The Hidden Costs of DIY Cleaning: What Every Savannah Homeowner Should Know

Let's have a heart-to-heart about something we've all experienced – the real cost of DIY cleaning. While it might seem like you're saving money by handling all the cleaning yourself, there are some hidden expenses (both financial and personal) that might surprise you.

💰 The True Price Tag of DIY Cleaning:

• Cleaning Products Add Up Those trips to the store for various cleaners, tools, and supplies can quickly amount to $50-100 monthly. Between specialized cleaners for different surfaces, mops, vacuum bags, and those "miracle" products that caught your eye, the costs sneak up faster than kudzu on a summer fence!

  Time is Money, Y'all Let's break it down:

  The average Savannah home takes 4-6 hours to deep clean properly. That's half your precious Saturday! Ask yourself: What could you be doing instead?

  Enjoying Forsyth Park with your family

  Exploring River Street's weekend markets

  Actually relaxing on your day off

  Running your own business or side hustle

  The Physical Toll We often don't consider the physical strain of regular cleaning:

  Back strain from improper lifting

  Knee stress from floor scrubbing

  Exposure to harsh chemicals

  Fatigue from hours of physical labor

  Equipment Investment Quality cleaning equipment isn't cheap:

  A good vacuum: $200-400

  Steam mop: $80-150

  Carpet cleaner: $150-300

  Various tools and accessories: $100+

  The Cost of Mistakes Without professional knowledge, you might accidentally:

  Use the wrong products on expensive surfaces

  Damage delicate materials

  Miss areas that need special attention

  Create more work for yourself long-term
