    Weekly / bi-weekly apartment cleaning solution

    Does anyone know of a service/solution where I could get somebody over to clean my apartment?

    Either once or week or once every 2 weeks. What would be the cost per instance?

    There are cleaning agencies like Merry Maids (I used them once for window cleaning in Wan Chai).

    There are any number of helpers who will clean for you illegally (because can only have one employer) but you can both get in trouble.

    I had a weekly cleaner (4 hours per week, 400 HKD total) on Peng Chau because no one wants to come out to the outlying islands. Found her on ERB, very useful matching website to find legal part time cleaners. I was told by the person that I called that 100 hour for a weekly clean was about the going rate and she wanted to do 4 hours (which was likely too much for my small flat so asked her to wash the sheets as well, which was super helpful to me). (the link posts in mostly Chinese but the site is in English and it's for cleaners but also elderly and baby care).
