We built a house of our own design not quit six years ago.

Straight away we started having a housekeeper come every other week and clean house for us. It is the best money we ever spent. We love having a clean house, but neither of us likes to clean.

Does anyone use a housekeeping service? What's the cost? Are you happy with their service? Is it hard to get good housekeeping services in TV?

Yes. House cleaning service is certainly available here. This is a city of 75,000 people so you will have no difficulty finding it or lawn service which is about fifty dollars a month. Most people I know clean their own homes. The homes here range from about 1500 to 2500 square feet and have a lot of ceramic tile. This one level home seems so much easier than my three story up north to keep clean and neat.

Every service that you are used to up north is available here.

I use Hometown Cleaning Service as do some friends and we are very happy with them. they are very accomodating, especially if/when you need to change times, dates, etc. Here is their website: (http://www.hometowncleaningservices.com)

The costs vary depending on your sq. footage, type of house, etc.

We pay $48 every two weeks for a 1800sf one-level home. Our lady sweeps, vaccums, washes the tile floors, dusts everything but the big screen TV (I do that), cleans the bathrooms, the kitchen (including the microwave over the range), empties the trash in the waste baskets, empties the dishwasher and puts the dishes away. She washes all the windows twice a year.

She doesn't change bedding or do laundry. She would, for the same money, but we don't ask her to.

We do provide cleaning tools and supplies.

What might someone pay for that size of home and for level of service in TV?

Just curious...

I am a HUGE fan of Hometown Cleaning Services, and have found them extremely accomodating and very professional.

They are not responding to phone calls and the cell numbers don't work.

We also are so very pleased with Hometown Cleaning Service and they do a great job, are reliable and go above and beyond the regular chores. I've used cleaning services for many years and consider Hometown the best.

They are a llicensed and insured organization (very important) and are trustworthy.

Will anyone share the approximate cost of basic cleaning service as described by Dirigo for a 1500 - 1880 sq ft house?

[gego3650]

Trudy is good and reasonable. I have used her for 4 years and recommend her highly. 205-5615 & 638-3615. Try her, you will be pleased.

I used to recommend Hometown Cleaning. Not anymore! Now I use Luke's Kleaning House, and I really like them a lot.

I'd guess at $70.

I also highly recommend Kleaning House. Luke has been cleaning our house for three years and we have always been very satisfied with the job Luke and his crew do.

You can contact Luke at
352 636 1091 or Kleaninghouse@embarq.com
