To be shocked by this post on my local mums Facebook group? !

"Does this exist? I am looking for a cleaner that works per job and not per hour. So, until I am 100% satisfied I can ask her to re clean a room say even 10 times (or more). Same for Windows etc. Or do they all work per hour only? Please let me know. Thanks."

Would someone really ask their cleaner to keep re cleaning a room until they were happy?! Sounds a bit like they actually want a servant, not a cleaner.

I am a member of a local facebook group and people will often ask if they can recommend a cleaner/gardener etc and you will find loads of replies.
A woman recently posted 'looking for a decorator I'm extremely fussy etc etc' not one reply. Sounds like this woman. Any excuse not to pay or complain.
I'm also a cleaner but I don't do domestic cleaning. When I did I had one woman observe how I cleaned.. e.g using the nozzle to go around stair edges. ' No Dona you do the edges first' people like that really should clean their own homes

She doesn't want a cleaner she wants someone she can bully on a regular basis.

I'm looking for a person who's as downtrodden as me. But I want her this person to be even lower than me so I have some respect.

Is what this advert should really say.

While she sounds like her reasons are suspicious, you can of course pay per job for domestic cleaning

I pay my window cleaner guy a fixed amount not per hour
same for overn cleaning people, you pay them per job
Carpet shampoo firms charge per job
An in between tenants or terminal clean is a fixed price

It's quite common, and not at all unreasonable

[SandyPantz]

And in theory if my window guy didn't do a good job I'ld show him and ask him to sort it and not expect to pay again..
but I don't stand over him or go around with a magnifying glass when he's finished.. he gets on with it and if I can see better out the windows at the end I'm happy

there's nothing wrong on paper with what she's asking for, but if I was looking for a job I'ld not apply to her!

I worked with someone, who agreed to pay a tiler by the hour to tile her bathroom instead of a fee for the whole job. He took forever to do it. We used to ask her every morning if he was still there.

I saw this post earlier too but then it became unavailable. How disappointing lol.

Is she Stanley Kubrick reincarnate?

Well that is universal. In front of my place I watched as a couple of painters took three days to paint about 12 square meters of wall!

We use a cleaning company. All their staff are employed and on an hourly wage that is about the living wage.
They charge us per clean and always send two people to do a clean, the idea is that they check each others work. The house is always clean, sometimes they take 3 hours, sometimes longer but the cleaners do not mind as they are paid, we are happy as it is a fixed price per clean.

Yup it seems to have gone from the site now. Maybe it was a bad turn of phrase but it sounded a shocking way to treat someone.

Ah don't worry, cleaners can pick and choose their clients, she wouldn't have had any takers, she was just dreaming (a really weird dream!)
