[UK] Who here pays for a cleaner?

[topcat]

Just looking at doing some market research. Where better to start.

How much do you pay?
Do you pay per hour or per visit?
How did you find them? Online/friend/agency/local ad etc?
How often do you get them to come?

I get off the computer and do it myself.

1. Nothing she does it automatically
2. Depends on how you look at it
3. Met in a pub, got to know each other from there
4. Personal question indeed, probably never but it pleases me thats what counts.

On a serious note, the day im able to pay someone to clean my house would either be the day that im too rich to worry about the cost or the day when im in-capble of doing it myself.

We use hassle.com - great service and our current cleaner is amazing.

She usually comes every other week and I think the rate is £10/hr.

I got an eastern european cleaner in, she was very cheap, but it took her 8 hours to hoover, she was a Slovak

Hoover what exactly?

£10/hr is very reasonable. Hassle can't make much off each clean.

How much do you pay? £10 per hour
Do you pay per hour or per visit? Per visit, we call it £20 and it normally ends up about 2 hours
How did you find them? Online/friend/agency/local ad etc? Family member!
How often do you get them to come? Every Friday

Never in my life thought we'd employ a cleaner, but things came together - me and the wife both work full-time, and we've got a little toddler tearing the place up who takes up most of our spare time (plus we're both always knackered from work). We also moved into a larger house last November. Then a family member started taking on some extra cleaning work. So everyone's happy It's pretty great to have a sparkling clean house at the start of every weekend

How much do you pay? £20ph
Do you pay per hour or per visit? 3 hours

I hate when she comes as I prefer it on my own and try to go out.
she's always trying to sneak a look at my screen as if I'm on xhamster all day - you know the feeling?

£20ph is double what timter is playing!

I remember once my friend came back home for a weekend, she was staying with her aunt.

She told me she couldn't be out till too late Friday because she had to get up early Saturday morning because her aunt would be cleaning

I said why is your aunt getting up early on a Saturday to clean?

She said "she needs to clean before the cleaner comes" lol .

lol yes, every Friday early morning my wife does a quick "whip round" before she leaves for work!! I stand back in bemusement.

I used to have a cleaner when I lived in Czech Republic. Unfortunately, my flat mate was a bit of a pervert and was constantly leering over her each time she visited. It was just too uncomfortable to watch. She had to go.
