We did an every other week cleaning with the cleaning authority for about the last five years (with about a year off 2020-2021).

When I ask them to reschedule, they get back to me right away. This time I asked them to clean my guest bedroom but skip the living room because I have all the present wrapping going on in there, and they did it, no problem. Nothing is ever broken by these people and the house smells fresh when they are done.
