[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG to the people without house cleaners, have you ever had one? I think once you know, you can't go back (admittedly I grew up with 2x week housekeeping). House cleaners are what I choose above so many other things as far as "luxury" expenses. [/quote]
I have had numerous house cleaners over the years.  NONE of them did a job that I would consider "clean".  And we aren't a very messy family.  I clean as I cook, so kitchen never gets very dirty.  We don't have pets.  American housecleaners do what I call "hotel clean"  - basic dusting and floor cleaning... but if you look closely you see see that corners are missed, things are cleaned "around" rather than being picked up and dusted under.  Things never get to the same type of sparkly clean that then do when I do it myself.  I get it, cleaning sucks, but when I pay someone for it (and well!), I expect it to be done.  I've given up that any cleaner can meet my standards.[/quote]

I agree with all this. We do a better job with all the deep cleaning than all the housecleaners we have tried -- with the exception of DC Maids. I paid for a deep clean and they actually moved all the furniture, emptied the shelves etc and made it sparkling clean. Everyone else, very lackluster.[/quote]

Yeah, biweekly housekeeping is not supposed to be a deep clean. It’s just maintenance. But it means I spend less time cleaning and when we are really busy, it kind of keeps the house’s head above water. But it’s not like if you have biweekly housecleaning you don’t have to clean any more. [/quote]

Exactly!  Nobody with even every week cleaning says "oh I cooked dinner tonight, lets not clean up the kitchen because the cleaners are coming in 3 days".  Heck even if they are coming tomorrow, I'm still cleaning the kitchen because that's what sane people do after they cook and at the end of the day---you wipe the counter, load dishwasher/wash dishes, etc.

Even the bathrooms get a quick wipe down every few days----it just means the deeper clean comes when the real cleaners show up :-)
