What moves the price
- Size of your home — more rooms take more hours of house cleaning, so the total cost rises.
- One-off vs regular booking — a regular weekly or fortnightly clean often costs less per hour than a one-off visit.
- Condition since the last clean — a home left for a long time needs more hours of cleaning to bring back up to standard.
- Who supplies products and equipment — a house cleaning provider who brings everything may charge a little more per hour.
- Location — house cleaners travelling further may charge a little more per hour to cover the journey.
- Extra tasks requested — ironing, inside the oven or inside windows each add time to a house cleaning visit.

How to pay less
- Booking house cleaning on a regular schedule, rather than now and then, often brings the rate per hour down.
- Supplying your own cleaning products and equipment can lower the house cleaner's rate per hour.
- Tidying away clutter before the cleaner arrives means the hours booked go on cleaning rather than picking things up.
- Asking the cleaner to focus on the kitchen and bathrooms each visit, with other rooms less often, keeps the hours down.
- Regular house cleaning keeps dirt from building up, so each visit takes fewer hours than a clean after a long gap.
Before you book
- Access to all areas of the home that require cleaning.
- Any specific cleaning products or tools you prefer the cleaner to use.
- Clear instructions regarding areas of concern or special requests.
- Parking arrangements for the house cleaning team's vehicle, if needed.
- You can ask whether the cleaners are trained in the safe use of cleaning products, and which products they use in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Mention any allergies or sensitivities to cleaning products, so the cleaner can use gentler products in your home.
