[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can hire help but that doesn't mean it's actually that helpful. Believe me. No cleaning lady I've ever hired has ever done a good a job *consistently* as I would have done myself. It makes sense in a way. She's not the homeowner, she's only making about $20 an hour, maybe less. She's not as incentivized to really put some elbow grease in the job and scour every corner. But I don't want to do it myself all the time so I'm willing to put up with inconsistencies here and there. Same with other tasks.

But I could see how if you're hiring everything out and it's all a little slipshod and patchy how that would become extremely annoying really fast.[/quote]

I would have agreed with you, until I found my current cleaning lady. She has been cleaning my home for 7 years.  I also hire her a few times a year to help me organize. Basically I pay her $20 and she will sit with me and go through the closets, basement, drawers, or whatever and help me throw stuff away and put things in containers labeled.

They are hard to find, but they do exist. She is so good, she does not take new clients. She has one customer that she has been cleaning her house since she was 19 years old. My cleaning lady is now 40. She has a crew of 7 people and works two houses at a time. She can polish a turd.[/quote]
