Top Myths About Hiring a Cleaning Service (and the Truth)
If you’ve ever hesitated to hire a cleaning company, you’re not alone.
We speak with Calgary homeowners all the time who say things like:
“I should be able to do it myself.”
“It’s probably too expensive.”
“I don’t know who to trust.”
The truth is, many of these beliefs are rooted in outdated ideas about what hiring a cleaner means.
Let’s clear the air — literally and figuratively — by busting the most common myths about professional cleaning.
Myth 1: “It’s Too Expensive”
Truth: Professional cleaning can be more affordable than you think — especially when you factor in the time, energy, and supplies you’d spend doing it yourself.
At Velanna Home, we offer flexible pricing, transparent estimates, and packages ranging from on-demand deep cleans to recurring maintenance.
Plus, we believe that time is your most valuable resource — and you deserve to protect it.
Myth 2: “My Home Needs to Be Dirty Enough First”
Truth: You don’t need a disaster to justify support.
We often clean homes that are already tidy, but our clients want:
- A fresh start
- A white-glove level of clean
- Help maintaining order in a busy life
You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed. You can simply choose ease.
Myth 3: “It Feels Lazy — I Should Just Do It Myself”
Truth: Delegating cleaning is not about laziness. It’s about priorities.
Would you cut your own hair before an event? Change your car’s oil on your lunch break? Probably not.
Professional cleaning is the same — an expert task handled by trained pros, freeing you up for everything else that matters.
Myth 4: “Strangers in My Home Makes Me Uncomfortable”
Truth: Trust is everything — and we take it seriously.
That’s why every Velanna cleaner is:
- Vetted and background-checked
- Insured and bonded
- Trained to respect your space, privacy, and routines
- Guided by our White-Glove Standard™
You’ll always know who’s coming and what to expect.
Myth 5: “They’ll Just Use Harsh Chemicals I Don’t Like”
Truth: Not at Velanna Home.
We use:
- Scent-free, plant-based cleaning products
- HEPA vacuums for cleaner air
- Steam and gentle scrubs, not toxic sprays
You care about what’s in your home. So do we.
Myth 6: “It’s Only Worth It for Big Houses”
Truth: We clean everything from downtown condos to large family homes.
It’s not about size — it’s about what you need:
- A deep clean after a renovation
- A monthly reset to stay ahead of mess
- Selective kitchen or bathroom refreshes
- Airbnb turnover you don’t have to micromanage
