Cleaners

[Ruprect]

Have you got one? How much is the going rate? How long do they come for, and how often?

The missus is proposing to get one weekly, 25 quid a time... That's over a grand a year!

Suitable comments, advice, p155 takes welcome

I used to have, she cost about £8 an hour and came in for 3 hrs a fortnight and did my whole place.

Worth every penny IMO.

the cleaner in work has been getting a bit flirty lately, which is nice , yet strangely nice.

Depends what type of "cleaner", the sort that sweeps up the dirt, the sort that are stereotypically of Filipino persuasion who provide cleaning services with lots of suction power or the sort that work on a contract basis and the "target" ends up in a bath of acid or with concrete feet?

You could offer to do it. That would save you a grand a year.

My missus had a cleaner until last month. 3 hours at £15 p/h. My missus aint working and is looking after the kids. Even when I was on the bench looking, my missus still had a cleaner.

You can now fathom we no longer have one.

You could have done it. That would have saved you £45 a week.

I don't have one at the moment and I hate it.

When I was living abroad we had 'maid service' (what they call cleaners there) and before that I had a cleaner for several years when I was still in the UK. It was worth every penny I paid and more.

It is such a weight off my mind. I could come home to a clean house/condo/flat with all my ironing done, etc. Not only was it cheaper to get someone else to do all that compared to my time, but I believe that it also made me more productive.

However, I was a single bloke for most of the time I had one. Some couples I've know done have one because the woman doesn't like the idea of someone in their house. I've even knew one lady, who worked all week, to say that she liked doing the cleaning on a Saturday morning because it was therapeutic!

I don't remember what I paid, but I'm sure it was more than what I've seen quoted here.

Wasn't that the reason for getting married?
