Spend More Time with Your Kids by Outsourcing Tedious Chores -

Written by Staff Writer | Dec 27, 2017 1:29:12 PM

With a long work week and the numerous chores that you need to do at home, it can sometimes be hard to find enough time to spend with your kids or friends.

In ServiceSeeking.com.au’s recent survey, around 29% think that they don’t spend enough time with their children. Meanwhile, about 58% think that they don’t hang out with their friends that much.

Setting aside time for your friends and family, however, would mean giving up one of the things that take up most of your time. Of course, you can’t just drop your work; this isn’t an option for most people. What you can do, though, is to free up your time by outsourcing the most annoying jobs you have around the house.

Oven and Barbecue Cleaning

If you fail to clean your oven and barbecue regularly, gunk will likely build up over time. It’s definitely hard to scrape the grime off, but this tiresome task should be done. Otherwise, you’ll start smelling a funky odour every time you heat up your oven. Cooking won’t be much fun anymore. 

Bathroom and Toilet Cleaning

Scrubbing toilets? Cleaning pesky mould and mildew? Bathroom cleaning can even be more frustrating if you have white tiles that easily show the tiniest speck of dirt. Sometimes, no matter how hard you scrub those tiles, your effort doesn’t just seem to be enough. Apart from the toilet and tiled floors and walls, you also have to get rid of the hairs that get stuck on your drain.

Dusting

This chore is very troublesome, especially if you’re allergic to dust. You should prepare yourself for some non-stop sneezing, which can actually be counterproductive. Instead of being able to focus on doing the task efficiently, you have to consider your condition as well.

Ironing

You have just washed your clothes, and now you have to press them. While it’s undeniable that clothes without wrinkles look good, ironing jeans, dresses, and shirts after spending a couple of hours washing them seems to be too much. Who wants additional chores anyway?

Garden Cleanups

Gardening sounds fun; garden cleanups, not so much. Raking off leaves, weeding, and pruning can delay the more enjoyable parts of gardening. Leave those out for someone else to do so you can focus on plant and flower selection and the actual gardening and planting.

No matter the task, you can rest easy knowing you can find the right person at ServiceSeeking.com.au to help you.
