How long would it take to pay someone to do this?

[SoShinySoChrome]

Iron x5 work shirts
Iron x 2 sets of single bedding (sheet pillowcases and duvet)

Put duvet cover on and make beds (the bed would be already stripped.

How long would it take a professional to do this?

It would take me about 3 days...

Half an hour? 45 minutes tops, if the sheets are difficult to iron or the beds are in tricky positions.

I forgot to add + 1 king sized duvet, sheet and pillows.

The beds are not against the walls or anything and they are elasticsted sheets.

45 mins tops, agree with pp.

Absolute max of an hour I’d say.

2nd post relating to your update there, not me contradicting myself!!

Yup. If that was me ( I am cleaner and I do stuff like this ) I would say an hour.

Me? 90 minutes. Have to factor in making a brew (or water with lemon in this weather), strip off to the underwear because ironing in this weather is torment, put the tv/radio on and of course feed/water/fuss the animals or child that need you at the exact time you find five minutes to get shit done.

Why on earth is bedding being ironed?!

People iron bedding? What's the point?!

Ok, rather than start another thread I’ll ask here. How long to

1. Clean x 2 bathrooms
2. Clean wood laminate floor (one large room)
3. Hoover 4 bedrooms and 2 sets of stairs (townhouse)
4. Empty bins and change bin liners.
5. Polish glass table and x3 large mirrors?

I don’t want to be a cf and say ‘do all that in 2 hours’ if it’s not reasonable, but also don’t want to pay over the odds. I know you can’t see the house from here but a rough estimate would be helpful.

I’m sure it would take me at least 1.30-2hr. I spend ages ironing stuff.

I never iron my own bedding but it’s a luxury treat I’m willing to pay for.

3hrs max with the cleaning and vacuuming.

Ironing bedding is a luxury treat haha does it make the bed more comfortable or something ?

I would say 3 hours

Thanks.

It would take me 5 minutes to put bedding on and 40 minutes to iron it (which I why I pay someone to do our ironing). Two hours seems fine though. I could do the cleaning stuff in 1hr

Three hours depending on manliness of bathrooms and organisation ( but that's because I usually spend longer hunting for stuff to do the job than actually doing it. Sigh.. )

Oh dear... The manliness is why I can never find the stuff. I meant cleanliness!

To do the cleaning bits thoroughly (floors of bathroom cleaned and the loo a proper clean rather than a squirt of bleach and tickle with the bog brush) around 3 hours. Combined with the ironing and bed making, I'd say 4 hours all in.

I have a cleaner. She does 2 bathrooms cleaning, 4 bedrooms, kitchen and lounge hoovering and dusting. Takes her 2 hours
She doesn't do the most thorough job though so I'd say time required depends on your standards but 2-3 hours is average.

My cleaner told me that it would take her longer the first week, and maybe the second, but once she got used to the house, it would become quicker.
Could you not say "I'll pay you for 2 hours - I definitely want you to do X, Y, and Z, and, if time, these are also things I'd like doing.... maybe, if it will take you too long, do A, B , and C on a rotating basis, after you've done the X,Y, and Z which I need doing every week"

I’m a cleaner. I would say two hours. It takes longer the first few weeks. Unless ur a really clean person to begin with. But I would say two.

I clean four bathrooms. hoover 6 bedrooms. three flights of stairs empty bins in two and a half to tree hours. They are big rooms and big bathrooms though. The extra half an hour is on the boys I don’t do every week. The weeks I don’t do the extras I bio the hoover round downstairs and do a bit in the kitchen.

So yes. Two hours. Maybe a bit less depends on how deep she cleans. I have to clean a shower that is a night mare. Has little ledges in it all the way around. Takes ages as I have to get the toothbrush out to get into the really fiddly bits. But I’m a very careful cleaner and can’t stand leaving even a tiny part of it dirty.

Also. Do u want the shower doors cleaned and scrubbed every week. I do that and it takes time to get the shower doors with no smudges and get all the water marks off. Then a window squeezey after.

Again. It depends how fussy you are.

I clean another bathroom and the lady doesn’t want that. She just wants it wiped over and move on. So that cleaning job takes less time.

My cleaner takes 5 hours to do our 5 bed 3 bath house. That includes all the ironing and stripping/making the beds.
