Interesting. In Finland house cleaning services are usually provided by big companies with native workers and I think they usually do the cleaning while people are away. It's easier to track those companies' reputations than to try to hire a reliable house cleaner yourself. Giving the company a copy of your key is migitated by having two locks (which is the default) and designated hours of service. Perhaps a different kind of an image was evoked in your mind based on where you live?
I probably wouldn't put up with this kind of a scheme either if I had enough stuff worth stealing in my house that I couldn't reliably keep track of and my insurance sucked. I couldn't care less if strangers visit my house while I'm away if they don't steal (or plan to steal) or destroy anything.
(As Finnish), my reaction to the thought of employing a cleaning service is approximately the same as kalium's.
Why do you think it's so?
Not sure. Combination of general preference for privacy, and also awareness of the fact there's a bunch of stuff that a malicious person could do in my apartment to inconvenience me later on that wouldn't be immediately apparent. (E.g. steal something inconspicious enough that I'd just think I'd misplaced it, or look at papers with my personal identity number for use in identity theft.)
