House cleaning

A M · July 2009

Do any of you have your house cleaned professionally? I don't really want to pay an arm and a leg for a 2x a month cleaning. I'm thinking once our twins are here, I would much rather spend time with them and DH than scrubbing a toilet. TIA!

I have cleaners through maidpro, and have been very happy with them. I didn't like the first set of cleaners though, called the company, and they sent a new team the next week. These ladies are awesome! I work full time, my husband's always at work, and I'm home alone with the kids. It is the best thing that I could have done. It saves me so much time, I wish I'd gotten them sooner. I have a 1700 sq ft. house, and I pay 69 dollars every two weeks. But, I probably could do monthly if I did light cleaning now and then.

We hired Merrymaids when I was in my first trimester because my dr put me on no exercise and so many household jobs were falling to my husband. I was hesitant to spend the money but it was the best decision! We are so happy now - it just made things so much easier for us, it is worth the money. We will definitely continue it when the baby is born. I actually know many people that hired a cleaning service when they had kids - and since it looks like you are due with twins, you should definitely hire cleaners!

We do. Our girl comes 2x/month and charges $80 per cleaning for our 2,200 sf (3 bed/2 bath). The $160 per month is money very well spent as it buys me my sanity and allows me to skip the deep cleaning like toilets/showers/shutter dusting that I hate so much.
