What day of the week for cleaning service?

[persa]

If you got to choose the day of the week (weekday only), which would you choose and why?

We are messy people. We currently have our lady come Thursday but we trash the house so hard over the weekend that by Monday, it's like she was never here at all. Plus we're always scrambling on Wednesday night to pick up the house.

I'm thinking Monday would be better since it would help us start our week off with a clean house. And we actually pick up a tiny bit over the weekend.

I would do it Thursday to have a clean house ove the weekend when we are more likely to have company. However, Our house doesn't really get trashed over the weekend. If you clean on the weekends and don't routinely have company, I'd maybe move it to Tuesday or Wednesday. It will be clean for a couple of days, you can then pick up after yourselves over the weekend, and she will be back a couple of days after that.

I always chose to have our housekeeper come on Fridays that way my home would be clean for the weekend.

Our housekeeper generally seems to prefer Saturdays.


Wait. That's me. I'm the housekeeper.

If I had a housekeeper I think I would want Thursday or Friday. But if that's not working for you then go ahead and try Monday

[Overthemoon]

I would say Friday, because we do usually have guests only the weekends, but the thought of a Monday is appealing to me too because you would start the week off with a fresh house and your family would have extra motivation to pick up after themselves over the weekend if they know the house cleaner is coming.

I really wish we could afford a cleaning service.

If I had a cleaning service, I'd go for a Friday.

Our cleaner comes every other Friday, in the morning. That way we start the weekend off with a clean house. It's really nice. I remember my mom doing this when I was a kid (when we had enough disposable income for a cleaner, that is).

Having said that, at least with the service we use, Friday is the hardest day to get because everyone wants it.

We do Mondays. That way she takes care of the mess we made during the weekend.
It's been great so far.

Ours comes on Wednesday b/c that's when we fit into the schedule. But I would prefer Friday so I'd be home with a clean house all weekend...

Ours comes Thursday and I love having the house clean on the weekend/Friday nights for us to be able to have people over.

[persa]

Yeah we should probably be more social, haha, we hardly ever have people over

Mostly I'm tired of H bitching about how bad the house looks so soon after our sweet lady comes and cleans but that's cuz we're home all weekend and suck at picking up after ourselves (him/DD>>me)

[elleblue]

I would choose Fridays so the house is ready for company over the weekend. 

[papie]

We do Monday and I love it. It gives us the weekend to pick up and organize a bit too, and then we get a fresh start to the week. She has offered me Thursdays (she doesn't work on friday) and I refused, I prefer Monday.

[hbear]

I do Monday's, so I have time to pick up the mess Sunday night. But I could see why Fridays would be ideal, especially if we're having guests over.

[Jalapeñomel]

Friday so it's clean for the weekend.

[LoveBug]

Thursday or Friday.

[christy082]

Mine come every 4 weeks on a Wednesday (it's what they had available in their schedule). It works out nicely because Thursday is trash day and they gather up all the trash in the house and take it to the cans. So then we just have to put it on the curb that night.

Thursday so I have it clean for the weekend.
