| - Okay, I'm a guy, I live by myself and work anywhere between 45-60 hours a week, add on 2 hours of commute time and sleeping time, that means I barely have any time to clean my condo. I try to do it once a week, but sometimes it ends up being once every 2-3 weeks and can result in some massive chaos. That massive chaos finally made me give in and call a cleaning service.
The first one that popped up and I knew of was Merry Maids. They charge $45/hour/cleaner. They said they would arrive between 12 and 1 and arrived exactly at 1. Good and on-time. Definite plus. So here's a summary of the pros and cons:
Pros:
-On time, friendly
-Did a bang up job on the bathroom. Was very impressed.
-Finally got the baseboards clean (I struggle with those)
-Even cleaned the inside of my microwave though I thought they were only cleaning the outside.
-They said "your condo isn't that bad. We've seen 10X worse". Wohoo! I'm not a total slob!!! *pats himself on the back*
-Overall, very good job
Cons:
-There were two people, so it came to $90/hour. Kind of pricey imo, but I've never used a cleaning service.
Verdict: If you need to have a spic and span place for guests and are willing to shell out the dough, then go for it. Wouldn't do it weekly, but maybe monthly.
