How many hours for cleaner

[Appzy]

We are looking at hiring a cleaner as with a newborn and toddler we are struggling to get it done properly

This would be for a fortnightly clean for the following areas:
4 bedrooms (one currently unused)
Office
2 ensuites
Hallway
Kitchen- diner
Utility room
Living room
Downstairs toilet.

No bedding changes etc needed.

How many hours do you think this would need to get done?

Anyone have any advice?

I would expect that an agency would give you an idea of how many hours. I expect at least 3 depending on how together the house is before they come.

As a single adult in a one bed flat I have two hours but I use a wheelchair so my floors are always filthy by the time she comes and I do need my bed changing

I’d say 4 hours. My cleaner is efficient but she only does kitchen/diner, bathrooms x2, downstairs loo and hoovering hall stairs and landing in 3 hrs

Cleaner here... 3 hours every week. Maybe 4 the first clean...

While it's good to canvass opinion, in practice you ask the people prepared to do it how long it would take and how much they charge.

My cleaner (who I love) does 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, living room, kitchen in 3 hours a week. That includes tidying first. And she most weeks has time to fold and put away whatever washing I've managed to do and throw on the couch ...she's a saint.

We have a similar sized house and cleaners do 4 hours per week including some ironing.

My house is probably silighly smaller (4 beds, one en-suite) and I have a cleaner every week for 3 hours.
