Can anyone recommend a good house cleaner/maid? I've never had anyone clean my house before and really I only need one room cleaned, a master bedroom and bathroom. I tried to look up some services on Craigslist and general Google searches but there are just so many options and I feel like it would be hard to trust a completely random person. Also, I have no clue what fair pricing for something like this would be so any advice on that would be great.
I'm mostly looking for a good dusting, scrubbing in the bathroom, sweeping and mopping job. Something that would take me more time than I have to spend on it to do it right.

I use [Atlanta Cleaning Source](http://atlantacleaningsource.com/). They'll come check out what you want done and give you a quote based on the time they think it'll take, so if your task is not very time-consuming then that could be an economy for you. Also be mindful that most services require an initial baseline thorough cleaning, and then their job is to hold the line at that level of cleanliness. They assessed my 1,200 ft^2 house as a 1.5-hour job and it costs me $90 fortnightly.
We just moved to the neighborhood and are looking for a new housekeeper. I would prefer to support a small local business but am not opposed to a large company, e.g. Merry Maids. Any recommendations, neighbors? Thanks!
