How much should I pay a cleaner?

[onomatopoeia]

We pay £15 for someone to come in to the office 2 hours a week and talk about her great grandchildren. Nominally she is a cleaner.

Found her from an advert in the window of a local newsagent.

Think I have one sorted...

She needs flexible hours, which I can do during the day. I've known her for about three years and she is a matron at a private school.

£7.50 an hour. Job done.

Thanks for the advice

I basically do all that you want, except ironing (bad enough doing my own), and get £40 for roughly 3 hours work (can be 15 mins+/- depending on the state of the house)

Buy a decent vaccum and spend 4 hours one weekend making your place absolutely spotless. Then spend 5-10 minutes every day cleaning up after yourself and vaccum the house once a week which takes 10 minutes.

What the hell is wrong with some people?

Time?, or, the lack of it?

Clean as you go and it takes no time at all. I can understand washing and ironing because that can take ages but if you have time to cook then you certainly have time to clean.

If you don't have time to cook at least a few times per week, then that sucks I guess.

I generally grab coffee and breakfast on the way to the office, then I work until around 6pm. I'm in, then straight back out again to the gym. Shower and then either out promoting or socialising in the evening.

What with sleeping, showering, eating in little ten minute windows and never being around to sort everything out - I could do with the help. My time is more valuable employed elsewhere, and paying someone else to clean my bog and iron my pants is good value for me

Weekends I like to completely get away and/or relax. Those two days are important for me
