So, we've got the cleaners in...
Written by Gerard on Monday 23 June 2008
Those of you who've spent time in any of our homes over the years will already know this - neither Lisa or I are remotely houseproud. Life's too short for housework, so we generally do the bare minimum and occasionally freak out at just how untidy the place gets.
How many times we dreamed of having someone else come in and clean the house down to save us having to do it? At least once a week. Sometimes daily.
So Lisa went away and found a cleaning company (given the title of the piece, you were expecting that news, no?). She arranged for them to come out to the house today and give us an estimate for a one-off spring clean.
They visited the house this morning and showed Lisa all the services they carry out. So impressed was she that she signed them up for a monthly visit at £100.00 a time. And to be honest, that's not bad. It means that once a month, these people will come in and clean the house to a certain standard, leaving us to maintain that level of cleanliness between visits.
Worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. It'll be nice to have someone take care of the dirty work, and it'll also save Lisa a fair bit of time and worry about keeping the house up to standard.
But I'm wondering - how many of you have used (or are using) a cleaning service to help out with the housework?

I have had cleaners in the
I have had cleaners in the past and I definitely felt better about the standard of cleanliness in the house. I don't have a lot of time to clean and I would love to have a cleaning company come in once a month - I sort of assumed they would have to come weekly which is a bit if a drag because I always feel I have to tidy up, but monthly would be ideal. I may have to look into that actually...
