s/o Cleaning service

christinak22 · May 2013

If you have a cleaning service, how often do they come and how much do you pay? You ladies got me thinking, but I don't want to take the leap into calling around for quotes yet...

Once per week. 2800 sq ft house in S calif. Pay $95 and they do an excellent job.

They come every other week. We have gone through a few, but the cheapest was $95/clean and the most expensive was $115/clean. This will vary a lot depending on where you live and the size of your house. Our house is roughly 2500 sq ft.

In Chicago--we have a service come every other week, 2 ladies 2 hours. We pay $90. They get pretty much everything done in our 2100 sq. ft house, but I always tell them that the priority is the bathrooms, kitchen, and the floors should be spotless. Normal routine is change bedding, dust, dust blinds, wash floors, scrub bathrooms and kitchen. No windows.

I've had them coming for almost 2 years now, and I am thinking of maybe looking around as I don't feel they are doing as good of a job as they used to.

We have had this issue a couple of times and changed services because of it. This time, DH started leaving them a tip every few cleans instead and they have stepped it up a bit.

We have Miss Wendy who comes every other week and we pay her $85. Our house is around 1,800 square feet with one full and one half bath. She doesn't really do much in the bedrooms except maybe vacuum one area rug, but she does an amazing job everywhere else. Oh, and she doesn't dust every little thing but that's because I told her not to bother. I'm more concerned with things like the floors being cleaned, the bathrooms, the stove top, etc.

Thanks! I live south of Chicago in a 1800 sq ft house, so this gives me an idea...

Generally you get a discount for frequency and obviously size and area make a difference, but generally speaking it will probably be around $75 - $125. Right now we are paying $100 for 1x a month for about 2500sqft. We probably could find someone to do it for around $85, but our lady is great. She spends about 4 hours and does 'extras' like vacuum cheerios out of our couch cushions and cleans our coffee maker. We found her on craigslist vs. a service.

Our last house was 1600 sq. ft. They came every other week and it was $85 a time. Usually 2 or 3 ladies would come and the house would be done in about an hour- hour and a half.

LCOL area, 2400 sq ft house, 130 per time, every other week.

PPs make me think I need to get some other quotes, but I part of me doesn't even care if I am over paying; having a house cleaner is FABULOUS!!
