Cleaning ladies !

[mrrangerrick]

$40/hour is very high, I'm sure you could find cheaper options, perhaps put an add in a local paper or call local cleaning services and ask for some referrals. I don't think they'd all charge that much.

Hopefully, you will find someone to help you with the cleaning.  Good luck on your mission.

I have never hired professional help to clean up after moving. $40/hr is expensive. Are you sure you did not hire professionals who specialize in cleaning out hoarder’s home pile full of trash? Those do take a lot of work if you ever saw one.

[Rahmanh]

No, but I am thinking about such company business.

40 bucks an hour, darnit I need to get a cleaning job!

[dsosnowski06]

Have you check the local newspapers or Craiglist  or Care.com?  When my daughter babysit she signed up to Care.com and found many part time babysitting jobs and they also had people willing to clean homes on the site

Why is the cleaning industry dominated by women ? How about cleaning men start a movement ?

[ktheodos]

It's probably because their independent and have to cover a lot of costs on their own?

$40 an hour IS cheap. I hired Merry Maids just to do one floor of my house ... over $400. They are insuranced so it's covered if they steal/break anything, but I still think it's a ridiculous rip-off. Which cleaning lady is $40 an hour? I'd gladly hire her. Lol.

[mrsmere]

No I haven't but if people charging that much and getting paid, it seems very lucrative to me.  I just cleaned my house so someone needs to pay me.

[michele2042]

I've never hired a house cleaner (wish I could) so I'm unsure of the prices.   Did the $40.00 an hour include them providing all cleaning supplies?   I would imagine if supplies are furnished by the cleaner the fee might be a bit higher.

Surely you can find someone who has their own company.  Ask around - someone will have a suggestion for you.  Also check online in your area.

That's a ridiculous price! I have no idea what they charge here, but I don't think it's that much.

The mom of a friend of my son's told me she needed help, and would it help me to be her cleaning lady one day a week.

She was such a sweet lady, and appreciated her thinking of me. She did it in such a sweet manor, I was not offended.

That helped me as a newly single mom in a big way.

OH I wish I had one.  I hate cleaning, doing laundry, everything about it !!!  But I can't afford to have someone so I guess I will be doing it forever
