[quote=paramount]Is this thread some kind of a cruel joke? Sort of like, how much do you pay to have your Ferrari detailed?[/quote]
lol, I understand the thought.
I still flinch every time we pay it, but then remind myself we work hard so we can play hard. If we didn’t pay a housekeeper, we would spend all our free time cleaning. So instead of work hard play hard it would be work hard work harder.

Totally agree with you, svelte. Especially when you are very busy at work, commuting, kids. It is SOOOOOO worth it. When I did it myself it was just a ‘piece’ now, a piece later, almost never the whole house. Never had that feelinng ‘oh, the whole house is clean now, it smells clean, looks clean and tidy’. When you do one task/room at a time it’s almost doesn’t look like you are doing much. By the time you get to the next task, the previous part is already semi-messy/dirty.
To reply to the OP – I pay $110 every 2 weeks(including tip) for a 1800 sf 3 story townhome. I have kids and I live in La Jolla/UTC – it IS in general more expensive here. I paid less than $100 in Rancho Bernardo for a 1600 sf 2 story townhome, 3-4 years ago.
