    Hi All,

    I'm looking for a company/service that will do a once-off cleaning of a house in the city. It's a new-ish unoccupied house and it's not filthy or anything - just needs a good all-round clean so that it can be rented out.

    I've googled a few companies and I'm checking out ads in the Advertiser for cleaners, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a particular company or service that they would really recommend for something like this?

    Any help would be very much appreciated - thanks!

    Hi Prettie

    Could you pm me your friends details? Looking to get a house cleaned too, probably just a one off job.

    Thanks a lot

    Nope. But they only have to pay 7.65 an hour this time.

    What has the recession got to do with wanting to live in a clean house!?

    I may be wrong, but I interpreted the post as a reference to the fact that only the 'rich' or those in 'big houses' employed houskeepers prior to the boom (ha ha) years.

    During tiger years, the number of people using housecleaners soared. Prior to that people only ever did it themselves.

    Provided they're paying a stamp (ie employer's PRSI) and employer's liability insurance etc.

    Otherwise the rate is the same as it has been recently for self-employed people picking up jobs like this from all over the place.

    I've said before, the country overall may be in deeper trouble, but I'm picking up signals of things getting better in Galway at least. There are far more jobs to apply for than there were 18 months ago, there are jobs that are hard to fill already, and there are posts like this popping up. I'm getting regular emails from recruiters about jobs in Dublin and obscure parts of the UK.

    Yep I know what you mean. I saw somebody on Adverts looking for part-time work in Galway and they got a reply from Dublin asking would they come up to give out flyers.

    Hello
    I'm moving out from my house and would need someone to help me cleaning and organizing myself because I've been in exams while being single mum of 2 babies and unfortunately don't find the time and energy needed to do everything on my own, so I would be thankful if you could recommend me someone nice, understanding, efficient and reliable to help!
    Thanks in advance
