Whether a cleaning service is worth it comes down to a trade most people never sit down and actually make: what is your time worth, and what does a consistently clean home do for the rest of your week? Start with the hours. A thorough clean of an average home takes several hours, and that assumes you own the supplies and know what you are doing. Do that every week or two and you are handing over a real piece of your weekend, indefinitely. Paying someone buys those hours back.
