How many hours to clean this much of the house?

[Supsista]

For context it's a 5 bedroom house but not a big house generally. By which I mean in this town there's enormous 5 bedroom houses that cost 3 times as much as ours (and indeed 4 bedrooms houses twice the size).

3 of the 5 bedrooms could fit a double bed in but you would get absolutely bugger all else in there.

It has a bathroom which you can't really get two adults using at the same time.
And a wet room which is about the same size.

To clean the two bathrooms and hoover the house (no dining room) minus one of the small bedrooms, how many hours would that take?

It personally took me 1 hour the last time I did it.
I figured that a cleaner would take 2.

"It personally took me 1 hour the last time I did it."

Well surely there's your answer...

Depends how clean you want your bathrooms. If you want all the tiles wiped properly and shower screen smear-free as well as toilet and bath and floor cleaned, then there's at least 15 minutes gone there...more like 20 really.

Hoovering....4 bedrooms, hallways and sitting room isn't that quick either. Is that all you want done though? No dusting or anything?

How long is a piece of string? I can clean a 5 bedrooms furnished house in 5 hours (end of tenancy) sometimes it will take ten. Depends on how clean it is to begin with!

To do it properly, 4 hours. What my mum would have called 'a lick and a promise' would still take more than an hour

Washing down paintwork? Hoovering all carpets ? Cleaning switches etc? Windows cleaned internally?

Unless it is immaculate it would take much more thAn 1 hour. Cleaning 2 bathrooms properly would take that long

How on earth did you do a 5 bed house in an hour? What is your definition of cleaning op?

I have a small 3 bed townhouse and paid a cleaner to do 2 hours. She got lots done, but said if I wanted a full deep clean in a house my size I'd need about 7 hours.

In the 2 hours she did my kitchen (less the pots but I told her I'd do those anyway), bathroom, and the master bedroom

For a cleaner I’d guess about 2 hours for an average 3 bed with one bathroom, so more for a 5 bed with 2 bathrooms.

3 or 4 hours, I would say

I'd like to know how you clean if you can do a 5 bed in an hour. I can do a 4 bed (my own in just over 2 hours) but a more in-depth with paint work, doors and skirtings it takes a bit longer.

Do you have totally clear surfaces and everything put away with no clutter because that could narrow it down.

And hour, I struggle to believe. Even a bathroom with its spray, wash, dry and buff takes a little while. Depending on kitchen it has to be washed and dried to stop streaks and those God awful gloss kitchens take more time.

2 hours is probably reasonable, if you don't want a thorough clean.

Is it the Borrowers' house?

An hour? That's not a clean house.

You must have done a very surface job to do all that in an hour. I would think each room needs at least 30-45 min each to properly clean.
Bedroom- tidy cupboards/wipe, wipe windowsills, dust all over, change bedding, mop/vacuum
Bathroom- full scrub all over
That's a proper clean.
And is she only doing rooms or bathrooms? I would think a full day is at the minimum more reasonable.

An hour is a tidy up. Not a clean.

I have 5 bedrooms, six rooms downstairs and three bathrooms plus a loo. It takes my cleaner 4 hours to clean it all. During lockdown, it took me about double that and it still looked far less clean than she gets it.

Sorry, just reread your post again. To hoover my whole house and just clean two bathrooms could be done in two hours, if there's no dusting etc.

An hour? That cant be proper cleaning, more a
case of hiding very obvious dirt.
IMO a quick fist at high level for any cobwebs bits, dust on top of windows and door frames and window sills, dusting furniture, skirting boards (which can often be like crime scenes), dusting mirrors pictures etc light fittings, hoovering stairs, carpets, washing floors in kitchens and bathrooms, cleaning bathrooms and tiles plus kitchen unit fronts and general kitchen areas is a good general clean. Hoovering the rooms and cleaning the kitchen us something to do every day or two as maintenance.
I'd think a cleaner would bed four hours yo do your house, they wont know what yo fo if you just expect them to Hoover bedrooms and give the bathrooms a quick wipe.

I have a medium sized house.

I cleaned 3 bathrooms and vacuumed upstairs and that took about an hour. Maybe a tad more. Then to do downstairs properly i would need another 90mins

My cleaner, who comes fortnightly during the summer, does 3 hours. She doesn’t do everything- for example dusting the light fixtures or hoovering under the sofas cushions is done every few weeks

And that’s not skirting boards, pictures, glass, cupboard fronts.

To be fair the OP did say to 'Clean two bathrooms and hoover the house' so no actual cleaning as such other than the bathrooms?

Depends how deeply you're cleaning it really! I would probably spend 20 minutes in each bathroom and another 20 to hoover everywhere. That would be a really good clean but then I don't hang around. For a cleaner it probably wouldn't be worth doing unless they charged for 2 hours

That wouldn't include anything else such as dusting/mopping etc. anywhere else in the house though

So it's literally:

• vacuum throughout (assuming you've left all floors clear)
• clean bathroom
• clean wetroom

I'd say 2h is about right as long as neither bathroom was manky.

I have four bedroom house, and it take me two hours to do the upstairs and an hour to do the downstairs - two reception rooms and downstairs loo. It then takes another hour to change all bedding. If I do a proper clean of the bathroom, that takes half an hour.
I must be so slow
