Is it normal for cleaners to do less work than the hours they're paid for?

I did have a cleaner who skived off after two hours when paid for four- as I discovered when I ran into her while out shopping!-I would find the house pretty clean, but probably only superficially. I wasnt sure how to handle it but she left anyway, and Ive had the same cleaning lady now for ten years. She always does her time, the house is very clean, she's helped me reorganise my mess after builders, she babysits and is trusted completely. During the hols, if we are away and so not there to make a mess she comes in and does other jobs- fridge cleaning, spring cleaning, carpet cleaning so she doesnt loose out. I pay her a tenner an hour and she earns it!

I once had a fab cleaner...or so I thought until I came home one day to find the cleaning cloth I used in the kitchen in my bathroom. Eeek! I haven't had a cleaner since but could seriously do with some help now we have a baby. Just not sure I could trust them to do a good job and not to spread germs through my house!

Hi. I do cleaning for a friend of mine and regardless whether you are there or not if your being paid to do 4 hours that is what you should do. The lady i clean for is always there, but if she wasn't i would still do the same.

You have just had a bad cleaner. Good luck with finding someone.

Whatever you do decide to do, DO NOT GO WITH FASTKLEEN CLEANING AGENCY!!!! We had 3 cleaners over a period of 3 months, coming every 2 weeks and ended up having sentimental jewellery and an iPod pinched. To top it all off, the police had to get involved as the last cleaner got so threatening with not being paid because she didn't do the work that she was meant to!

      St Christopher's shop

      I think that charity shops are - in general - no longer the place for bargains and affordable items, as they used to be.  It's a little ridiculous that you can spend the same for a second hand item as you can for new. We donate to two particular ones that are not overpriced, because we want our donations to go to people that need them, and are affordable.

      Looking for a bakery which sells baked goods with fresh cream - are there any?

      Try Bunhead Bakery in Herne Hill.  I’ve seen items with whipped cream on them. They have an Instagram account which also displays photos of cream topped goods.

      @Penguin68 I find your post really weird and frankly  a bit creepy. The discussion is about the fact that a charity shop has a sale on and whether their pricing and stock policy has changed. To twist that into an attack on government fiscal policies and an oblique snipe at the cross party supported assisted dying legislation, passed with clear support from the majority of the public, is just bafflingly bizarre. I am relieved that you stopped short of blaming Southwark Council or TfL. There is no contradiction between the intent of the assisted dying bill and the work of hospices, it does not force doctors to do anything and suicide doesn’t exist- it was abolished as a crime in 1961.  If you wish to raise yet another argument you have already lost, I suggest you start a new thread rather than divert this one off topic.
