There's one around here called "Maid to Order". It's probably not what some people think.
Well, the good thing is that “Bambi” and I are now in a relationship. Lol

I hired this cleaning service called “Hot Maids”.
Uh, I guess I misunderstood.
Rather than hiring a cleaning service, why not have a good, long talk with the person who is making the mess?
Yes. The penalty for such a faux pas is harsh.I think there is a law against getting a vacuum as a present. I think the penalty for such an infraction can be severe. You might should just get one before the holidays.
I had hired a guy to pick up the leaves in my yard this year. I don't mind mowing the lawn in Summer but for some reason I don't like the raking and bagging. But it dawned on me in August that I am in my 60's now and the world wouldn't end if I actually spent the money and jobbed out one of my least favorite chores.
The guy never showed so I ended up running the mower over the yard and just mass-mulching the leaves.
I'm 43 and retired while the wife is a 39y/o stay at home mom.
AND WE DECIDED TO GET A MAID SERVICE
I bought my first condo when I was 23 years old. I spent the first two months trying to keep it clean when I learned quickly how much I hate cleaning houses. I couldn't afford to eat out, take a vacation, or splurge on virtually anything. But I still hired a person to come in once every two weeks to clean my house.
Now, almost 30 years later, I still have a house cleaner come in once every two weeks. The cost is nominal, and the thought of scrubbing toilets and mopping floors is so awful that I really don't care what it costs. I've always been an LBYM person, but I have my limits.
Funny, I thought almost everyone had a house cleaner. This thread has made me realize otherwise.
It's one of those things I've always thought i would like, but never could bring myself to do it. Not the least of my reservations is the cost, estimates around $85 for a visit every 2 weeks? That's not nominal to most people if that's an ongoing expense.
Plus I know myself well enough. I'd be the kind of person that cleans before they come, that would nag at DH to pick up and put stuff away in prep. Also the whole there's-a-stranger-in-my-house thing.
And when I've seen cleaning crews show up at other neighbors houses, when I'm out on a walk in the morning, often they seem to all be smoking as they get out of their cars. If someone showed up to clean my house and they smell remotely of smoke, that would not go well.
The only estimate I got was $650 a month for basic cleaning. Our home Ian' t small but neither is it a mansion.
