What will a cleaner do?

Domestic cleaning covers a wide range of household jobs, including:

• Standard dusting and hoovering across the whole home

• Specific room cleaning, for example, kitchens and bathrooms

• Additional duties such as folding laundry, ironing, and changing bed sheets

• Window cleaning

• Blind cleaning (although this could take longer than the standard hours agreed)

What a regular cleaner won't do

Most domestic cleaners will extend their services to include tasks such as folding laundry and ironing, but not all.

It's a good idea to ask if there are any cleaning jobs they won't do from the outset.

Jobs a regular weekly cleaner typically won't take on could include:

• Carpet cleaning

• Oven cleaning

How much does a cleaner cost?

Cleaners typically either work independently or as part of an agency.

An independent cleaner will charge around £25 per hour for an average house clean. In comparison, a cleaner employed by an agency will charge around £27.50 per hour.

Different cleaning jobs will be priced differently. For example, an intensive, one-off house clean will take longer and therefore cost more than a regular weekly cleaner.

Other FAQs about finding cleaners near you

Should cleaners bring their own supplies?

Some cleaners bring their own equipment and products, while others may use your supplies if you prefer. It’s good to ask this before the job so you know what to expect.

What should I check before hiring a cleaner?

Before hiring a cleaner, it’s always wise to ask about:

• Their experience with your type of cleaning

• Whether they are insured

• What’s included in the price

• If they provide references

This makes comparing quotes easier and helps avoid surprises.

Can I hire a cleaner for a one-off job?

Absolutely. Many cleaners offer one-off, ad-hoc cleans as well as regular weekly or fortnightly visits. Just clarify what you’re after when getting quotes.

What is the 20-minute rule in cleaning?

The 20-minute rule is a simple way to keep on top of household cleaning by focusing on one task or room for just 20 minutes at a time. Such as dusting surfaces, or whizzing the hoover round.

It helps prioritise the most visible areas first and makes cleaning feel more manageable – especially between your regular weekly cleaner visits.

What will a cleaner do in three hours?

In a three-hour window, a cleaner can usually cover the main living areas of an average home. This often includes:

• Vacuuming and mopping floors

• Cleaning kitchens and bathrooms

• Dusting surfaces

• Tidying high-use rooms

That said, exactly what a cleaner can tackle in three hours depends on the size of your home and your priorities.

How much should I pay a cleaner per hour?

In the UK, independent cleaners typically charge around £25 per hour, depending on your location, the type of cleaning needed, and whether it’s a regular or one-off clean.

Specialist or deep cleaning services may cost more.

Is hiring a professional cleaner worth it?

For many households, hiring a domestic cleaner is worth it for the time and effort it saves – especially for busy families or larger homes. A cleaner can help:

• Keep your home consistently clean

• Tackle harder-to-reach areas

• Reduce the stress of keeping on top of chores
