Maid Needed Desperately
 
My house is a filthy mess and needs a good deep clean. Can anyone reccomend a maid or a maid service.

I want someone who will do a good job and not just 'move dirt' like some of our past maids.

Let me know if you have anyone in mind.

Thanks

depends on your location... we use "ultra abseil" on the palm and they are pretty decent (depending on the maid they give you)

Right Maids want 40dhs/hour, bit expensive if you ask me.

Any cheaper options?

Yeah it is a bit shit, I have been to busy to do anything and it's just gathered dust, you know how it is for a sinlge guy.

I'm generally quite clean and it's bugging me, but I don't have the time to do it, needs a good spring clean.

So 7 quid an hour was too much, but 6 quid an hour is just fine?

How long is it going to take to clean your apartment? months?

Normally see numbers on vans that pick them up after their work is done. Or often sitting on stairs waiting to be picked!!
