Hi L., I have these wonderful Polish cleaning ladies who clean my house twice a month. I have a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, tri-level with a finished sub-basement and I pay $100 each time. They are great and I've had them now since late 2005. It's 2 sisters and their mom. Sometimes a friend of their's helps them, but it's generally always the same 2 or 3. They use your own cleaning supplies, so whatever you like, they will use. And they do the floors on their hands and knees! Unless you use something different.
They actually just started cleaning a neighbor's house as well. They charge by how long it takes to clean the house, not so much the size. So the more clutter, the longer the time spent picking up and moving things to and from.
I know they clean everywhere from downtown to Lisle up north as well.
Message me if you're interested and I will give you their contact information.
Good luck! Even with my husband being laid off, I have managed to keep them. So far, they are one thing I can't seem to cut from my budget. With 12-year old twins to run everywhere, I just don't have the energy to deep clean anymore!
