We used to have a team come once a month and they did everything except laundry, the inside of the fridge and oven, and ceilings/walls. </p> <p>Sadly it's not in our budget anymore so now my weekends are quite busy with cleaning :( and no more deep cleaning. Hopefully we'll move soon so we'll just let things get super dirty and then just move. Haha. Just kidding... kinda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-751884 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 08:50:17 +0000 kml636 751884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: I really don't know how I convinced DH to do it. It wasn't cheap, but I'm so excited about having a clean house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-751715 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 06:48:06 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 751715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: I want to do this but we don't have the funds right now.

Enjoy this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-750869 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:45:32 +0000 RLCeigh 750869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best decision ever! My husband and I always say that even if we both lose our jobs we are keeping the cleaning lady. Fa real!<br /> Ours comes every other week and does everything but windows-- she does change the sheets that I put out for her.The kitchen looks brand new and I love coming home from work every other Wednesday :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-750809 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:21:29 +0000 Meridian 750809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have ours come once a month, but it makes such a difference! She deep cleans the kitchen and the 2 bathrooms, dusts, vacuums and mops. It takes her about 3 hours for our 1200 square foot condo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-750615 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:58:48 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 750615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything except clothing laundry, but she does do bed linens and towels. We only have her coming once a month right now, but I might increase it, especially since we'll be saving money on childcare when I'm off over the summer. Of course, since I'm off, I guess I should be the one cleaning, but I DON'T WANNA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-750605 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:57:42 +0000 mynoahbear 750605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She comes 3 times a week for 8 hours each day. She does everything...laundry, ironing, floors, changes all the bed linens, dishes...everything. She also watches LO if I have to run out for a quick errand. We live in Beijing so this is considered normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-750595 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:54:14 +0000 heffalump 750595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She does everything (vacuum, dust, mop, bathrooms, kitchen, etc) and she offered to throw our sheets in the wash but DH didn't want her to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-750514 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:30:31 +0000 dagret 750514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every other week- bathrooms, dusting, floors.

She used to laundry, too, but I wanted to cut back a little on expenses and so I had her do less. </p> <p> @Mrs Green Grass: My lady will change the bedsheets if I leave out the clean ones, too. </p> <p>If my house isn't too dirty to begin with, she'll even get some deep cleaning done..baseboards and behind big furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-a-cleaning-person-what-do-you-have-them-do#post-750497 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:23:28 +0000 Rescuemom10 750497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my gal come every other week. Floors, windows, dusting, bathrooms. The basic. She would do anything but dishes.<br /> BEST THING EVER.

But I've never had someone like this so I'm curious - what chores do you have your cleaning person do? How often do they come? </p>
