Do you mean how much per hour would someone pay a cleaner?

My sister pays £10ph for a huge 3 bed flat. Suppose it depends how dirty you are!

I'll do it naked for free

Only payment is tea and biscuits.
PS you must have a dyson!!

I think it depends where you live. Until last October I was paying my cleaner £8 p/h in Suffolk.

It’s up to you how much you can afford to pay. So long as you don’t pay less than the national minimum wage.

Firstly see if anyone you know or anyone in the local area has a cleaner and pick their brains, even ask them to recommend you to their cleaner if they are satisfied with them.

If you are advertising for a cleaner can I suggest that when you do advertise the position you put 'wage negotiable' that way you can check out references with their previous employers and see that they are good at what they do and are reliable and trustworthy.

Also start with a trial period at a lower wage rate and after this trial period if they have proved themselves then you can up their wages, if either of you are not satisfied then you can part company. So long as it is all made clear at the beginning there should be no come backs.

I would also recommend that when you have chosen your cleaner everything that both of you require (i.e. who will be supplying the cleaning materials, if an area of your house is out of bounds etc) is put down in writing and signed and dated by both you and your perspective cleaner, (a copy to be kept by both of you) that way there won’t be any 'he said, she said' if things go awry. After all you wouldn’t expect a company to employ a person without some form of job description or contract.

Apologies for the rather long winded reply, but I hope you find these suggestions helpful. Good luck.

Well the more time you spend cleaning then the more you get paid, or were you thinking of increasing the hourly rate
