This was first time I've used a maid service. I requested the cleaning for a friend with cancer. His hospital bed is in the living room, so I specified to concentrate on the front part of the house, living room, kitchen, dining room and bathroom. The ladies spent way too much time cleaning out the pantry (that we don't even use) and they did a good job on that, but barely vacuumed the living room. The coffe table is still thick with dust, I don't believe it was even touched. I guess if you want it done right, do it yourself...
