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!

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).

      Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
