Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google âMotherâs Day gifts,â and youâll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes itâs fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Hereâs one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. Itâs the perfect âthank you,â âI love youâ or âyouâve got thisâ for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
Plus, when you buy a gift certificate from Well-Paid Maids, youâre supporting a living-wage cleaning company. That means cleaners get paid a starting wage of $24 an hour and get access to benefits, like 24 days of PTO and health insurance.
