We have downsized to a small apartment. We have a cleaner who comes for 2 hours every 2 weeks. At the outset she was told bathroom and floors were a priority . We pay £20 per hour which is top price for this area.
Would you expect grouting in shower to be cleaned, kitchen floor to have more than a quick wipe over with spray on a flatmop or tiles behind cooker to be cleaned? I really dont know ifI am expecting too much. She always finishes early but the toilet roll has a nicely folded point smile

What's a cleaner? Oh I think it's me, maybe I should start paying myself?

I don’t think I have ever specifically cleaned the bathroom grout - off to check it now 🙂

Just to clarify for those who have commented on what my cleaner charges. I had never had a cleaner before so didn’t know what to expect. She visited the house, I asked her charge and she told me.
Its no ones business, but i give her a very decent Christmas bonus which over the year brings her well over the minimum or living wage.
She is much better off than me, if her car and frequent trips are anything to go by, so she doesn’t actually need to clean other peoples houses, but she is one of those ( rather strange) people who enjoy it.
