Do you have one? Answer for right now, not in the past or what you plan to do in the future.

[MrsMB]

I clearly answered no....but oh, dang do I waaaaaaaaaaant one!!!!

[pooh8402]

no but I want one sooooo bad!!!!! we used to have one in Houston that came every 2 weeks, she was great. DH says we can't afford someone but I call bs. at least someone for once a month deep cleaning--baseboards, windowsills, etc--would be nice.

[Deleted]

No but need one.

[travelbug]

No, I do not. I think it would be nice to have them deep clean every once in a while, but I like to clean our place myself.

[awick14]

No but I need one. BADLY. At least right now I do. Lol

[christy082]

Yes, every 2 weeks. I absolutely hate cleaning, so even though I now work part time, we still have them come. It's been so nice for our marriage to not have to worry about who is cleaning what. I keep up on it in between their visits, of course, but it's not so time consuming now. If it ever came down to it, I'd find something else in the budget to cut back on before ever getting rid of them.

[ewall]

Nope. Trying to keep lifestyle inflation under control!

[HoneySpider]

I don't. I think it would be nice to have someone come once in a while, but in reality, if I had extra disposable income I'd probably choose to spend it on other things (mainly travel).

Exactly!

it is the best money ever spent!!!

[MrsAggie]

No but I want one! I think it'd be worth every penny.

[Deleted]

I don't, but I think it would be very convenient!

[bk1]

Nope. Even if I had the money I'm sure I wouldn't. It's not that I like cleaning, but I'm very private in my home and cheap. Though like a once a season deep cleaning would be awesome!

[wanderingenough]

Unfortunately not. We did for about 5 months a few years ago but H didn't feel it was worth it. Being that he doesn't do things like dusting/baseboards/etc., it's something I'll likely push for at least monthly once we have a kid.

[estrellita]

Lol.. yeah we definitely can't afford that. I would love it though to only have to do the day to day general pickup. I really want to hire someone to help us purge/organize stuff too. That would be amazing!

[mac08]

I never have had one, but I would love it!  It is something I would definitely spend the money on if I had the extra disposable income. Maybe after we buy another house, but with being in an apartment now, it seems silly to spend money on that when we should be saving more.

[krystee]

You forgot choice D: No, so I live in squalor.

My house is a complete disaster right now. Normally my answer would be the third one!

I am always so tempted to hire one, but we are paying off a credit card, trying to build an emergency fund, etc., so it would probably be very irresponsible of me. But I am thinking about splurging on quarterly deep cleans (things I never get around to doing, line baseboards, tops of cabinets, blinds, etc.).

[HoneySpider]

krystee there are lots of times that would be my answer, I am not good at keeping up on cleaning!

[greenmonster]

It is something I just am not good at. Having someone once a month is amazing. I can keep up in between. It saves many fights between H and I!

[spankswife]

SS - DH maintains the house. I'm in charge of clutter things, but he does the cleaning.

[awick14]

krystee- I haven't cleaned the baseboards since we installed them just under 2 years ago... Yikes!
