Spring Cleaning

judecorpThanks to a generous gift certificate from a few very nice members of my family, including my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
smurfbrother and SIL, and my mother and her husband, I currently have two chipper Merry Maids deep cleaning our house. One of them is cleaning the heck out of our bathroom right now, and the other is dusting every surface in the living room. It is lovely. My Jennifer and the Punk are spending time together at the library and then heading to a local cafe that caters to littles for lunch. Good times.
They don't clean to the level of my grandmother back in the day (who does?), so I guess if there's not hearty Eastern European stock involved, it will be a lower level of clean. But still, it is more detailed cleaning then I ever get a chance to do and I am very, very grateful. My SIL will be in town next week and my mother and stepfather come about two weeks later, so it will be nice to have a fresh start on the house - cobweb free. I especially like that they are going to scrub parts of the house that just NEVER get touched, like the little lip over the shower. Who has time when there is a 2.5 year old tyrant around?
I was told that this would likely be a four-hour job, but they are definitely rushing to get their day finished so I don't imagine it will go down like that. One of them just yelled, "It's 12:00," so I guess the race is on. I better see sparkles! :)
(Oh, and I LOVE watching someone else clean my house while I tool around on the internet.)

Date: 2010-03-27 04:56 pm (UTC)She cleaned my house to sparkle a few weeks ago, it went from NASTY to CLEAN! Sparkling! in about 3.5 hours. A revelation, I tell you. Her rate is $20/hour.
I might have her come back soon, since I'm apparently too much of a slug to clean anything lately.
