How much do you pay for your cleaner?

[Thenewcleaner]

To all those who have cleaners, how much do you pay? Where are you based? And do you use a self employed cleaner, a cleaning company or an agency? How many hours a week do you have a cleaner in your home? I am double checking my prices are fair an in keeping with the current market.

£12 an hour
She comes for 3 hours twice a week
Also send my ironing out

£72 a week for 6 hours (4 one day, 2 another) straight to the cleaner. We live in a London suburb.

When she goes away and we've used an agency it's £15ph

Thank you to everyone for your replies

£165 total, 2 people for about 3 hours once a month in the NE. Agency but ethical one which offers full employment contracts, at least living wage and rights such as holiday, sick and pension. I get these rights at work and it is incredibly important to me that this is the case for any cleaners I use. This obviously costs more.

House is spotless each time. I’d rather pay more but not go round afterwards feeling I’d have done it better myself.

I briefly had a self employed cleaner and had an upsetting experience with a privacy type thing - the professionalism of the agency is also important to me (and I mean that I felt assured of it with this agency - I don’t think just being an agency guarantees this or that self employed cleaners never would).

Self employed cleaner £15 per hour in the Midlands, all cleaning products supplied.

I pay my employee £20 per hour. She is meticulous and I trust her to work in a responsible and respectful manner.

I no longer want to clean my house and am therefore grateful to have found someone with whom I feel comfortable.

I think it is only right to pay someone correctly for something I do not want to do.

£14/ph.

£14/h to the owner of the small company. £15 if they use their products I think. Went up by £1/hr after 1st lockdown. Home counties.
