Some people may ask 'How many hours of Domestic Cleaning do I need?'
What Can a Cleaner Do in 2 Hours?
If you’re hiring a cleaner for the first time, it can be tough to figure out whether or not your cleaner is doing a decent job. If you’ve got no benchmark for determining how efficient your cleaner is, we’ll attempt to run you through what a professional cleaner should be able to do in two hours.
Your cleaner is not magic!
Before we start, it’s extremely important to understand that your cleaner is not magic. If you hire a cleaner for a couple of hours, you can’t expect everything to be perfect after the first session. It can take multiple cleans to get your house to a standard that your cleaner will then maintain.
Some cleaning companies may insist on a proper deep clean before they allow a regular cleaner to come out and maintain the property.
Prepare a list of tasks
Whilst we can try to give you a rough idea of what to expect, the simplest way to figure it out is to write a list of tasks in descending order of priority and then give it to your cleaner. No matter how great the cleaner, if they’re spending time doing tasks you don’t care about, you’re not going to notice any improvement in the cleanliness of your house. Tell your cleaner what to do, then see how much they can achieve in two hours.
So, what can actually be accomplished in two hours?
** Hoovering the whole house/disinfection kitchen & bathroom areas, floors mopped, dusting living area **
Assuming the house has been cleaned to a maintainable standard, two hours every week is enough time for a professional cleaner to maintain a three-bedroom house. That means hoovering, dusting and any other small household cleaning tasks. Of course, this is only true if you take care of some basic cleaning tasks yourself.
