What all does your housekeeper do and frequency?

This is always controversial, but I let mine do all of our laundry. She comes at least once a week for her regular maintenance cleaning. Then we have her do a deeper cleaning once a month to hit spots she normally wouldn’t during the week. Then once a year she’ll do a “Spring” cleaning including moving furniture and stuff, to really freshen up.

Her scope has grown over the years, but between the kids and our hectic schedules, it’s money well spent. We entertain a good bit so it’s nice to not have to scramble when guests are coming over. I also believe it’s good for the wife and our relationship.

What say you?

Edited to clarify cost. She works for the wife and I, almost full time, so we pay her hourly for the month. It varies each month.

Every other Tuesday, $110.

Does the usual + blinds, floorboards, and laundry. We keep a fairly tidy house so I think she does a little extra than normal for $110.

Hmm I wouldn't know, I'd have to ask my housekeeper.

But first I'd have to learn Spanish

Don't know the cost, but they come once a week and do the bathrooms and the downstairs. Every other week they do the whole house. Windows and such if we ask.

$60 every Wednesday.
Vacuum, mop, change all beddings, wipe down kitchen and bathrooms, empty trash cans... pretty minimal, but it’s only $60.

On a long enough timeline, blood would inevitably be spilled if my housekeeper did laundry, beyond washing sheets.

We have a little bawette who has her own cleaning business come in and clean our office every other week. She wears Nike shorts in summer and yoga pants in winter. IDK exactly what she does but it spices up our Fridays

DO you have a housekeeper prepper so your housekeeper doesn't see what a real slob you are?
