Depends on how many people, bathrooms, pets and lifestyle but approx 3 hours per week at your hourly rate.

we have a min of 3 - 4 hours for a 3 or 4 bed house.

best is to advice the customer how many hrs needed to clean the house and then see how many hours they want - 9/10 customers will go with the amount of hours you say - unless they dont like your hourly rate of course.

the answer to that is if you pay £7 per hour you get what you deserve!  We charge more than double that and have no shortage of customers so just don't try and compete.

I explain to potential clients their options - hire privately, no insurance, no crb check, no holiday/sickness cover and let that person take care of their home and all their possessions, or hire professionally, fully insured, crb & reference checked and a fully managed team of cleaners.  No competition!
