Can I ask how much you pay for your cleaner and how much work do they do and the size of the home.

£14.50 an hour for 2 hours a week. Deep cleans two bathrooms and one toilet downstairs then if there is any time left a quick wipe of the kitchen. Honestly she’s a bit slow but the standard is high so I don’t mind as it saves me doing it

Freetodowhatiwant · 03/01/2021 18:56

£12 an hour. She is brilliant and lovely but does 5 hours and I can't afford to carry that on for a long time. She does a lot in that time though. I think I will ask her to do less and do it in three hours soon.

Mummadeeze · 03/01/2021 18:57

£40 for 3 hours every fortnight.

finkking · 03/01/2021 18:57

£16 an hr, minimum of 2 hrs.

CRbear · 03/01/2021 18:59

£12.5 an hour for two hours every two weeks. 2 bed, 1 bath house.

Wannabewriter · 03/01/2021 18:59

@Mummadeeze what does your cleaner manage in that time? I’m considering one but would really prefer fortnightly rather than weekly.

My current one has put prices up to £20 an hr minimum 2 hrs from £13 and she hoovers mops floors dusts and does a general clean in the bathroom and kitchen not sure if I should look else where. In northern if that makes a difference.

£30 a fortnight for 3 hours. She does downstairs toilet, bathroom, kitchen/ diner, lounge, stairs and landing, and 2 bedrooms.

Pyewhacket · 03/01/2021 19:05

£15 an hour for 4 hours a week.

dontlikebeards · 03/01/2021 19:06

£15 per hour, comes once a fortnight.
Brings all her own cleaning products and equipment, this was important for me so I didn't need to think about having the right products in the house.
She does 2 bathrooms and downstairs toilet, mops floors and hoovers. Any time left she does a quick dust and general wipe round.

dontlikebeards · 03/01/2021 19:07

Forgot to add, she does 2 hours

ivfbeenbusy · 03/01/2021 19:07

£15/hr minimum 2 hours - fortnightly

Bathroom cleaned
Kitchen and utility cleaned, floors mopped
3 bedrooms dusted and vacuumed
Wooden floors downstairs vacuumed and mopped
Cleans the windows inside if she has time left
Lounge and dining area dusted/wiped down,
Floors vacuumed and mopped

Depending on the cleaner they send - you can tell Which ones have young kids - there is one that tidies and wipes down my 4 year olds play kitchen 🤣

Beamur · 03/01/2021 19:09

Current cleaner charges £15 p/h and comes for 3 hours every other week.
Previous cleaner did 1.5 hrs a week and charged £12 an hour.
Both v good. Effectively part cleans my house as even 3 hours doesn't do it all.

iMatter · 03/01/2021 19:18

£11 per hour.

6 hours a week and 2 hours ironing. She also cleans my office every week (2hours).

Large 5 bed house and 6 desk office

BeautyAndTheBump1 · 03/01/2021 19:32

I think you need to share your location / ask for peoples location, because a cleaner in London wont be the same as a cleaner in a small town up north etc

TheChosenTwo · 03/01/2021 19:36

SE here.
£45 for 3 hours every week. 5 bedroom house (although not big!). She does the basics in every room, nothing is deep cleaned during the weekly cleans but twice a year when we are away on. 2 week holiday she does a deep clean for one of the weeks and a standard clean the other week.
Just keeps us on the straight and narrow and means we can do other cleaning jobs at the weekends if needed (I give the bathrooms and loos a quick clean around most days) but it takes the pressure off and we don’t spend our weekends doing cleaning.
She gets a good bonus at Christmas and on her birthday and she’s like one of the family now. She’s been with us for over 10 years I think, we’d be lost without her.

OhSweetNuthin · 03/01/2021 19:39

£12 per hour, 5 hours a week.
She does a full clean for 3 hours at the start of the week, then comes and does 2 hours doing bathrooms and the bedding just before the weekend. 3 bed detached, family of four. We're south east.

hotchoco · 03/01/2021 19:44

Location is Yorkshire and we have a pet

wannabewriter she does general cleaning in the bathroom, kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, hallway and study, hoovers and mops. Sometimes she does inside the oven but not a deep clean or cleans out the fridge.

GarlicMonkey · 03/01/2021 19:49

£15ph once a week. Sometimes 2hrs, sometimes 5, depends what needs doing. She tidies, sorts & organises as well as a general downstairs (5 rooms) clean.

mowglika · 03/01/2021 19:50

£10 an hour for 3 hours and she does a 4 bedroom house - hoovering, mopping, dusting and 3 bathroom/toilets. She is a stickler for right angles as well, I love her Smile

Merryoldgoat · 03/01/2021 19:50

£30 for three hours weekly but really she’s done in 2.5 and goes then.
