UNPOPULAR OPINION (FROM A CLEANER):

Why are cleaners the only trade people tell what they want to pay?

Imagine calling an electrician and saying:

“Yeah… I know you quoted £300 but I was thinking £120?”

You wouldn’t.

Because you’d be laughed off the phone.

You don’t negotiate with plumbers when your pipes burst.

You don’t tell a solicitor your “budget” for legal advice.

You don’t ask a dentist for a discount halfway through a filling.

But cleaners?

“Oh… this is what I want to pay.”
“This is my budget.”
“It should only take a couple hours.”
“Can you just do it cheaper?”

Let me say this louder for the people at the back:

HYGIENE IS NOT A MARKET STALL.

You are not negotiating over a handbag.
You are negotiating over cleanliness, bacteria control, safety, and standards.

What fascinates me is this, people will happily spend:

💷 £4+ on a coffee
💷 Hundreds on takeaways each month
💷 Thousands on décor, furniture and brand shoes/bags

…but suddenly become expert negotiators when it comes to the thing that actually protects the environment they live or work in.

Why is hygiene the one service people think is optional… or negotiable?

You’re not paying for “a wipe over.”

You’re paying for:

✔ experience
✔ insurance
✔ equipment
✔ chemicals
✔ compliance
✔ physical labour
✔ accountability

And most importantly, care.

Cleaners aren’t overpriced.

The industry has just been undervalued for far too long.

So here’s my controversial take:

If you want cheap, you don’t want professional.

And if you negotiate on hygiene… don’t be surprised when standards match the price.

🔥 Cleaners...are you tired of being told what your work is worth?
🔥 Clients... convince me why hygiene is negotiable.
