I don't have a service do my house I have a regular girl come once a week. I pay her $400.00 a month so averages out to $100.00 a week but she does an awsome job and is so worth it. We have a great schedule and it works for me. Every other week she does a deep clean and off weeks she does just a regular clean. So this is what I get.

I have 4 bedrooms, 2 which are used and 1 is an office and one is a guest room doesn't need much. 2 full baths, kitchen, livingroom, family room and finished room down in the basement.

Every week:
Changes linens in bedrooms and washes them and puts them away.
Dusts
Mops
sweeps my area rugs
cleans the bathroom
cleans the kitchen
takes out all trash, washes all my trash cans
usually folds laundry that I forgot in the dryer and lays on beds.
Checks fridge and throws out questionable items. *note she does this because she knows me and knows it is ok.
Wipes down all glass and mirrors. *note I have 2 sets of glass french doors that have to be wiped down often due to finger prints.

Every other week same as above plus
Cleans oven
Pulls all the food out of fridge and cleans it inside and out.
Washes down cabinets in kitchen and bathroom
Cleans baseboards
Cleans window sills and around windows also wipes down windows.
runs a duster along the ceiling to make sure no cob webs.
Sweeps cellar stairs

I feel I get a great deal from her and I know I wouldn't be able to get the same service for the same price somewhere else. I have offered to give her more money because I feel it is worth it but she wont take it. I have used this girl for a few years so at the end of the year I give her a nice bonus around Christmas time and this works for both of us. I so love my cleaning lady. I am getting ready to move into a house that is bigger than the one I currently live in and asked her about new pricing for it and she said same price. Yay!
