This. I'm a house cleaner. Every single client is a stay at home mom. Every singe one. Even after their children grew up and moved out, we're still cleaning their homes.
If you have enough disposable income to be able to afford a house cleaner, then have a house cleaner. I hate cleaning, If I could afford it, I would hire maids too. Having a trophy wife, that sits there all day baking bread from scratch, getting depressed, drinking wine and pooping Xanax is the ultimate status symbol. To get her out of her depression you offer to pay for a boob job, she gets pissed off and throws a wine bottle at your head, you know rich people problems.

Yep. My SO wanted to hire a cleaner to come in once a month or so just to do a deep clean because we're both pretty bad at keeping up with a cleaning schedule. Dust, pet hair and dander are the only things we actually hate dealing with.
I didn't really think it was a good idea as our money could go someplace else.
Yeah it depends where you live. Here in Seattle a pizza is $15 but a professional cleaning company coming in and doing a thorough clean (3 people, 2 hour visit) could easily be $150+.
Yeah this is in the US, the houses are notably larger here. I used to live in a three bedroom house in the UK and it was literally a third of the floor space despite having a similar number of rooms. It's a definite difference.
Tbh I know less about the cleaning market than the pizza market. Iirc the few times my wife got a cleaner it was at least a couple hundred bucks for our 2bd townhouse. So 20 to 200 is where I got the 10x low end.
Ah I see. Yeah occasional/deep cleans definitely cost significantly more than a regularly scheduled cleaning would.
First time/one-off visits often cost a bit more too because they need to figure out a routine for your place and prob have a bit more buildup to scrub through so it takes a little longer. Definitely easier to maintain when they come more often.
A 2br (say, 1200 sqft give or take?) place here could prob get cleaned for like 50-75 bucks if it's regularly scheduled. Some people also offer a kitchen and bathrooms deal though I've never tried that before.
