sj, I had to pay a bunch to get an "initial" cleaning, which in theory was deeper than the usual ones (I'm pretty sure they were here longer than usual, too), but after that it's $120 for a once a month cleaning. I kind of expect that if I did twice a month, it would be more total but less per time, because it wouldn't get as bad in between. And I have a three bedroom townhouse with 2.5 bathrooms...and this is a "green" cleaners (I don't care, but figure it's probably better for the cleaning people?) who is probably not the cheapest. Check into it! Even having it done once a month is awesome. She doesn't really deep clean, but she does the microwave and the counters and dusting and vacuuming and all the bathrooms, and washes the floors.

I just got another tracking update for my "guaranteed delivery by Friday" package. It's now 100 miles away. Considering the time it'll take to get it here, get it processed through the local FedEx office, get it on a truck, and get it to my door, I'm not optimistic.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

meara, the quote wasn't for the initial cleaning (I don't remember what that cost), but they used the inital cleaning to guesstimate how much a twice monthly cleaning would cost. This was not a green cleaner, but I did request that they only use baking soda, vinegar, and magic erasers (only for really tough areas) because my asthma can't really handle cleaning products, even days after they've been used.

Hil, does guaranteed mean there on time or your money back?

I don't think so. It just says, "Meals are shipped every Monday ensuring delivery no later than Friday." I'll contact them if I don't get it by Friday.

I agree with meara, once a month really is worth doing.

I really do need to look into it again. Floors are impossible for me. If there is a wet area on the floor I will find a way to fall on it, and TCG already does far more than his fair share.

My cleaning service comes once a month, and it works out pretty well. Except that I've got to clear the clutter before they get here, and sometimes I know I won't have time or spoons to do it, so I tell them "next week" a couple times, and it ends up more like every two months.
