As busy true crime podcasters covering so many cases, we have to make a pretty strenuous effort to clean our house at the end of the day — that’s frankly time we could spend unwinding and relaxing after a day spent in court or on the phone wrangling FOIA records.
That’s why we find our wonderful new sponsor Homeaglow so amazing. Homeaglow is a top-rated home service platform. They’re all about making your space clean and tidy. Say you’ve got a special occasion or party coming up. Their online booking capabilities ensure you can hop on there, schedule a cleaner in an instant. They’re affordable, convenient, and sometimes so necessary for beating the stress around house cleaning.
Then there’s one less thing for you to have to manage. It’s peace of mind. Because you know you’re getting a cleaner who’s passed a rigorous certification process — these cleaners all have to maintain a 4.8 star average. Oh, and 100% of all the cleaning fees and tips you pay go directly to your cleaner. You’ll be supporting workers in your community.
Here’s how it works. You hop on Homeaglow’s website. You lock down a date and time, and duration of the cleaner. Then you match with a cleaner. It’s great for those last-minute tidying sessions before a big event or your friends stopping by. But you can also book in advance just to get that squared away. Homeaglow provides you with reviews and pictures for each of your background-checked cleaners.
Then if you’re looking to save money and start up a long-term relationship, opting for a ForeverClean Membership lets you save $30 an hour on all future cleanings. You can book unlimited cleanings starting at $19 an hour, to ensure your house gets clean and stays clean.
For those of us who are busy with life — work, side hustles, kids, volunteering, Homeaglow is a godsend. It’s a service that meets you where you are, and can help you declutter, clean, and maintain a home you are truly proud of.
