Anyone have a cleaner?
Discussion
We have a cleaner and pay £10 and hour direct. She does three hours a week and we rotate what she does depending on what's needed that week, changing sheets, ironing, deep cleaning certain rooms, quick once over everywhere, etc.
Well worth the money. Yes the wife could do it but she'd spend all her time cleaning and we'd rather be doing something else.
Had the cleaner for a few years now, previous one through an agency was a useless and lazy cow and more expensive, she lasted two weeks.
We're in Yorkshire

My mum has 2 cleaners one who works 10am - 4pm daily and another who does a Mon & Friday. When ever I go round and ask my mum what's she's being doing all day she says Cleaning!
I have no idea what they must do all day if my mum still needs to be doing cleaning especially when there are only 3 people in the house!

We have a great Eastern European lady.
She takes ages to hoover though... sometimes a whole day to do the house..
Mind you she is Slovac

Yep - 2 hours a week, £11 per hour in SW London area - mixed feelings about them generally - we have a good one now, but we have had some REALLY thick people before - one left the back door wide open, another would constantly forget to double lock the front door, and another after taking our keys decided not to ever turn up, or return the keys...
You have to remember these people generally are not really that reliable, much like builders for me, they need to be monitored as if left to their own devices things will be left, idiotic behaviour will be exhibited, and eventually something very drastic could happen, such as my two cats not coming back when we realised the back door was wide open the whole day.

What size of house does she have that needs 6 hours of cleaning daily? I have no idea what they must do all day if my mum still needs to be doing cleaning especially when there are only 3 people in the house!
Did have and planning on getting another. Will probably get about 3 hours a week. I think we paid about £10 an hour to the agency who basically paid the cleaner minimum wage ,it was a bit of a funny arrangement but it doesnt half make life easier to come home to a clean house on a Friday night with the weekend ahead and no rubbish cleaning jobs to do.
I did about a year of using "handy" but in the end got so f
ked off with the constant chopping and changing of cleaners and now have a nice polish girl via "housekee" who comes Monday, 4 hours, has a key and makes the place spotless, all washing ironing folding putting away.
Think I pay £12ph
