I got a cleaning service when my wife needed more attention and now it
is just a little luxury I keep. She comes every other Wednesday.
On Tuesday, I do a load of whites, mostly sweat socks and underwear,
then Wednesday morning I strip the bed and do everything else. I choose
the sheets I want and put them out so they will make the bed.

It was not part of the deal to fold clothes but they may have seen my
pathetic folding and took pity. Sometimes I have one woman come for
four hours, other times she comes with the owner and they do it in two
hours. I pay them well and they do a fantastic job. Things are cleaned
every visit that I'd probably do once a year. When they leave, the
kitchen and baths looks the same as the day we moved in just shy of two
years ago.
