Does anyone have a cleaner for a few hours a week?

What would I need for a 4 bed house with ensuite, dining room etc? Would 2 hours a week be sufficient?

Any horror stories, recommendations?

3 hours, about £40. They should have a list of what they'll do, you can add to this as necessary. You'll be lucky if you never have anything broken, but if you choose a decent company, it should go relatively smoothly. Biggest hurdle for me initially was the trust of having strangers in the house. I just had to make sure i had a lock on the freezer.

cctv ftw!!!

2 hours a week does mine.

£25pw by 2 polish birds via an agency that's fully insured etc.

Never had anything stolen/broken.........yet

The Zohan

Northampton £9-10 per hour, min 2 hours per week suggest A Friday and a Monday 1-2 hours each day for general cleaning, no BJ's or washing up/clothes washing.

£40 3 hours a week.

Great! I leave the house in the morning a right tip...come home and it's all clean and hoovered..

A wife

If you didnt bother with foreplay then yes

Yes, my wife got rather amorous one time at her parents house and decided to give me a hand job. However she got a bit too excited and went a bit hard thus causing a bit of bleeding, so for handjobs no I cant recommend her, but for everything else......



Sorry, couldnt resist

We use this bloke who turns up when he feels like it but he is quite thorough. Not cheap either but for a decent job its worth it.

Yes. £8 an hour. 6 hours a week. Monday & a thursday afternoon. Just a local girl. No issues, dogs have even stopped barking at her now

Dave - more like 3 hours every two weeks since you're both at work every day and H is at school.

My cleaner ran up about £200 of calls to psychic hotlines during the day. She didn't last long (before the telephone bill came in) and didn't pursue it.

So it is always interesting letting complete strangers into your house.

He usually gives discounts if you let him do it in high heels

We have a local old dear come to our house 3 times a week who does all the hoovering / polishing / clothes washing - drying - ironing / also nips out to the supermarket to top up the fridge etc using a card we have issued her.

She's a diamond (sorts me out with Kronenbourg 1664 Dynamo for the weekend).

If the wife and I go away on hols - as you do. She'll move in to supervise the kid / cats / dog / fish etc etc.

We do pay her a monthly salary of £400 so some months she is up, some months she is down but she knows where she stands on income.

£400 a month is roughly £100 a week for 3 half days - I reckon that's not a bad score for a grave dodger

Not as fit as a tottietastic Polish birdfest. I can resist everything except temptation and don't need that kind of hassle in my life right now.

Of course, thats assuming the hot eastern european cleaner fancies you and wants to seduce you.

WAKE UP!

TopBanana

Two hours should do it. Try them at two first and see how they get on. Some cleaners are really good and self-motivated, some are lazy cows.
