How Cleaning Services Can Make WFH Easier (And Seven of the Best Ones You Can Hire in Manila)

I once read a study about how happiness actually boils down to paying people to do stuff for you. It’s mind blowingly simple, isn’t it? I mean, who among us wouldn’t do that if we could afford it, right?

Heck, in a way, we remote workers are proof of that. Thanks to the currency exchange rates, foreign clients can hire us to do everything from booking their restaurant reservations to processing the payroll for their businesses. Wild.

How Paying Someone to Do Your Chores Can Make You a Better Remote Worker

Seriously, though, there are benefits to outsourcing essential chores that don’t really help you get closer to your goals. For starters, doing so frees up your time. Rather than spending the morning mopping the floor, you could pitch to additional clients or take a course that will boost your skills (and your going rate) if someone else is doing the cleaning.

Secondly, it’s better for your mental health. Contrary to popular belief, achieving a healthy work-life balance is more difficult when you work from home. It’s hard to maintain structure when you’re manning social media pages one moment and then washing dishes the next. In contrast, subcontracting the latter helps you retain your boundaries and focus better on what you do best.

Lastly, even if you can do your chores AND your WFH duties simultaneously, you probably won’t have the energy or the inclination to spend time with your loved ones afterwards. And isn’t that one of the reasons why you opted for remote work in the first place?

Professional Cleaning Services At Your Fingertips

Fortunately, there is no shortage of affordable cleaning services in Manila. The following are just a handful of the ones you can call when you need an extra set of hands.

  1. Busy Bee Cleaning Co.
  2. Their deep house cleaning services cover houses, condominiums, apartments and commercial spaces. These include floor vacuuming and sweeping, bathroom sanitation, mattress and sheet vacuuming, and air purification. Clients usually rave about how good their spaces smell afterwards too!

    Furthemore, Busy Bee also specializes in post-construction intensive cleaning. So, if you’ve managed to get a steady WFH gig that pays well and have bought your dream apartment or house, this will come in handy.

     

    Rates: These depend on the service. You may request a quote.

    Contact Information: 0917 174-8158

  3. Clean Queens.
  4. Do you need someone to do a bit of maintenance work for your air conditioner? How about a maid who’ll sweep your floors, dust your house, and iron your clothes for the day? Clean Queens can provide all those services for you and then some.

     

    Rates: These depend on the service. You may request a quote.

    Contact Information: 0956 372 3618

  5. Cleaning Lady Ph.
  6. When you book with Cleaning Lady PH, you won’t just be availing of a clean, spotless house. You’ll also be doing a good deed. Why? This cleaning service just happens to provide employment to TESDA-trained yet jobless women from Gawad Kalinga communities.

    Best of all, Cleaning Lady PH’s cleaners are known for their exceptional work ethic and warm disposition.

     

    Rates: Php350 upwards for condos and Php2000 upwards for apartments and houses

    Contact Information: 0917 625 9784

  7. Happy Helpers.
  8. Whether you need post-construction cleaning, move-in and move-out cleaning, or deep cleaning, Happy Helpers’s friendly staff have got your back. You can even schedule regular cleaning sessions if you’re happy with their services, giving you one less thing to think about.

     

    Rates: Services start at Php1,400.

    Contact Information: 0918 450 0024

  9. Manila Maid.
  10. Like Happy Helpers, Manila Maid also offers a cleaning subscription service. This allows clients to book their cleaners regularly (i.e., weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) ahead of time.

    WFH warriors in Makati, BGC, Taguig, Mandaluyong, Malate, and Pasay are especially suited for this service.

     

    Rates: Services start at Php700.

    Contact Information: ‎0927 727 6803

  11. The Nanny Ph.
  12. True to form, this reliable cleaning service doesn’t just cater to homes, condos, and offices. They also offer an eight-hour nanny service where you can get someone to do your chores within that time period. These include grocery shopping, paying your bills, picking up your laundry, and other such errands.

     

    Rates: Services start at Php500.

    Contact Information: 0945 458 7279

  13. Rainbow Cleaners.
  14. Not only are Rainbow Cleaners’ housekeepers TESDA-certified, but their hydro vacuum machines can also apparently reduce 99.97% of indoor dust.

    Some of their other cleaning services include:

    • General cleaning

    • Tenancy cleaning (ideal for landlords with tenants are moving in)

    • Housekeeping (a three-hour maid service that you can avail daily or monthly)

    • Post-construction cleaning

    • Upholstery shampoo (great for sofas, carpets, or office chairs)

     

    Rates: Services start at Php45/sqm.

    Contact Information: 0917 584 4564

 

It’s every employer’s responsibility to provide their employees with a safe and secure working environment. When you work from home, that becomes your responsibility to yourself too. So, don’t be shy about asking for help from time to time.
