Such a variation of hourly rates!!

I have a cleaner for two hours every two weeks. She cleans bathroom and shower room, hoovers hall stairs and landing , and dusts three bedrooms and the lounge in that time. She doesn’t do woodwork, kitchen or dining room and finishes ontime every time. I pay a very reasonable £11 ph. She uses my equipment, and cleaning cloths and sprays.
I give her a good Christmas box which brings her rates up.
Havnt noticed a nice point on the loo roll though.

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
