How much does your cleaner charge?

Hi. I’ve been a self employed cleaner for 6 years and charge £15 an hour (East Midlands). I’ve never increased my hourly rate and was wondering how much your cleaners charge as I’m thinking of increasing my rate. I supply all cloths and cleaning supplies.

£15/hour, brings her own supplies. I’m in Cambridge.

I pay £15 an hour and the cleaner uses my products.

I would not expect to pay more for products that I would have in the house.

They charge for the clean rather then per hour but also works out at about £15 - it takes 2 of them around 90 mins to do a full
house clean and they charge £45, fortnightly for a 3 bed semi with 2 bathrooms

They used to charge £10 pre Covid

North Yorkshire
My last one charged £20 without product and more if she supplied it.
My new one has priced per month to maintain the house and hours will vary week to week as required.

10 years ago I was paying £15 with product so I’d say increase what you charge.

£55 an hour if naked 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤣🤣

£20/hour using my materials, though she supplies her own cloths. South East. You've been charging £15/hour for 6 years so its time for an increase I'd say. especially as you are supplying the materials and cloths.

I happily pay our self employed cleaner £25PH for 3hrs a fortnight. Brings all her own stuff, but I don't mind if she uses mine too. She's amazing! We are in the SW and I've had questionable experiences before so I'm happy to pay for an excellent job done and reliability. When I moved house a big cleaning company here were quoting what equated to £45ph and theres no way that was reaching the cleaners doing the work, it would've gone on overheads. I think you're underselling yourself OP!

£25 an hour. She uses a mix of her stuff and ours.

I don’t know anyone who pays less that £18 an hour for their cleaner so I’d definitely put your prices up and then increase each year.
