Subject: cleaning service at home?
Hi all,
I realize that this isn't really being very frugal...but I have been I live by myself in a 1500 sq ft 3 bedroom/3 bath house so I also don't I have been thinking of getting a professional maid to come in and clean I think this would be worth it. I got this maid from a friend who said I'm sure people won't go into details much here but has anyone used Another concern is also that I will probably not be home when the maid is Dan. -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

I use a cleaning service for 3 hours every other week- this costs
$80/month. i have had an individual clean for me before but found this to be cheaper but pretty unsatisfactory, so switched to a servie. They use their own supplies and equipment, they are BONDED so breakage or theft would be no problem (never yet happened). I feel better going through a business- if there should be any problems, I would just call their boss. They do not clean every thing though. We clean our bedroom, have the others done when the kids are coming home, do the laundry, dishes etc. I will not pay them to pick up after us, so everything is neat on cleaning day so nothing slows them down. I love it- even if we do nothing, the place is always presentable. I think the $100/month is reasonable considering what you want her to do...and very frugal in terms of mental health.

Based on only a little experience with this kind of thing I think the price
quoted sounds reasonable. Not cheap, but reasonable. As to your concern about valuables, I doubt that a friend would recommend anyone if they'd stolen from them; however, you might ask your friend how s/he handles the question of protecting their own valuables from theft. Most people are honest (although one might not be to sure from a couple other threads going on right now <g>), but personally if I had small valuable things I might consider hiding them or locking them up at least while the cleaning woman is relatively new. Have you considered comparing rates with one of the major national chain I recall vaguely when my mother used to employ a cleaning woman that she Daniel Donghoon Paik <u...@soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU> wrote in message You must Sign in before you can post messages.

I do know from first hand experience that if you pay someone to do work in
your home, and you pay them more than $1000 a year, you will have to issue them a W-2 form and pay taxes for them. There is a line right on the 1040 form that asks if you pay anyone to do domestic work for you. A friend of mine did cleaning for years, and stopped because of the tax consequences to herself and the people she cleaned for. -- I Samuel 12:24 Daniel Donghoon Paik <u...@soda.CSUA.Berkeley.EDU> wrote in message You must Sign in before you can post messages.

That price is VERY reasonable, provided that they do a decent job of it. Be certain that the person is either bonded and insured, or very trustworthy You must Sign in before you can post messages.

My mother had various cleaning people through the last ten years or so of her life, I've had various cleaning people when I was working (at various times of my life when I could afford it). (a) The price seems low (for California, I see your address is from Berkeley). (b) It sure was worth it! If you can afford it and if you don't choose to spend your spare time cleaning house, it's WONDERFUL. (c) My mother never had any problems with anything being stolen. She was home when the cleaning people were there, however. (d) When I had cleaning people and wasn't home, I never had any problems with things being stolen, either. YMMV.
