Cleaning Service

[2planka]

Anyone use a cleaning service?

I've been traveling for work a lot and the Warden is in grad school two nights per week. We're behind on the housework. I suggested that we look into hiring a cleaning service to come in once or twice a month. The Warden got upset, thinking that I was picking on her.

What to do? Pretty sure we can afford it (though I don't know how much it actually costs), and it would save us some time. Any of you know how much it costs and how frequently they show up?

twice a month for general cleaning should run around $50-$75. More for additional cleaning/stuff like bathtubs, etc.

Check your local junk mail/coupon booklet. They have a lot of good deals in there.

Funny you bring this up, my wife and I are contemplating doing the same thing. Mainly because we are lazy and can afford to.

I have one. I also have a 2 bedroom apt. Though. They come every 2 weeks and do a damn good job too.I mean top to bottom, They even move the fridge can clean under it.

It cost me 55$ per visit. Which I split with my roomate [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

This is well worth it.

$55 a trip every other Thursday. General cleaning, no laundry.

Must be lucky down here in the Atl burbs.

For them to basically spring clean your house it's only $100.

I've been thinking of doing the same. Anyone happen to have any recommendations for a service in west l.a.?

I can't believe your wife got upset. It is money well spent if you can find somebody good. Tell her not to worry, there is still cleaning to do. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

By "cleaning", are they picking stuff up and organizing, or are they dusting/washing, or both?

Not entirely sure, but I think she took the suggestion as an insult to her "womanhood." Either that or she thought I was picking on her for not cleaning her bathroom (mine is spotless, by the way).

I basically want someone to come in twice a month and wash the floors and dust the surfaces. We have hardwoods throughout so sweeping up isn't a big deal, but I loathe pushing a mop. Especially this time of year, the floors are dulled by road salt, dirt, and water. I want these floors shiny!

I would hope they're just cleaning, not organizing or picking up. Where I put my stuff is my business.
