Taken from a page I follow dedicated to solo cleaners.
Although I don't charge as much as some cleaners, some people just don't want to pay much for your services.

💭 “Why do cleaners charge what they charge?”

Because behind every 2 hour clean, there’s more than just elbow grease.

✅ Insurance – A comprehensive solo cleaner policy averages £20 plus per month. That’s to protect the client’s home, their belongings, and the cleaner themselves.

✅ Products & equipment – On a standard 2 hour clean, the average spend on cleaning products works out at around £2–£4 (think sprays, cloths, mop heads, bin liners, polish, descaler, etc). Over a month, that adds up fast.

Add in travel, wear and tear on equipment, plus the actual labour itself and you can see why professional cleaning isn’t “just a bit of dusting.”

Clients aren’t only paying for a clean house, they’re paying for peace of mind, professionalism, and someone who takes their responsibility seriously.

📌 So when you set your prices, don’t undersell. Your costs are real, your service is valuable, and your business deserves to be sustainable.

I treated myself to something this week. An electric brush with different head attachments.
I'd seen them recommended on cleaning pages, so decided to try one.

I have a rotator cuff injury on my right shoulder, so sometimes scrubbing can be painful. I'm naturally right handed, bit try to do repetitive work, such as scrubbing with both sides.

I always try out new products at home, so I can get to grips with their different characteristics before using them in customer's homes.

This brush has been great, really makes a difference and makes scrubbing much easier.
I bought it with showers in mind, as they're often one of the most neglected places in the home and constant use and their wet environment can mean they get a bit grim very quickly.

I've tested at home on my sink, shower and bath tub. I also tested it on my Aga, which is notoriously difficult to clean as it's always hot and is quite delicate with its enamel.

I managed to get the inside of the covers for the hot plates pretty clean very quickly. This job normally takes ages with loads of tiring scrubbing.

The charge has lasted a long time and it charges quickly.

I'm impressed, best purchase for a while.

It sounds like an electric toothbrush, so don't panic if you hear this coming from the bathroom - I'm not using your toothbrush to clean!

The disaster truck was collected on Sunday, a day earlier than expected.
I have no idea where in the country it is at the moment, but it's pencilled in at the garage for tomorrow - so hopefully it gets there!

It was a challenge, a bit like Tetris, fitting all the luggage from the truck, plus 2 dogs into a hatchback courtesy car for our 10 hour trip home.

The courtesy car has gone back now, so I'm vehicleless for the time being.
If I'm not likely to get it back before next week I will see if I can source a hire car so I can get your homes cleaned for you.

I will review the situation tomorrow and give an update.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone.

Hello everyone.

As my customers will know I've been on holiday the past week.

I was due home today and to begin back cleaning your homes next week.
Unfortunately my vehicle has broken down rather suddenly and drastically 😫

I'm having to stay on in Hampshire an extra day until I can collect a courtesy car tomorrow which I'll have for 48 hours to drive home.
My vehicle is being recovered tomorrow, sent to a compound and then when the breakdown service can get someone to do the job, it will be taken the rest of the way up to Scotland.

It will be highly unlikely I'll be able to get to any of my cleans next week, unless I'm able to get a courtesy car.

I will keep you all posted and individually message the customers booked in next week.
If I've not messaged you yet, you're most likely booked in for the end of the week and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will be sorted by then - I'll up date you by the middle of the week.

Just a reminder to all my customers that I'm on annual leave from week commencing 23rd June and back to work 7th July.

If anyone has holidays booked and they've not yet done so, please could you let me know what dates you'll be away.

I'm happy and insured to collect keys and clean while you're away - so please let me know if you'd like this service.
