Cleaning crew for rental property could be tax deductible, might be better to hire the cleaning for the rental property and clean your primary house yourself.

With these comments backing my decision I’m leaning more and more towards the deep clean. Now I just have to call a few companies and scope out the cost.

I think the cleaning crew is a great idea, and worth every penny.

I would also be cleaning that other place more thoroughly because guests stay in it…maybe it’s a southern thing, but my mom always cleans the house from top to bottom when people are staying over–even if she just cleaned everything the week before, she’ll do it again. I catch myself doing the same thing–it’s like showing respect for other people or something–maybe something about hospitality…?

I also clean before I go on vacation. I used to go out in the field for work for weeks at a time, and I was careful to tidy up before I left…because walking into a clean, neat place after traveling? …ahhhh, it feels so good!

Hey OFG - I fully and completely support hiring a cleaning crew twice a year to do a deep clean.

Generally speaking, a reputable service trains their cleaners extremely well to get all those weird places you and I might miss.

Add in the fact that they are equipped with the best tools of the business and... well, that's one clean home.

I hire a crew everytime I switch apartments and it's so worth the two hours I pay for.
