Recurring house cleaning services.
I'd probably be divorced by now if we hadn't made the investment. It doesn't cost as much you think and whatever it costs the mental health and couples benefits of a clean home is worth the investment.
I’ve thought about this but always get turned off at the thought of strangers in my little messy 1 bedroom apartment.
Any tips for finding a good one or additional points to help me make the plunge?
They've likely seen a LOT worse. Just remember the difference between a maid and a cleaner. A maid clears up the mess, a cleaner cleans the place. If your getting a cleaner, you'll need to make some effort to get the mess out of their way.
I've also found that's a useful effect. If you've someone coming in to clean every week or two, then you have a deadline and motivation to do your tidying. I don't want to pay a cleaner to waste time shuffling around my clutter.
