Our ladies come every 2 weeks and DH is always home when they come (he works from home 99% of the time). I try to keep the kitchen clean in between visits and I do usually sweep up a bit in between also - because we really should have them coming every week, TBH - but that's about it.

Our ladies vacuum and clean the floors, dust, clean the sinks, tubs, toilets, etc. They don't change linens, do laundry, clean inside the appliances, or do windows. If we have them come more often, they could probably pick up a few more items and rotate.

Do they do glass shower doors or just the bottom of the shower? wedding , JoeLies ,

My kitchen sink never gets cleaned. I really need to do that more.

I'll let you know later this year. We have shower curtains in both bathrooms but DH suggested doing the master bath reno we've talked about since buying the house (5 years ago this month), now that we know there's no little JoeLies #3 coming along. I will be making all the threads.

Mine comes every two weeks (but she's flaky and cancels a lot) we pay 75 each visit. She does sweeps, vacuum and mops floors, kitchen, outside of all appliances and inside the microwave, tubs, toilets, fans, changes sheets, dusts, cleans counters. She does a pretty good job. There's 4 of them and we have a pretty small house so it only takes an hour. I pick up so all they do is clean and don't need to put anything away.

Just saw the tag! I have a weekly cleaning lady. She comes at 9 and does a full day. She cleans our entire house, changes linens, washes sheets and towels. She typically gives herself a project on top of that, whether it's baseboards, reorganizing the linen closet, taking the books off the bookcase and dusting, etc. i try to straighten up the mess but if it's crazy and I don't get to it, she will do it. I'm usually here when she gets here but I try to go out for the day. I don't like to be in her way.
