I have someone come in to clean for a few hours every other week, and I have for over 20 years, even when I was single. When I was married, she came every week. Now I'm back to every other week. I don't know what the going rate is around the country and around the world, but here in the southern USA in my small town, it's $60 every time they come, so $120 per month. Worth every penny. The lady I have now actually runs her own cleaning company. She has several women working for her. She and her husband also live in the country near me, she's 35 years old, has five children, and they are trying to adopt two more brothers, age 7 and 11. She is a ray of sunshine, very organized, businesslike, thorough, and I love her to pieces. It's a mutually beneficial relationship to the max.
