Anybody able to give me an idea how much I should pay a cleaner? For normal house cleaning, ironing etc. I have no idea what the going rate is but will drown in dirt & ironing if I don't sort something out soon. (Yes I know I could do it myself but ...)

I charge £25 nude or £8hr normal :-P

Where are you based ST? My mother pays £8 per hour and is in the home counties. I'd imagine it's a bit cheaper if you go up north.

I'm in Bedfordshire - so not London rates - but not that far north either.

Nicko - couldn't afford £25/hr - sorry!!

Hannabelle

I'd bet on about the same then. Mummy gets her cleaner through an agency so you probably can find someone cheaper. I'd go with an agency though, as I think you have a bit more protection that way.

Nicko. Hdau

I would wear protection :-D

Thanks Hannabelle!
Yes Nicko, I'm ignoring you!

Nicko. Hdau

Of course HG :-d

And no your not ST or you wouldn't have said im ignoring you Nicko!

£8 per hour plus another £2 per hour to the agency.

Although on second thoughts, cancelling the contract might prove expensive ....

I pay £5.50 per hour, my neighbour pays £8.50 agency cleaners more that that but a lot goes to the "boss" then, not the cleaner

I pay mine £8 per hour.. no agency fees as it is private. She does 5 hours per week. 3 hours on Tuesday and 2 on Thursday.

I previously used an agency for the same rate, plus £2.50 to the agency.

£7 per hour in North London. She's good too.

My cleaner has been with me for about 8 years now.

Desparate springs to mind!

Some useful phrases in Polish for you:

£7 per hour
Siedem funtów na godzinę

£10 in the nude
Dziesięć funtów bez tkanin

£5 an hour in Brum

Muttley

We've got two in Reading. They reckon there's over 10,000 Poles here.

Alas, my once-fluent Polish is rusty after 20 years of disuse. But I can still order a coffee and say thankyou, so I get served with a big smile from an almost invariably very attractive young lady :-)

M..o.use

£8 an hour in Bristol.

[Deleted User]

Reading must be the home of Pole dancing then-boom boom

Johnny Blaze
