Pennie Overalls' Cleaning Service

I was really hesitant to hire a cleaning company. I felt guilty about spending money on something I had always done myself and it seemed to me like a luxury that only someone who didn't know how to properly budget their time would indulge themselves in. At the same time, I was weekly having a breakdown about how much there was to do in terms of chores and how it was keeping me from being able to enjoy time with my son in the few hours I got to share with him after work and before his bedtime. Hiring a cleaning company became the clear solution and I was so happy to find Pennie Overalls From my first meeting with Shea, the owner, she not only provided a thorough assessment of the services I potentially needed (and offered multiple flexible options for my budget), she also totally assuaged my anxieties about becoming a person who outsourced my chore load. It was really quite cathartic and meeting her in person made me trust her instantly with the care of my home. We get six rooms cleaned top to bottom, plus the hallway stairs vacuumed every other week and it only costs about $130. This is absolutely worth the time it saves and sanity it provides. I love that it's a woman-owned local business and that they use eco-friendly products that do not give off an offensive smell. At the end of every cleaning, the team also takes out my recycling, trash, and compost so I come home to empty bins and there's not dust film left behind from their vacuuming. Once deep cleaning is done, maintenance cleaning that we do ourselves between service weeks is MUCH easier. I've noticed a huge difference in the amount of dust/hair that builds up in corners, along floorboards and under furniture in our 100-year-old house which is heated via forced air and is home to two shedding cats. Every so often the team does some bonus organizing like cleaning out my little basket of junk and medicines and remote controls we keep on the kitchen worktop. Or wiping out all the drawers and shelves in the fridge - I really love that! Shea is very personable and takes the time to reach out and show her appreciation for her clients. She is very responsive via text which is helpful for me since I am often working or driving and can't always answer the phone. She makes it very convenient to pay bills via PayPal, too! Overall, I would highly recommend Pennie Overalls' services to anyone looking to lighten their load and have more time to relax in a cleaner, healthier home.
