time to hire a cleaner. But how do you know if you can afford one?
Let’s start with figuring out how much it will cost. There are a few main ways to hire a cleaner in Canada; some will be much different in price than others.This is where you can hire someone on platforms such as Kijiji, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace. The main advantage of this is that it will be a lot cheaper. Depending on where you live, you can find people as cheap as $15 - $30 an hour. There are a few disadvantages of this, though.
You don’t have to be wealthy to hire a cleaner; it just has to fit into your overall financial strategy. There’s no magical income level where it’s OK to hire a cleaner. Having a cleaner will have a different value for every person. Carefully assess how badly you want a cleaner and see if it fits within your budget.
