[quote=Keowa;3027384]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.

Yah know, I am rarely jealous, but heck, color me green with envy on this one! In our former lives (smaller house, fewer kids, fewer bills) I could afford someone to come in and clean on a monthly basis. It was so glorious to be out for the day and come home to a house where all the rooms were spotless at the same time. Keowa, my hat is off to you. Gosh, if I had the service that you have, I don't even know what I would do with that spare time. Well, yes I do-pedicures, manicures, massages....lol....Mudpuppy, so sorry for what you are going through right now. I hope that you can get in on the free cleaning. I had a really tough time keeping my house clean when my son was sick. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for you to keep your house clean when you are the one going through treatment.
