Can anyone give me the phone # of a really good apartment cleaning service? Or even a housekeeper willing to take on a really gross apartment?

Our new place is a dump with trash and rotten food everywhere. I don't want anything to do with it until it's clean and neither does my roommate, but our landlord maintains it's our problem now.

We're getting out of our place Sunday, so if we could hire someone for Saturday or Sunday, that would be fantastic. I know it's a long shot and we're willing to pay for the time and inconvenience?

Please help?

They are primarily a babysitter service, but they clean, too. Get a Korean to call them, they are super fast.

Thanks but when I clicked on the website, my browser warned me that one or more of the pages tries to install malware on your computer!

Use IE. Let me search for other websites for you.

Are you in Seoul?

Thank you so much! I'm on a mac so I don't have IE installed and I'm not sure I want to do it just to access babysos.com, although I'm getting desperate enough that it seems like a good option.

OK here's one:

The price seems pretty standard for Seoul 4 hours for 33,000 or 8 hours for 55,000.

Give them a call they will sort you out.

Yes, we're in Seoul. Thank you so much for all your help! You're a lifesaver.

Oh, I just called both places, and neither works in the area where the apartment is.

There's a bulletin board at Hannam Market where some of the fillipino maids advertise their services in English.

Get with a local and bring them to the security office. Your new apartuh complex has a group of ajummas that clean the elevators, the hallways, the stairs outside, etc. They are available off the clock for a reasonable fee. Mine is 130k a month, but she's employed by my hakwon, not me.
