I would love to have Merry Maids - but last time I used them, their husbands (in two separate cars) brought them here, and while they stayed outside - the men spent the hours looking over the house, and walking all over the property - and it made me feel VERY uneasy (and they did not speak English, either.)
NOT good!
Just try the one corner..one step at a time method...Making a long list and looking at all that needs doing is a sure downer....and “step stopper”
