It just seems a bit steep to do more than once a month...anyone have this info...I hear they do a great job so thats good to know. Are there alternatives?

I pay $90 bi-monthly to a very nice woman from Si Se Puede for my 1-bed. I've been using her for about a year. I get all the usual cleaning and straightening, windows, bed linen straightening (a nice touch), sometimes the fridge gets cleaned (if necessary), the few dishes that I always leave in the sink get washed, sometimes my closet gets straightened. Everything looks clean, tidy, and attended to after Alicia has been in my place.

I was home the first couple of times, and believe me I think that it took Alicia a good three or four hours to tackle my apartment (and she always tells me that my apartment is "very clean" to begin with). And it's not like she loafed about for those few hours, she really worked. I'm very happy with the service, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I also like the premise behind the co-op. All the money goes to the person who cleans your apartment. There isn't an agency taking a cut. I think that this type of business model should be supported, especially if the product is as high quality as Si Se Puede.
