Clean yes, tidy no. A paid cleaner only seems to work if you have an ordered and tidy house so they can come in and dust and clean without impediment. The three of us are quite untidy so having to spend two hours tiding up at 7am ready for a cleaner to turn up at 9 was a pain in the butt! Plus of course we could not leave the animals unattended with a cleaner and now we have two kittens running around I would be concerned about them letting them out accidentally.
