To get a cleaner in a one bedroom flat?

[gamme]

I’d like to pay someone to come in for maybe 2 hours a week to do a clean of the kitchen and bathroom, dust all surfaces, and iron 8 shirts for work.

AIBU to do this? DP tells me it’s a waste of money. I do 70% of this work.

If you are both paying for it, of course it's a waste of dp's money, he's getting the labour for free currently.

Why not,if you can afford it and it makes life easier 🙂

It doesn't matter how big your house is if you both want a cleaner.

If one of you didn't work and the other didn't agree to a cleaner I'd possibly think that was fair enough but depends on circumstances.

Tell DP he's not pulling his weight so you're getting a cleaner.

What is the 30% that your dp does? Perhaps you could swap and he does what you do and you do his 30% jobs? Seeing he doesn’t want a cleaner he should be fine about this

In my experience, the only people who oppose getting a cleaner are those who are not currently doing much cleaning. It's always worth it if you can afford it.

Either you both pay a cleaner or your husband takes on these chores. If he doesn't do the chores, then you're getting a cleaner. Only choice I would be giving.

Tell your oh to do the work then because you won't be doing it anymore. If he doesn't want to do it get the cleaner. He says it's a waste of money because currently he's getting that labour from you for free

I'm an ex professional cleaner and I have had clients with one bedroom flats. You can really achieve a lot in two hours and I've been told its fantastic to come home to a clean flat and that it makes the week ahead so much easier. Go for it, you deserve it!
