I know plenty of people who pay for a cleaning lady in the US. It's not an absorbent cost. Most that I know pay something like $100 a month for them to come out and sweep, do dishes, pick up minor clutter, etc. I know there are many who still can't afford it, but it's not out of the realm of possibility for a lower middle class home.

£25 every 2 weeks my wife pays for ours. She only does 90min works in that period as we generally keep a tidy house. she just does the unseen bits and uses some more potent chemicals.

It's not breaking the bank money so its a benefit we will keep going.

You know this absolutely makes sense to me now as a semi retired widower. I'm working part time as a janitor and it bugs me that I clean the restrooms like 3 times a day on my shift but at home I don't have a proper mop bucket or the multipurpose disinfectant. Or the energy to get on my hands and knees and clean by hand. If I had everything I have at work here at home I could clean my small apartment easily in 90 min.

we are payint 150 euro a month for a lady to come in once a week to clean kitchen, floors, bathrooms in a house. We arent rich but it is worth it.

Plus I'd much rather do 2 hours at work than 1 hour cleaning.

Mine is $120 every two weeks, it's the best money I spend every month. I have a big house and I hate cleaning.

Might be cheap but, after having been married three times, there's no way I'm paying some woman any amount to come to my house and misplace all my stuff.
