Would it make it easier to get a cleaner for an hour a week to pay monthly or to pay cash on the day. I know with a lot of us not having cash anymore is it easier that more services even move to monthly payments? Personally I find it easier to pay monthly... at the moment when I get paid what needs to go out, goes out on the day I get paid, otherwise I probably won't have any money left by the time I need to draw cash out.

Weird post in that it doesn’t relate to the title

Which cleaner will come for one hour?
Unless they live next door it won't be worth it to travel for one hour work ?

I'd cancel the cleaner and get some English lessons.

Surely if money is so tight that you're worried about having enough left to pay the cleaner in week four it would be better to do the cleaning yourself. You'll hardly notice an hour of cleaning a week.

The majority of cleaners will only come for a minimum of 2 hours. If someone has the money to pay for it, it is up to the arrangement with the cleaner - most would prefer to be paid for each clean, rather than wait until the end of the month.

I’ve always paid in cash weekly. I leave it in an envelope on the day of the clean with her name on it.
My DM transfers the amount when her cleaner arrives on the day.

Ask them what is preferred.
