We have a nice lady come in and do our cleaning once a week, and we're thinking about bumping it up to twice a week. My honey is a little on the OCD side, liking everything just so, but she's busy and she has physical handicap issues that make it hard for her to do a lot of intense cleaning. I am relaxed, easy-living, and don't care that much (except for her sake), and in any case, I suck at cleaning. This cleaning lady is a main load-bearing wall of our marriage. We pay her around $80 per visit.
We didn't hire her from a service, we got a recommendation from friends. These word of mouth hires are the way to go. We have only hired "professional cleaning services" of the sort listed in the Yellow Pages when we vacate an apartment, and need proof that the place was cleaned by a bonded and licensed cleaning service.
