Cleaner 2 hours a fortnight

Is it worth it? How much could they get done? Ideally I'd like bedding changed (mine and ds) bathroom, toilet and kitchen done.

Round here you wouldn’t get a cleaner to agree to those hours, it’s not worth their petrol money!

That’s how often mine comes. My house is 2 bedroom 1 bathroom and she does the kitchen, bathroom, all the floors, bedroom mirror, dusts, and straightens up the living room cushions etc. She is amazing and possibly super human though.

Completely worth it. That’s how often we have a cleaner round and it’s made such a difference - I can keep on top of things and no longer feel like there’s always loads more to do than I have time for. She does the bathroom, loo, kitchen and a hoover around.

I have three hours a fortnight and with it my sanity.

Absolutely worth it!
Though a lot of them have a 3h minimum.
But it is a game changer! Mine changes my bedding, cleans 2 bathrooms, kitchen, hoovers everything, sometimes cleans windows, its great!

That's exactly what we used to have (would LOVE to again but not in a position to at the mo). She did our main bathroom, hoovered landing and stairs, cleaned kitchen and small sitting room/ dining room off the kitchen, lodger's shower room and mopped all floors downstairs.

I tried to stay on top of it in between, but if I did nothing, then it meant that at least they got a really good clean when she came.

She did next door's house so was more than happy to come to us for just 2 hours afterwards.

Mine comes for 2.5 hours which is her minimum every two weeks. She does a deeper clean of the bathroom, landing, stairs, downstairs shower room and toilet, the front room and mops the kitchen/diner, that takes two hours and then she does other bits for 30 mins - glass doors, pet food station etc. I maintain what she has done in between. It really helps.
