Depends on how often you want them in, how big your house is, number of kids and pets, how detailed the work is.

We're paying $85/week for a 2,200 sq.ft. 4-br 2.5bath. They spend 4 (wo)man-hours per week. They supply the vacuum, mops, etc but I supply cleaning chemicals, paper towels, etc. They are insured and bonded.

If you go really under-the-table, I'm sure you could do much cheaper.

Gotta agree with Ali, my house is by no way spotless, its clutter and messy...but not dirty.

Dirty is for outside, Im happy for the boys to get filthy, but they dont need to bring that inside and live in it.

Even cavewomen used to brush the dirt outside

That said, when I visit people, I dont care if THEY choose not to believe the same.

My BFF loves me visiting, because I subconsciously start cleaning her kitchen and floors.

Dude, your house is not a big mess, it is all kinds of fucked up. I thought my house was bad, but next to yours, mine looks like a wafer fab.

Hire Clodfobble to go through there like Grant went through Richmond.

If someone cleaned my house I'd be homeless.

Let science be the judge.

Science doesn't happen without cash, and unfortunately big pharma has more than I do.

I'd support that. The science doesn't appear to be happening though.

Just an update.

I changed the linens on the bed and made it up nice.
I unpacked all the suitcases
I did 7 loads of laundry
I not only cleaned the bathroom I put in a new toilet!
I filed away about 150 CDs and about 70 DVDs and Videos
I drank as much of the wine as I could but I still have work to do there.
I cleaned the kitchen and did several loads of dishes.
