£70k per annum? Hardly.....
Assuming you could get straight from one cleaning job to another (which you probably can't) so assuming you'd work around 35hrs per wk, that would be £700 per wk, which would be £36k per yr - if you could manage to work all those hours and have not holidays whatsoever. To get your figures you'd have to spend pretty much every waking hr 24-7 all year working and travelling from job to job to get that

Oops sorry my mental maths went a bit skew whiff! Nevertheless I can't imagine many cleaners earn £36k a year. That is well above the national average wage for both men and women, yet none of the cleaners I know are amongst the most well off in the country, rather the contrary.

Interestingly there is another thread running over on the employment board where real cleaners are discussing their pay rates. Most get paid between £6 and £9 per hour. Not one has said they earn anything like £20 per hour.

If she was employed on the understanding that cleaning products would be provided by the client then she should use whatever they have. If she wants to use specific products then she should bring them with her and put her rate up to cover the cost.

Post here re cleaning rates https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/471492 but they go back to 2008.
I just googled my area (Hampshire) and it would seem about £11.50 per hour is average http://www.timeforyou.co.uk/Home-Cleaning/Hampshire.
Also forgot, if you go through an agency you have to have a minimum amount of hours and/or days.
I will have a look for some cheaper ones as < £10 per hour in my opnion is a steal!
