Nightmares about abusive maid, terrors about maid’s violence to toddlers, and reports about runaway maids, there are so many tales about stay home maids that there are books published about it and made it to a genre of its own literally. Malaysians are petrified of stay home maids. Read this article about routine housekeeping services in Malaysia and why it is gaining popularity in Malaysia households. Having a full-time maid at home is still a luxury for most of the Malaysians, getting a foreign domestic helper can cost up to RM15,000 – RM20,000 for a start, and not cheap to maintain with the plummet of Malaysian ringgit – starting from RM1,500 per month at least, not including the accommodation, logistic, and meals being provided up to 7 days a week. Not to mention most 3-room apartments would have problems giving a proper space to the stay home maid. Even if you do, how much privacy and your own comfort that you’re willing to give up for that Milo Ais on demand? Most owners give up the idea of having a stay home domestic helper or maid solely based on these two reasons. Hence, having a part time cleaning service seems to be a cheaper option, and gives homeowners the freedom of having their own space for themselves and family. If you have forgone the idea of having a stay home maid, cleaning the entire house personally can be a daunting task for most people.
