£8.50 an hour X 4 once aweek. 5bed house. Lincs. All floors, bathrooms X 2, plus loo downstairs, sitting, dining and dog room floor ( back kitchen) and kitchen. Does things like skirting boards, fridge, inside windows on rotation. She is efficient, good at her job and I love her!

Dixiechickonhols · 23/11/2021 18:28

£15 an hour 3 hours a fortnight. Cleaning only no ironing or beds.

Antsinmypantsneedtodance · 23/11/2021 18:32

£13 an hour. 3 hours a week.

Cleans whole house including 3 bathrooms and mopping floors and hoovering. Changes bedsheets (we strip beds).

We tidy prior. But she also tidies a little like making cushions nice on sofa. Rolling blankets, straighten towels. Basically makes it feel like i live in a hotel.

User5252727 · 23/11/2021 18:33

£35 a week. About 5 of them come at once and they're done in 20 mins or so. It's bloody brilliant.

Hugeknockers · 23/11/2021 18:36

£20 hour. South east. Brilliant cleaners but hideously expensive and they’ve never let me down in years. Now they’ve increased the hourly rate I don’t pay them on DD, and so if I need to cancel, I don’t pay.

Still seems expensive compared to others…

HesterShaw1 · 23/11/2021 18:37

@GertietheGherkin

£25 an hour and she does 4 hrs a week

We pay her a further £20 an hour to do 2 hrs of laundry/ ironing

Wtf?
HesterShaw1 · 23/11/2021 18:39

I might change careers

becarefulouttheretoday · 23/11/2021 18:42

£25 for 2 hours and they bring their own cleaning products.

Prior to that I paid £46 to an agency every month and then £20 for 2 hours to the person who cleans and I had to provide all equipment then wash cloths after. Much prefer our current arrangement.

PooWillyNameChange · 23/11/2021 19:13

£15/hour - three hours a week

Brings own cleaning products and hoover, does bathrooms, floors, kitchen, dusting and tidying if she has time. Our house is pretty massive so she has to prioritise. I'm hoping next year we can find room in the budget to have her come twice a week.

£50 for 3 hours every week. She does the whole house, 3 bedrooms and en-suite, main bathroom and downstairs loo. We have two long haired dogs so lots of hoovering. She is super reliable and worth her weight in gold. Have an ironing lady too who charges £15/hour but she does the most amazing amount in an hour so it’s rarely more than an hour a week.

Cherryonthetop2019 · 23/11/2021 21:49

£15 x 4 hours a week.

DeepaBeesKit · 23/11/2021 22:43

£13 an hour (south east near london and it's only just gone up). 3h per week and they do a brilliant job tidying and cleaning a 4 bed house - bit of tidying inc loading odd bits into dishwasher, wipe kitchen surfaces, hoover/spray mop floors, clean 2 x bathrooms & downstairs cloakroom. I saw them wiping the glass panes in interior glass doors this week but they don't do that every week. They also empty all the bins including recycling and bathroom bins.

DeepaBeesKit · 23/11/2021 22:46

Ps they wipe lounge/bedroom surfaces too.

CheesyWeez · 23/11/2021 22:58

£45 for a flat-rate fortnightly clean of 3-bed 2-bathroom house. 2 or 3 people come with all their cleaning products and equipment. If 2 people come they stay an hour, they burst in the door and clean up a storm and have a good system.

They are reliable and I know the small firm pays them properly.
Everything gets vacuumed/wiped and usually 1 bed gets changed (we strip the bed and leave the clean sheets out.).
South East.

KUdos6 · 23/11/2021 23:00

I can’t believe some of these rates! £25 an hour is the equivalent of £48k a year for a 40 hr with four weeks off. Madness.

Hairbrush123 · 23/11/2021 23:12

MIL’s cleaner gets paid £13 an hour. She does four hours a week.

She is Worcestershire based!

Hairbrush123 · 23/11/2021 23:14

She vacuums, changes sheets, cleans the window sills, dusts and cleans the bathroom. I think it’s more than four hours a week but she only comes once a week

amsadandconfused · 23/11/2021 23:15

£15 Hr for two hours a week…absolutely worth every penny! South East l

ladamanera · 23/11/2021 23:20

£15 per hour, 6 hours a week London

PoppyMonth · 23/11/2021 23:28

£15 an hour, 4 hours pw.

She doesn’t iron but changes beds, cleans bathrooms, vacuums, dusts, cleans kitchen and washes hard floors. Puts washer on and dryer for towels and bed stuff.

caringcarer · 23/11/2021 23:38

£12.50 ph, that is what she advertised for and she brings own cleaning products. Vaccines hall, stairs, landing, bathroom, 1 child's room, dining room, lounge, kitchen and downstairs cloakroom. Steam mops cloakroom, kitchen, dining room, lounge, hall and bathroom. Changes sheets and duvet cover on child's bed once a week. Polish dining table and coffee table. Dust unit. Wipe over windowsills. Clean cloakroom and bathroom. Polish up light switches, door handles, wipe over work surfaces, bleach sink and toilets. Wipe any marks off paintwork on doors and any cobwebs. Once a month clean silver. She does 3 hours each week and occasionally extra if fridge and microwave clean once a month.

fitflopqueen · 23/11/2021 23:42

£15/ph x 2hrs/week.
Bathroom, kitchen - surfaces and floors, elsewhere dust and hoover through. This is for an elderly relative who is very tidy but doesn't see so well now.

Saysama · 23/11/2021 23:48

£15ph, fortnightly, and she stays as long as she needs to. Generally five or six hours. We pay for cleaning products, but she buys them. She does absolutely everything. She’s been my cleaner for almost a decade and she’s wonderful.

HesterShaw1 · 25/11/2021 11:28

Anyone else now just LONGING for a cleaner? 😁
