Q for Working Mamas who use Cleaning Services
Just curious to hear what you all do in between cleans and how frequent your cleans are? I was just informed that my bi-weekly rate was going to increase bec they need more time to do my house. I have been using this service for a few months now. I dont do anything in between cleans! Just a really quick bathroom clean and the floors are swept and counters wiped daily. I dont vacuum, wash floors, dust, or anything else in between. Am I horrible? Ahhh!! Thank you in advance for sharing.

Q for Working Mamas who use Cleaning Services
I don't do much besides daily wipe of tables and counters. I have bi-weekly. I clean the toilets if they appear dirty and vacuum if crumbs are on the floor or whatever but other than that I just have them clean. Working and with 2 kids (and other things I want to be doing) I just don't have the time.

Q for Working Mamas who use Cleaning Services
Since I have two shedding dogs I quickly vacuum the hardwood downstairs about every other day. I also wipe off the counters and stovetop every time I cook. That's pretty much it. But before they come (bi-weekly) I do take 30-45 minutes to tidy and get as much as I can off the floor, tabletops, countertops, and every cleanable surface so the cleaners can spend their time cleaning instead of moving things.

Re: Q for Working Mamas who use Cleaning Services
How much more time can it be taking them to vacuum up a few more crumbs on the floors they are already vacuuming? They are probably just raising rates and its not that your house is dirtier.

This-- and I am a total d-bag bc my cleaning lady comes once every three weeks! though I am upping it to every other week. Before I had kid number 2 I would atleast do the floors and bathroom in between but now I cant be bothered

Re: Q for Working Mamas who use Cleaning Services
I have bi-weekly cleanings. On off weeks I do most of it myself.
Dusting
Vacuuming
Toilets
Kitchen
I don't typically bother with the floors, tub, or shower unless we are expecting company.
