Every two weeks, Carla comes. She needs the money. I not only hate cleaning, but I can't do it anymore. $250 well spent.

Best quality of life splurge: hire a cleaning service for every other week. I still have to pickup and clean some things, but the leg up from having a bi-weekly service buys your life back. And, this is coming from a guy who really likes to clean!!

On rare occasions i have hired a crew to do a thorough job, and may again. But we're not usually overly fastidious and between us and the cats we take care of things OK.

WE are both retired on a fixed income; and can't afford to pay others to clean our home. At least we are alive & well.
ReplyI don't care to have strangers in my house... Secondly, I would have to clean before they came etc.
ReplyI don't want to spend the money to have it done.
ReplyIf I could afford it, I would love to hire somebody!
ReplyWe are moving and are having a friend do a thorough clean up of the house and appliances before moving day. As messy (but not dirty) as we are, we should have maids, however we don't want our stuff rearranged. Maybe we will have our friend clean the stove annually, or something, still.
ReplyI don't want anyone else touching (and rearranging) my stuff.
ReplyA hired cleaner would do a better job
