How much do you pay your cleaner?

I am suspicious that mine is somewhat over paid.
She does 3 days a week , 4 hours each day , and is paid £106.47

If I had the luxury of a cleaner, I suppose I would expect to pay them between 6 and 7 pounds per hour. yours seems to be on £8.30 per her (just rough maths from the figure you have given) which does seem a bit high. do you buy the cleaning products or does she? if she does maybe her rate reflects this and things such as petrol too?0

She does two hours a week for me, but I am disabled so there are lots of things that I can't manage. Well worth her wages in my view.
sorry to hear of your disability daisy0 -

I think you mean 'empathise' , you will need to up your language skills to be a solicitor0 -
£37 for 3 hours per week. We supply all materials.0

The average wage for a cleaner here is about £8-£10 per hour with cleaning materials supplied. So I would say that is about the right amount. Although you must be filthy to need a cleaner 12 hours per week!0
