How a Cleaning Service Saved My Holiday (And My Sanity)

OK, so. I’m not a messy person. Really. But living on the windward side of O’ahu means two things: 1) the humidity is relentless (like, my hair has given up entirely), and 2) sand. Everywhere. Always. No matter how many times I sweep the lanai, it’s like the beach personally delivers a fresh layer daily.

And now? I’m hosting the family holiday. Not just my immediate family, but aunts, uncles, cousins—the whole crew flying in from the mainland. Which, don’t get me wrong, I’m stoked about. But also? Ugh. My house is not ready.

I mean, I tried. I really did. But between work, dodging H-1 traffic to get to Honolulu for last-minute gifts (Ala Moana was a zoo, BTW), and that one disastrous attempt to make haupia from scratch (RIP my kitchen counter), cleaning fell by the wayside. Hard.

Then, panic. Three days before the big event, I’m staring at my living room, and it hits me: There is no way. The dust bunnies under the couch have formed a small civilization. The fridge smells… suspicious. And don’t even get me started on the guest bathroom. (Why do mildew and tile grout have such a toxic relationship?!)

So yeah. I caved. Googled “house cleaning cost calculator” while stress-eating a bag of li hing mui gummy bears (don’t judge). And you know what? It wasn’t even that bad. Like, way cheaper than therapy. Or a last-minute Airbnb for my judgy aunt.

The day the cleaners came? Magic. I swear, I almost cried. Watching someone else scrub the shower glass (that I’d ignored for… a while) was deeply satisfying. And the smell? Not Pine-Sol, but something light, like citrus and salt air. Like they bottled the essence of a breezy Lanikai morning.

(Also, side note: Why does my own mop water never smell like that? Am I doing it wrong? Is there a secret?)

My favorite part, though? The details. The way they folded the throw blankets on the couch into perfect triangles, like at a resort. How the koa wood table actually gleamed for the first time since I bought it. And the floors? Squeaky. No more mysterious sticky spots by the fridge.

My sister called mid-clean, and I was like, “Dude, I get it now. This is what adulting is supposed to feel like.” She laughed and said, “Took you long enough.” (Rude.)

But here’s the thing—it wasn’t just about the clean house. It was the weight off my shoulders. Literally. Like I’d been carrying a backpack full of rocks and didn’t even notice until it was gone. I could breathe. Focus on the fun stuff—like stocking up on poke from Foodland and hiding my nice towels before the keiki got here.

And when everyone arrived? No one said, “Wow, your house is so clean!” (Which, honestly, would’ve been weird.) But I knew. And that was enough.

So yeah. Maybe I’ll never be the kind of person who alphabetizes her spice rack. But now? I get why people swear by this. It’s not just about the cleaning. It’s about giving yourself space to enjoy the things that actually matter.

Like watching the sunset over the Ko’olaus with a cold drink in hand—sand on the floor and all.
