How much time would a cleaner need?

6 replies

Hello, I'm hoping to hire a cleaner once a fortnight but I don't know how much time they would reasonably need?

We are a pet free, child free, small roomed home. We slack on "proper" cleaning but keep things tidy, wipe surfaces day to day etc.

We would like:
Hard floors downstairs swept and mopped (small hall, kitchen diner, living room)
Carpeted upstairs hovered (stairs, small landing, bedroom, box)
Bathroom thoroughly cleaned (including walk in shower and bath, separate toilet)
One other job each time which will depend on what most needs doing (for example wipe down window frames or dust skirting or clean kitchen units.)

If they came fortnightly would this be 2 hours? 3? 4?

Thank you for your help!

I am a cleaner - 2 hours max
Bathroom should take 30-45 minutes depending on buildup/mess.
Hoovering and mopping would also depend on how much stuff is on the floor to be picked up, moved back etc. x

2 hours

A good cleaner should be able to do that easily in 2 hours, provided the areas are clear of clutter. I can easily spend 40 minutes just on bathroom. My bath is about 20 years old and takes a bit longer now to get clean.

2 hours. We have 2 cleaners come fortnightly for usually an hour and 15 mins. We have a 3 bed house and they get it all done in that time

Thank you very much everyone, that're really helpful, sounds like 2 hours is the consensus!
