Free Maid Service For A Year!!!



OK, this just may solve my issue that I stressed in an earlier post. Good Housekeeping is giving you savvy strategies to make cleaning and decluttering easier. But let's admit it: A professional housekeeper is the biggest time saver of all. Now, one very luck reader can win an entire year of whole-house cleaning every other week from THE MAIDS. A $2,500.00 value, the service will follow a 22 point process to assure that no soap scum goes unscrubbed and no bookcase is left un-dusted. Log on to http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/win to enter!
Bonbons and fuzzy slippers not included.
Good Luck. (and if you win you have to share with me)

I want a professional cleaning just once or twice a year. I feel like if I had that I could TOTALLY maintain and not have to take any time away from Ms. Bee.

Is it expensive to have your house cleaned do you know?

When are we going to have a Girls+Evan evening again at Yia Yia's?

I think my husband would want this. So he said to me the other day out of no where...

"I know a person who will clean our house for $20 an hour. We would only need them for a couple hours twice a week."

I started laughing b/c I thought he was totally joking and then he said he was serious!

I said there were so many things wrong with that! 1. We have no kids, live in an average-ish size house, and are capable of cleaning ourselves. 2. WHO do you want to hire? A friend, some stranger. 3. twice a week for a couple hours....how dirty do you think we are?!?!

This is why I love him. It made me laugh and I told him he still had to take out the trash that night!

Before I started at my current job I was self-employed and ran my own cleaning business.

I charged anywhere from $15-20 an hour and the client provided the cleaning supplies that I requested.

I cleaned anywhere from once a week to once a month at people's homes and did anything from normal cleaning (what I called maintenance cleaning - dusting, bathrooms, floors, etc.) to windows, heavy cleaning and probably everything in between. It was up to the client.

I would say on average a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with no pets would take 2 to 2 1/2 hours weekly. If it was an every other week client it would take more like 2 1/2 to 3 hours (just because there was more "yuck" built up). Obviously if they had kids or pets or were just plain messy people it would take longer.

Honestly, if we could do it budget-wise I would have a cleaning person. It would be hard to have a stranger in my house, though. People had to trust me so much to give me their keys/garage door opener, even their code to their alarm, etc. So I would TOTALLY ask for references.

I will enter this if for no other reason than to get my mother-in-law, aka "Marie Barone," off my back.
