How much do you pay your cleaner?

[Mummysgirl12]

My mum is a cleaner - very experienced and very good.

She used to clean a while ago and charged under £10 an hour, in 2016 time she tried to put it up to £10 an hour and some people moaned.

Times have changed and she now charges £13 an hour.

With the cost of living rising, this being my parents only income (my dad is disabled / retired) she was wondering if this sounds about right?

My mum goes above and beyond imo compared to cleaners I’ve paid for (£15ph and £20ph) and will do thorough cleans such as oven / ceilings / skirting / windows / garden work as well as your normal house clean / bed changing / washing and ironing.

She will do the amount of hours people ask for.

Some older women she cleans for ask her to run chores and my mum can be a push over so does. They will reimburse her the cost of items but not pay petrol (or offer to pay for her time) what would you expect her to do in this case?

We are in the Home Counties in a popular/ wealthy commuter belt.

East of England, home countries, 5 bed, 4 bath - 2 cleaners 1.5hrs we pay £60

I've never managed to find reliable cleaners, the last ones I had scratched all my high gloss kitchen cupboards. I find they tend to be very particular first few visits, then get increasingly slap dash.

My elderly Dad has a regular cleaner at his house, she is a lovely person but not great at cleaning - my Dad is happy with her though. She charges £15ph and doesn't provide any products, and doesn't do windows or change beds.
