A New Study Shows Women Love Housework

[MarciKS]

my mother used to clean people's houses for a living for a while. i know she didn't charge even $25 an hour. i don't remember what she charged but this was like back in the late 70s maybe. sometimes she would take me along and i would help for free of course.

You hire a company that’s licensed, bonded and insured and then you can be sure that all the employees have been screened and you don’t have to worry about people stealing. Once I went back to work full-time in 1994 I had Cleaners up until about five years ago. Now I started up again.

I’m using the same company that I’ve used for a lot of years. In the beginning, I tried three or four companies until I was satisfied, and no one ever stole from me. I do not have cameras inside the house. These people are so awesome that my dogs absolutely love them.

Actually, the people I know who had bad experiences with cleaners, got them just through word of mouth rather than an agency so, it sounds like using a licensed agency is much safer albeit probably more expensive. I often see people on the local WhatsApp group asking for details of local cleaners - I have no idea if they do any checks on whether they are licensed or not but, I doubt it.
