[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=svelte]$100 every two weeks, takes 3-4 hours. 3000 sf.
We’ve used her for probably a decade. Never anything questionable – no broken items, nothing missed, nothing missing, very thorough.
We’ve got a house that is shall we say unusual…never any questions asked. It all gets cleaned. Sometimes I’d like to see her reaction to the various rooms though…not for the prudish or faint-hearted.[/quote]
What the heck is going on there in svelte lair?
Years ago we had someone at 160 a,day. Good, but too much. We clean ourselves. It’s good exercise.[/quote]
My have always thought the going rate for these type of work is about $100 per day. If the husband is a day laborer and the wife is a house cleaner, that’s $200 per day x 20 days a month, so $4000 per month. given cost of living in SD, it would be hard to justify anything less.
That said, I’m with scaredy, we do it ourselves, and I pay my wife in purses.
