To ask how much you pay for your cleaner

[hotchoco]

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

£10 ph. 4 hours a week. 4 bed house over 3 floors. She changes beds sheets, dusts/hoovers/mops and windows are done once a month. Wipes bathroom and kitchen over (I do them daily or more myself).

She's great.

I'm in the West Midlands btw. Have one cat and 2 teens age 16 & 14.

She charges £10 per hour. Does 3 hours.
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, study, playroom, dining room, living room, kitchen, utility area.

£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

@Northernmummy80

OMG sack them! There is nothing wrong with the price, but they should be doing much more than that in two hours.

@UsernameSaved As I said, I overpay each time, usually by about £6/7 per clean and occasionally more. Her quoted rate really isn’t up to me, what I give her to take home is and has now been explained, twice.

Well if she works for an agency you need to consider modern slavery as she is on less than the minimum wage.

@UsernameSaved she doesn’t. The average she takes home from me is £11-12/ hr (due the overpayments and rounding up). What exactly do you want me to do here?

A team of 2 comes once a fortnight to do the entire house. 3 bed semi-d, 2 bathrooms, includes hoovering throughout and mopping kitchen/diner and hall. Costs €110 per clean. But a very good job is done (there are 2 teams that we seem to get all the time - 1 gives a really good clean but leaves everything as it was, the other gives a decent clean but likes to organise dressing tables/dining room dresser etc like a hotel room). And while they don't do laundry, if you leave clean sheets on the bed, they will change the sheets and leave the dirty ones ready to wash. It takes about 90 minutes -2 hours (we used to never see them, but as we now WFH, we either have to isolate in our working rooms with the door closed while they clean the rest of the house (and not those we're in) or sometimes we might go for a walk and do phonecalls to pass that time, or just sit in the car to work on laptop using home wifi works ok somedays).

Charges £11 per hour, 2hours/week. I quickly rounded it up to £25 per week as he does a really good job. Deep cleans 2 bathrooms and the kitchen and dusts and vacuums all the communal areas. 4 bed semi-detached, Kent. Own supplies apart from mop and vacuum cleaner

5 bed / 3 bathroom - £50 once a week for between 2-3 hours. Cleans all bathrooms, hoovers, dusts, mops kitchen, hall, utility room. Does all kitchen surfaces, empties all bins and recycling containers. Takes any washing down if it's dry from the air we. Does a good clean, each week will move different large furniture items like sofa, beds etc and hoovers behind them. I make sure al surfaces are clear, toys put away and I clean the kitchen as I go each day so nothing really dirty to deal with. I've had a couple of cleaners and this was is the most expensive but she cracks on and does a fantastic job so she's worth every penny.
