    Does anyone use a cleaning service?

    We're looking to engage a cleaner for a couple of hours a week for light cleaning and maybe some ironing if time permits.

    The guy who drives the shuttle bus is Slovakian and his significant other has an ad on the bus for any type work. Haven't got around to getting anyone in yet myself, but was going to give her a try because they seem like decent folk (but her English is limited)

    Hi, if you do get someone in could you post up how you found them! We are due to move in at the end of August and will definitely be getting someone in too. Would be good to get someone with a recommendation!

    Lazy Git:eek:

    There are loads of agencies that do this, probably might pay top dollar but at least you know you will be getting top service and will have come back if anything goes wrong

    I work hard enough during the week and have enough other committments without having to sacrifice half a day over the weekend to clean and do laundry etc...

    Anyone I know who's used a cleaning agency has been pretty unhappy at the standard of hygiene. I've heard of them using the same impliments/cloths etc in the bathroom before moving on to the kitchen.

    I would rather engage a local person who we can develop a rapport with and build up trust.

    As a previous poster said, try the notice boards in Superquinn, Tesco and Super valu. We've had a cleaner for around two years now and I can highly recommend hiring one, she comes for a few hours every Friday afternoon, does all the ironing and leaves the place looking like a showhouse. If you are busy during the week and work long hours, it is worth every penny and leads to domestic harmony all round, with no arguments about whose turn it is to clean the toilets!!

    AT the risk of overworking your cleaning lady, can you please PM me her number? The one I was looking to hire hasn't shown, and I'm not best impressed.
