[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$230K and no cleaning lady.  We did have one at $100-150K - the kids were young and, with two working parents, it was tough to keep up.  I am glad we did it during that time - it was a splurge that was worth it.  Now the kids are preteens/teens and both create less mess and assist with household chores, so it's not necessary to have one.[/quote]

do any of you scrub the floors, or just kinda sweep and mop it?  I find people who don't have cleaning services don't really put in the elbow grease necessary to have a truly clean house.[/quote]

I'm one of the PPs. I absolutely get on my hands and knees and scrub. That's one of the main reasons why I fired the service. I scrub and buff the floors. My whole house it hardwood or tile. I cannot do it all at once, but I do a couple of areas at night during the week. [/quote]

Me too! I think my house is truly clean, a much deeper clean than a cleaning lady. But cleaning doesn't bother me. I spend maybe 15-30 minutes on it a day.[/quote]

I'm busy from 6 am until 8 pm with getting kids off to school, commuting and working. I do not want to spend 15 or 30 minutes daily on it. It would cut into my time to relax, talk to DH or girlfriends or read a book.[/quote]
don't you already spend 30 minutes a day loading the dishwasher, doing laundry, cleaning up after yourself, etc? It's not like a cleaning service means you never have to clean. It just means you don't have to deep clean (IF you get a great service). [/quote]
