Looks like a good deal. Has anyone ever used Swiss Maid? It's through Buytopia which scares me a little.

I have no experience with this merchant, but I'd assume the standard service-companies-run-afoul-with-grop-buys-problem stands. You pay $29. The merchant receives $14.50 (assume a 50-50 split with deal site). 3 bedrooms...even if that takes an hour (I think the standard is 2 - 3 hours)..and unless the employee is donating their time, they are losing money. Fuel costs + employee time + cleaning supplies/material costs + company overhead = negative moolah.

I'm not condoning or sympathizing with the company for having entered into the deal, I'm saying steer clear so you're not posting a "they didn't show up/they half-butted their work" thread in 2 weeks. :)
