Curious who else on here uses a weekly or bi-weekly cleaning service. We’ve had a service for a while, and they do a great job, but it’s somewhat pricey. Not a large place by any means, either. 2 story, about 1600 sq.ft. So, any recommendations for under, say $200/mo.? ---

$400 bucks to have your house cleaned twice in a month? How long does it really take to mop and wipe down some surfaces yourself? It’s the picking up that’s a pain and they don’t do that, right? Yes, I am just jealous. ---

[quote=“JDMSIR,post:4,topic:39809"”] Very lazy if you ask me. [/quote] Excuse me? Look…I’m in the middle of starting up a business, my wife has a damn good, well-paying, but demanding as hell job, add 2 kids to the mix, and our free time is **extremely** valuable to us. The house already stays “clean” 90% of the time, but if we can cut out the 2-3 hours we spend every damn Saturday doing the floor washing, dusting, and the rest of the detail stuff, then it’s worth it to us. So, to keep it short, the whole lazy comment isn’t appreciated. ---

my parents pay only 60 per cleaning, they get it done bi-weekly. I would hook you up with a contact, but they live 400 miles away. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/housecleaning-prices/39809.md?page=2)
