Time is something that almost nobody has enough of. With work, studies, housework, cooking, commuting and so many other chores, cleaning of the house is often relegated to the backseat.

Once you are done with this you will have a budget within which to work with.
Next, ask for recommendations on various house cleaning services. Make a few phone calls to some of the places and discuss with them your needs and the budget you are working with. When you manage to get a few together who are willing to work within your means, invite them over to assess personally the work that needs to be done. A bit of discussion here and you should be able to get a service that will do your work within the designated budget.
This may involve a one-time higher fee, however, if you engage the same company in fortnightly or monthly maintenance contracts, your house will remain clean and the prices for the service will come down. There are however certain aspects that you have to keep in mind. If a company touts the use of green chemicals, make sure you look into the certification of these chemicals and their actual effectiveness. The certification, of course has to be from a reputed body.
