I have got a similar request as the email below -- I am looking for a home-cleaning service. My parents live in an apartment in Chennai -- one of the regular maid types helps my mother with the house work. . The maid does the washing and some superficial cleaning, while my mother used to do the "deep" cleaning once every month ... empty the kitchen and scrub it, remove grime, clean cieling fans and windows etc... Unfortunately she no longer has the energy to do this. I tried a couple of janitorial services ... but they dont seem to understand that ingrained grime is actually dirt and that the black line between the floor tiles was originally white etc..., and they needed too much of follow-up and chasing after to barely get some cleaning done.
Can anyone recommend a professional home cleaning service who can come and thorough job once a month ? I dont mind paying above market rates thanks ashok On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 2:48 PM, Divya Manian <[email protected]> wrote: > Folks > > My grandma is 78 and is quite fragile.
