How much do you pay your cleaner?

[Mr MXT]

Whats the going rate for a domestic cleaner (in the north) these days?

We've just moved and our new cleaner has just put her prices up from £15ph to £20ph... seems a bit punchy to me?

[Cow Corner]

We don’t have a cleaner, but considering the minimum wage is just about to go up to £12.21 an hour, and they will have travel and other material costs on top of that, it doesn’t seem ridiculous rate for somebody self employed.

[Danm1les]

We pay £16.00 per hour, 2 hours every other week. We are south east.

[bogie]

£13 p/h for 3.5hrs per week in Notts

[Peterpetrole]

£20 / hour for two hours in Lovejoy country, bit punchy but she does a good job with her own stuff

£12.00 ph in Kent and I’ve just realised that’s below national living wage now. I’m guessing she’ll increase her charges soon.

Edited to add that we provide all the supplies, so appears artificially low.

I think we pay about £18-20/hr, 3-4 hours a week. Uses her own stuff, does a great job with a house with three feral kids in.

[Mogsmex]

was £15 an hour, 2 hrs a week in the south east

we then moved house and dont have one now, really miss her

South East; £20p/h using own materials (their choice!) - seems eminently reasonable vs min wage + travel etc.

[OMITN]

£16 per person hour in the North West.

[Quags]

£20p/h for two hours, does a four bed house.

[rdjohn]

£30 for 2-hours per week. East Cheshire.

I think that we will be paying more before the year is out.

[gtidriver]

£15 per hour 6hours a month Ramsgate area.

[alscar]

South East - £16ph.

[Unexpected Item In The Bagging Area]

£16.50/hour in the NW for a 3-4 hour clean inc materials

[GetCarter]

We've had cleaners in the past, (more time on our hands now, so no longer needed), and the simple question was "How much do you charge?"

Whatever they said, I doubled it.

Cleaning other people's houses is a st job, and deserving of good wages.

I never regretted it, (and always had a really clean house).. and we have made good friends with 'cleaners', one of whom was financing a phD from said work, another studying to be a vet.

Still in touch with one, 25 years later.

[Big Pants]

London - put her rates up this week from £15 to £16 ph.

Worth every penny.

[Pistom]

£94 +VAT for a holiday let which typically takes about 3 man hours to clean.

We were paying £15 an hour, but we'd a couple in a row who were fairly unreliable.

Latest one charges £20 an hour, here two hours at a time. Punctual and pings the weekend before with a proposed time and day. Hasnt been late yet, let alone cancelled.

I think £20 an hour is going to become the norm to be honest. I guess when you factor in travel and supplies, they're not far off minimum wage.

[DaveyBoyWonder]

Yorkshire - just put their prices up to £20 p/h
