I booked an hourly maid for housekeeping, from a cleaning agency. She was helping me to settle the major cleaning chaos, eg: glass windows, doors, grill, fans.... while she doing the major part, I was not free, was tidying up my wardrobe, study desk and other personal stuffs. Her name is Shanti (not sure if I spell correctly or not, but it sound like it.). She did a detail cleaning job and fast. Let's see how many tasks she had completed in 4 hours. 1) grill, glass doors and windows - these are most tedious, spend ard 2++ hours. 2) 5 ceiling fans 3) 2 toilets 4) vacuum - floor and sofa 5) mop the floor This is the first time I hired a maid, not sure if she completed the tasks in reasonable time or not. But i think I might spend the similar amount of time on those chaos, if I do it. In my opinion, should be quite reasonable. One thing that surprise me, she vacuum my sofa, before I ask. :P She know what to do most of the time, no need to give many instructions. Hope next time...
