Just curious - how much do cleaners generally cost for an hour?
Considering it now

I've just had a local company come to quote and they have said that it's approx £13.20 per hour, but you get 2 cleaners for that, so it takes less time per session.

They said that as standard they usually do an extra hour or two on the first session as a 'deep clean' This then makes it much easier to maintain going forward for them.

When I get a full breakdown I will feedback.

OP - I definitely think that you should look into it - if you can afford it you are boosting the economy whilst hopefully giving yourself a break.

OP have you saw any of the FLY posts on old style? I lurk on these threads and they're great. I never finish a whole list but you basically pick a room per day and go from there.

I'm not able to move furniture about either, I have carers and my sister but they're busy with the caring bits to worry about my skirting boards so I have a cleaner every 2 weeks for 2 hours and she strips and remakes my bed too. She charges £30 and has a key (don't do this right away - build trust first) so she can come and go as she pleases within reason and I don't need to be home from work for her.

That's very cheap. The company will be taking something off that before the cleaners get paid so how much are they earning?

(NMW is £6.19 an hour)

It may be £13.20 per hour per cleaner :eek:

If it is in total, It may be that the 2nd cleaner only comes for one of the hours.

I will report back when I receive the quote.

There is no need to be ashamed about this. Propably half the population have houses like yours which occasionally need a good deep clean because of illness, lack of time or other reasons.

There are cleaning franchies which exist like "Molly Maid" who will come in and do an occasional one-off deep clean, or visit at whatever intervals you specify to give your house a clean. Why not google "molly maid cleaning franchise" and see if there's one in your area. If you input your local post code you might find one locally.
