A lot of my friends have Russian or Spanish cleaning ladies...they usually get about $10 an hour and are great.

We used one of my friends once and it took her about 3-4 hours to clean up everything, but the house looked great after. My mother is a neat freak, but it was one of those spring cleaning type of things.

My ex is a total slob, and it takes his cleaning lady about three hours to do everything in his room, the bathroom, and kitchen...she washes the dishes, changes the sheets, takes any clean laundry that's in the laundry bags out and puts it away, puts dirty laundry into the bags, etc.

No one I know tips them, but then again, they don't use cleaning services.

I think your better off getting recommendations from friends/family in the area to see if/who they use, what they pay, etc.
