House Cleaning/Boston Area

[bicker]

I'm wondering what folks are paying for house cleaning these days, by (specifically) a bonded/name-brand cleaning company (i.e., The Maids, Merry Maids, etc.), in the suburbs north of Boston. It would be helpful if folks also indicate how many rooms are cleaned (we're 6 rooms; 2 br, 2.5 bath), and how often is the cleaning, and if you feel comfortable, which of the cleaning companies you work with.

Thanks!

Well not really the suburbs but Worcester Cty. I have 3 br and 2.5 baths and I pay my cleaning lady $60.00 for 2.5 hours. She does a great job. She comes every other Tuesday.

Edited: I called allot of those cleaning firms and they were much higher in price than cleaning ladies. I interviewed about 5 before I decided. Good Luck.

Yeah, we've had both, and for critical reasons, I want to consider only bonded/name-brand cleaning companies, but thanks anyway.

Does anyone have any experience with bonded/name-brand cleaning companies in the Boston area?

I'm in Southern NH (Nashua) and used Merry Maids about 2 years ago. I had them clean the upstairs full bath, hallway, down the stairs, the entry way, 1/2 bath, formal living room, formal dining room, eat in kitchen and family room. It was $200 per visit and they came every other week. Not sure how long it took them or how many "maids" came each week. I wouldn't recommend me as I didn't think they did a really thorough job. I only ended up using them for about 3 months as I wasn't happy with the work. I ended up with a cleaning woman who was recommended by a friend. She does an awesome job and is half the price.
