Looking for an excellent cleaning lady


Recommended Posts

I am on the look out for a fantastic, hard-working cleaner. Here are my criteria:


- great attention to detail and someone who can spot the bits instantly that need cleaning


- someone who doesn't just wipe but scubs and cleans properly (wiping I can do myself) especially in the bathroom


- someone who I don't need to point out to every time what in particular needs cleaning but who takes self-initiative such as hangs up laundry if washing machine is full or dirty dishes left out that need placing into dishwasher, old flowers on the table, bins taken out and bags changed and so forth.


- I pay ?10/h and we need someone for 3h every two weeks ideally on same day/same time (during the week)


- We'd like the general clean done every time but add one of these into one session: fridge cleaning, window cleaning, change bedsheets....


- I have high standards so please only get in touch if you are very thorough and I need to see proof of written references and phone references.


- I would like you to do a trial cleaning first and take you on based on that first initial clean. (paid of course)


- I need someone reliable, who can call me or text when they are not available or have to cancel in the last minute, someone who turns up on time and most importantly who I can trust.


- hours may become more depending on results.



Please write a short summary about yourself. I will then get in touch with you.


Our house is a three bed, 2 bathrooms but two bedrooms will not have to be cleaned at present as the occupiers do that themselves. So essentially we are talking about one bedroom, 2 bathrooms, hallways/stairs, living room, dining room and small kitchen.



Many thanks.

Sounds like you want a hell of a lot done in 3 hours, sometimes I think the best way to look at it is how much could you get done to your own standards in 3 hours?

So you're asking for bedroom, 2 bathrooms, hall, stairs, living room,kitchen & extra job eg windows done to perfection for ?30 a fortnight I would salute anyone who can rise to that

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
