Default Maid/cleaning services

Does anyone know of any decent maid/cleaning companies, especially one that will come to Deira? Our lovely cleaner has gone home for two months and I am looking for someone for a few hours twice a week for cleaning & ironing.

Thanks

I have one that comes around 3 times a week.
She is really really good.

She hasnt been disrespectful once by looking me in the eyes or talking to me, and has not tried to eat the cat or the terrapins.

If she continues like this i will up her salary to 50dhs a month!

We have been paying our regular lady Dhs 500 a month, but she comes once a week for 3 hours, sometimes more.

Please do. Thanks.

I am happy to pay someone to do the jobs I dislike. Much nicer.

all women who do not work should do their own bloody cleaning and ironing

and dont use the old 'i have a child to look after' excuse.

disgraceful


edit: my ironing costs around a tenner for 2 weeks worth of clothes!!!

That kinda takes the pee a bit. Seriously, it reminds me of the lady in the Lakes getting the maid to clean the dog poo off her shoes. These are human beings too and it is a shame that they are not given the respect that they deserve.

I am sure you are not alone though.
