I think me paying the first time was the key to get them over their hesitation. I don’t think it is rude to be honest and offer help if it is done properly.
I do too but I'll bet your parents care enough about your allergies to do something that would involve having a stranger come into their home and do work around their personal possessions. My MIL allowed it only because it was my long-time vetted cleaner whom she had witnessed in action while at our home. Telling your parents to get a cleaner and you'll pay for it does not get them over that fear of things being taken or damaged.
