So we just moved into a 4 bedroom and my hubby is okay with me getting someone to help with the house. Does anyone use a company like Kadena outdoor rec or something else. Also what is a good price to have someone come once a week to like clean windows, dust, and do bathrooms? Thanks

www.ghokinawa.com I pay $68 bi-weekly for the works.

LOL @ the picture of someone sweeping dirt under a rug on a housekeeping site!

Thank you, I just sent them and email!! 

Steph --- 16 years ago -

We can come in the morning, afternoons, or on the weekend to clean your home while you are not there. K, so do they prefer you not be home while they clean? j/w.. I like working by myself and with my hands, so housekeeping jobs have worked out well for me in the past. I prefer people to not be there when I'm there, though. I'm wondering about it because I'm going to be needing to get a job this summer/fall after we get back from the states.

I pay $68 bi-weekly for the works. Define works. 

Lizzie Borden --- 16 years ago -

Yeah.. I am waiting on "the Works" too.. Cause I need a mamasan now.. 

chica --- 16 years ago -

Honcho...so how long have you used them for? Any problems at all?? 

MichaelHoncho --- 16 years ago -

I've never used them. I was aking what the works entailed. 

chica --- 16 years ago -

oh ok...

I used good housekeeping 1 time and paid 95 for a deep clean of the kitchen and bathroom and I was sooo diapointed, I actaully cleaned after them. I am looking for someone else now

I am looking for someone else now They did in 4 hours what I could do in 2. I love that they move so gracefully too. Oops, I meant slowly. When you get other people to clean, you'd expect them to do better than you at least since they are supposed to be PROFESSIONAL.

:) My gal kept talking on her phone

:) My gal kept talking on her phone Mine had her phone ringing plenty but she spoke briefly & hung up. I suppose many times do add up. :>

Oops, I meant slowly I'm so glad that you put these comments on because I was thinking of switching to them because my current "mamasan" takes a long time too and I need to find someone that can do it in half the time. I know it's possible because I can do it myself in half the time as long as hubby takes the kids out of the apartment. It takes me 30 mins to fold all my laundry while watching TV and it takes my mamasan an hour with no TV and no sorting WTF .. I do need to find someone else.

has anyone used the bissel steam mop...I am thinking of ordering one I've asked that question before and got no responses, so yeah I'm curious about that too. 

chica --- 16 years ago -

hmmm all the reviews I have read are awesome....my entire house is tile....and I am mopping all the time...I am thinking this might be the solution....LOL 

Mrs. Taken --- 16 years ago -

I just ordered the scooba (I pd 186 for the refurbished one and it comes with a 1 yr warranty also, just a thought 

notmuchlonger --- 16 years ago -

Thanks for the reviews...I could clean my house I just hate to do the bathrooms....3 boys= pee everywhere!! And I hate to mop which we now have a tile house. I just don't want to to do the little stuff! 

Ennui --- 16 years ago -

I just ordered the scooba (I pd 186 for the refurbished one and it comes with a 1 yr warranty also, just a thought A scooba is GREAT! Take note though... If you have plenty of furniture, it does get stuck sometimes. Best if you have lots of empty spaces or your furniture is well spread out. I used to leave the scooba to do its work then leave. It was frustrating to come home to an unfinished floor because it got stuck under the sofa. Other than that, VERY GOOD! 

Mrs. Taken --- 16 years ago -

Thats what I read too, thankfully I dont have any furniture in my kitchen,walkway and bathrooms I hope it works good for us, it is my Mothers day present to myself LOL 

Just another girl --- 16 years ago -

chica --- 16 years ago -

Mrs. Taken --- 16 years ago -

I ordered mine off of ebay and I think it is the 250 SF one (amaxon would not ship here for the refurbished model), I also ordered myself the Roomba (refurbished w/1 yr warranty) vacuum (from amazon) LOL. I had a rough year and deserve a GREAT MOTHERS DAY LOL. 

Ennui --- 16 years ago -

I'm also looking for another cleaning service. I'm doing the cleaning but would love to do deep cleaning soon. I tried GHO many times & they always leave me unsatisfied. Any recommendations? 

notmuchlonger --- 16 years ago -
