I never thought I'd do this...

but I'm looking into hiring a "One-Time" maid service for our home ASAP.

I'd admit - I (we) did let it get out of control..it's very dusty, the baseboards NEED to be cleaned + window treatments, lighting, dusting, floors, carpets etc. We do the 'main living areas' but like every 2.5 weeks Embarrassed - now I don't have the energy to give the home a good ol' deep cleaning that it so desperately needs. Thats what I get for wanting a 2000 sq feet home for 2 people!!! Crying

I want this done before the winter hits where we're closed in and especially before the baby arrives. This way I'd just maintain it weekly and not worry so much about it getting 'worse'!

I've requested quotes from a few places....all off the net.
Anyone have any recommendations? You can PM me..or msg here Smile

Thanks a lot!

Re: I never thought I'd do this...

  • I don't have any recommendations but hiring a weekly cleaner, especially during my last trimester and through these first weeks with the baby has been a godsend.  I can definitely empathize. I'm a terrible cleaner; I'm great at picking things up and keeping things tidy but getting down on my hands and knees and scrubbing or vacuuming is like pulling teeth to me.  Knowing my house will be clean on a weekly basis is worth the peace of mind and the money to me.  Don't feel embarrassed!  You have enough on your plate.
  • I agree with PP. If I had the cash I would have a cleaning person coming in bi-weekly.
  • Cleaning was the only way I maintained some sort of sanity those last few weeks.
