here in chicago, we paid $60 plus tip when we lived in a one bedroom/one bath apartment last year. we have yet to hire a cleaning lady for our new place we moved into in april but our cleaning lady we used to use charges $75 for a one bed plus den. I know! My parents had to maids too, but the both quit and now one of them has just come back, she's been with us for more than 15 years, she comes and goes but she's like part of the family, she does everything! my mom doesn't even do laundry
