Re: OK mommies, have any of you had a cleaning service come in...
sorry I dont know what happened to the rest of my post. I am looking for someone to come in to just really give the house a good cleaning. I clean during the week, but now that I am back at work, running around after a 20 month old, and preggo with #2 I just dont do such a good job. I want someone to scrub. I was looking at merry maids. Has anyone ever used them? I am not going to use them on a regular basis but definitely once at the end of the month and then prob again in Jan after the holidays before the next baby comes.
How much does something like this cost?

I use someone every other week, but they do one time cleanings as well. I think it is about $75 an hour and it takes about 4 hours to clean the whole house but they dust every knick knack picture frame. When they leave there is not one speck of dust. They are in Nassau County.

Wow! $75 per HOUR! And I thought I was paying alot! That is alot!
I have someone come once a month. I pay her $100 every time she comes regardless of how long she stays - but, she is always running out the door in about 4 hours. I'm trying to find someone else if any one has any suggestions.

That is only the first time- it is less than that every other week. There are 3 people.

Re: OK mommies, have any of you had a cleaning service come in...
I pay $85 per cleaning every other week for a 2BR, 1B 1200 sf condo. It is typically $75 for that size but we have 2 cats so they charge us $10 more. :P
It takes about 2-3 hours and 3 ladies usually show up.
$75/per hour is alot!

Re: OK mommies, have any of you had a cleaning service come in...
i just hired a cleaning service because i just couldn't do it myself anymore, with a full time job and a toddler and 3 dogs.
they are charging me 110 bucks every other week for an 1800 square foot house in north carolina. i'm wondering now if that's too much?

I called Merry Maids for an estimate before DH & I moved into our new home. I wanted one GOOD professional scrubing before we moved in. Their price was and then almost everything was extra - the fridge, the inside of the oven, the inside of the cabinets, windows.
I got some recommendations from the home board and friends, and got estimates, and used someone that was IMO reasonable. She didn't speak english though, so there was an issue with communication and having to get other people to talk to her for me.
