Funny!!! The one time I had a regular cleaning lady was when we lived in Germany and the money exchange rate was terrific so it was not expensive. I did the same thing - scrubbed before she came. I wasn't going to let her see my dirt!!

So, she would do some wonderful baking and we would sit and have coffee and I polished up my german language skills

What I think would be great is to hire professionals to come in and really scour the place until everything was gleaming - then I think it would be so much easier to just try to keep it that way.
