how many cleaner hours do I need?

[whois]

Hello
I'm looking at getting a cleaner weekly for 2 hours per week.

I have no idea what I can expect to get done in this time, can anyone help?

Live in a one bed, but (relatively) large flat.

I would like the bathroom cleaned including mirror, toilet, sink, surfaces, bath, tiles and floor.
Bathroom is reasonably small and doesn?t have lots of nooks and crannies, everything is boxed in.

Hallway and bedroom hovered. Surfaces in bedroom cleaned - in reality this is the top of 2x bedside tables, one chest of drawers and two windowsills so not a big job.

The living space is an L shaped room with a sitting area, dining area and kitchen. I would like the kitchen cleaned (sink, surfaces, floor). And the rest of the room cleaned which involves hovering the rug, cleaning wood dining table and glass coffee table, cleaning the wood floor and dusting quite a big set of IKEA cubes, plus the TV stand and window ledges.

Do people think all of that could be done in 2 hours?

Do you think there might also be time to change the bed sheets too (job I hate- super king duvet and six pillow cases).

I'd be happy to have the kitchen and lliving space area cleaned alternate weeks if it meant the bed could be changed I think.

I forgot to say the flat is very tidy so not much to clean around except when dusting the storage cube things, no dirty plates left around etc.

That seems reasonable to me. But what I would do, is on the cleaner's first day, give her the list of jobs, and ask her how long she thinks it'll take her, and say that you're prepared to pay for 2 hours normally, but don't mind if she goes over on the first week or two while she gets a routine. Then you can work out if you need to sacrifice the living space for the bed sheets etc.

I think 2 hours is more than plenty to do all that. When I had cleaners we had 2 of them for 2 hours, we live in a 6 bed 4 bath house.

Thanks for the responses :-)

Your list of things that will need cleaning sounds a bit basic - what about the kitchen cupboards (inside and the doors), behind furniture, sides of furniture? For 2 hours a week in that size of flat you should be able to ask for some deep cleaning too.
