It's got to that time that housework is becoming too much of a chore after work, kids, cooking etc etc and we are thinking of getting a domestic cleaner in our house
Anyone here got one- if so
How much are they charging you?
How long do they do?
How frequently? once a week or every few days
What do you get them to do and what do they leave?
Do you ever tip them?
Do you feel confident that they aren't rifling through your possessions?
Also - if anyone is in the Maidstone / Medway area of Kent (specifically Snodland) then fee free to share any reputable companies
thanks in advance

How long do they do? see above
How frequently? once a week or every few days once a week
What do you get them to do and what do they leave? they just do a general tidy up, clean bathrooms, mop the floors, hoover, dust etc but if we want something specific down we tell them and they do it
Do you ever tip them? we don't but the mother in law buys them a Xmas pressie
Do you feel confident that they aren't rifling through your possessions?
totally but them my mother in law has used them for about six years. initially I'd be careful until you feel you can trust them
5 Hours per day three days a week. (We have three children!)
General Cleaning, washing & Ironing. Cooking and shopping on request
No Tips but Birthday and Xmas presents
Never had a problem or worry with possessions
That is exactly what happens with us. We employ someone we know for 4 hours at £10 per hour.
Totally trustworthy and have used her for about 4 years.
Box of chocolates at Xmas, no tips.
Wouldn't not have one and it keeps the wife focussed on the "important jobs"
;-O
Reckon these people are your answer.
I don't know it, I'm a poet.
shes a bit odd, scared of cats, I mean our kitten... and insists he's locked away, she broke a knife rack and glass jewellery box recently, latest is refusing to clean teenage daughters room it isn't that bad... always moaning, and takes more holiday than santa
soon you'll be wanting to hire a cook or a hooker to do the other 2 tasks..........
once a fortnight
mops, irons, cleans.... occasionally does windows or washes dishes if i haven't had a chance to do them... have asked her to run a couple of loads through washing machine if i've had a busy work period
reliable... and trust her... buuuut.... came home early once and found a bloke on my sofa. dodgy!! assume she won't dare do it again, so dealt with it in a very chinese way and ignored it to save her face
How long do they do? - 2 hours a week
How frequently? once a week or every few days - once a week
What do you get them to do and what do they leave? - she tidies everywhere, hoover's, dust's/polishes, cleans Kitchen and Bathroom and kids bedrooms, basically goes through the whole house (although we understand there's a limit to what she can do in 2 hours, she does a fantastic job)
Do you ever tip them? - normally an extra £20 at christmas
Do you feel confident that they aren't rifling through your possessions? - totally, she came recommended through a friend.
How long do they do? 3 Hours
How frequently? once a week or every few days Once a week
What do you get them to do and what do they leave? Hoover & dust all the rooms, clean & polish the bathrooms.
Do you ever tip them? Bottle of wine at Christmas
Do you feel confident that they aren't rifling through your possessions? No, but if she wants to wear a pair of my boxers on her head whilst she is working she is welcome
Bar the odd exception, its only what some other people spend on fags, or booze, or gambling.
Feel bad seeing my missus exhausted then having to start on the ironing about 9pm. If we were able to free up some time and effort then we definitely would.
That said I very much hope that all of the above is going through the books and there's no cash in hand going on though!!!
