How much can a cleaner be reasonably expected to do in 2 hours?

I feel terrible as I've just sacked my cleaner. She has 2 hours to clean a 2 bedroom flat. It's kept clean and tidy in between her visits and there's not a huge amount of clutter.
I ask for the kitchen and bathroom to be cleaned, the bedrooms and living rooms to be dusted and the floors to be hoovered and mopped. Is that too much for the time?

I've never been very happy with my cleaners work. There has often still been sticky food marks on the floor ( from my toddler!), and she never moves anything to clean just cleans around it. Everything has a tiny line of dust around it where it's not been moved to clean. I even found a dead wasp the other day that must have been festering in the kitchen for weeks.

I'm trying a new cleaner next week and I want to be sure that I'm not expecting too much?

Wow! What does she spend 9 hours doing?
