How much do you pay for your cleaner?

[WraithBabe]

Just out of interest. I’ve been quoted £100 for 3 hours, 2 cleaners working together. It seems a bit steep, or am I tight? Thanks

£50 for 3 hours, I supply the products. South London.

Duh. It's 6 hours of cleaning. It's under £17 an hour.

I don't care, My comment still stands. £100 for 3 hours of cleaning is ludicrous.

Do you really not understand how to count?

Cleaning is big business nowadays.
You are paying a company for their services. The company needs to make a profit.
I doubt the cleaners themselves are earning huge money.
I'm not sure it's a great job for many of the cleaners. People expect one hell of a lot for their money in a short space of time and it is demanding on the body to clean efficiently and quickly for enough hours a week to make a wage.

It's selling a lot of hard working ( mainly) women short all these promises of cleaning a 5 bed house in 3 hours or whatever.
And because the client is paying hard earned money, they expect good on these promises with (polished) brass knobs on.

£12.50 an hour for 2 hours a week. Works out at £100 a month. She's amazing

£15 per hour. 4 hour clean but usually 2 cleaners so only takes 2 hours. Not a London borough but inside the M25.

£12.50/hour for 2 hours a week, East Miss

An independent cleaner I know charges £20 ph.

In the summer a relative helps her out with Airbnb properties so it's double.

South. £15ph. She originally said she needed 4 hrs a week but I often see her only doing 3. And I only wanted high traffic areas, bathrooms and kitchen done, no dusting of pictures or children's bedrooms.

So I've just gone to 3. I'm not massively impressed but she also cleans for next door neighbour and I'm likely to bump into her if I sack her!

I prefer her to use my products. Hers made my asthma terrible. I'd come home and the house would smell of sweet flowers 😨

£13/hour, I provide all products.

Shes bloody amazing, dont know how I managed without her.

£18 per hour here. A team of two for 2 hours.

£17.50 ph here and worth every penny

£50 for 2 cleaners who take about 90 mins to clean most of a 4 bed 3 bathroom house, Glasgow. Worth every penny!

£12 an hour, north London. Massively below the going rate for the area but she flatly refuses to raise it. Believe me, I’ve tried.

£18ph, mix of her and my cleaning products

£17 per hour and they bring own products, hoover etc

South west- 17/hr using my cleaning products and I pay her direct- there’s no agency/ company.

£12 an hour; she doesn’t charge enough really. I pay £30 a week for 2.5hrs of cleaning.

£18 an hour, 5 hours week. Yours sounds good!

£20 an hour.

About £18/hour now, which I think is probably a bit low for where we live (outer London borough). She does a 5.5 hour shift every week, which must be knackering. But I think a £100 job without the down time of travelling between jobs is something she sees as attractive.

£15 an hour

£15 an hour.

Just outside the M25 and I pay £17 p/h. I provide the products. I know she's charging more recent clients £18 p/h and I expect her to put my rates up soon. I think she's giving me a bit of credit as she said she was looking for some more clients, I put a recommendation on the village FB page and that led to 20 hours extra work for her a week and it's all within a 5 min drive of each other so hardly any time wasted travelling.
