1 hour house cleaning?

i saw a groupon for $63 house cleaning, which they said was half off their regular price of $125. i thought wow that's great because in the past we have paid about $100 for our 3 level town home.

i was all set to purchase. i'm glad i read further though because the $63 was just for one hour. i was never here when the people cleaned our house in the past, but i assume it took more than an hour! it would take me all day!!

i'm right not to proceed, right?

Re: 1 hour house cleaning?

  • Yeah that sounds high! When I had the cleaners come for the first time earlier this month it was 3 girls who where here for 2 1/2 hrs and the first cleaning would have cost me $100. I had a $75 gift cert though so I only paid $25. Now they come every 2 weeks and its $75. This past week it was 2 girls and they were here for 2 hrs.

    I have them clean our bedroom, the cats bedroom, the upstairs hallway, bathroom and the whole first floor (liv, din, and kitchen).

  • I wouldn't proceed either.  One hour is practically just the bathroom!

  • I'm still shocked that it only takes 2 girls 2 hrs to clean my house. Why does it take me 6?! Oh b/c I'm on the nest in between each task LOL.

    totally. i was thinking something similar this morning. i was wondering how long it would take me and i was thinking "well if i didn't stop to watch tv and text and check my email..." but geez, cleaning is so BORING i need my breaks just to get through it!

  • Yeah and my other problem I can't just clean like they do. To me cleaning and organizing goes hand in hand. So then I spend hours going through closets, and cabinets. Then I end up with 3 or 4 trash bags filled. Every time I clean! No wonder I only clean like 1 a month LOL. Now I've found that since I can leave the actual cleaning part to them. I can just straighten and organize without feeling so overwhelmed. Plus I'm not throwing my back out cleaning the tub anymore.

  • Maybe contact the company and see what they expect to clean in that time?  Maybe they send like 15 people out and so it only takes an hour Wink
