Cleaning can be a therapeutic task for those homeowners who have the time and energy – look at Mrs Hinch for example! However, for those with demanding jobs, large families, or medical conditions, cleaning can be an exhausting and time-consuming chore.

If you want to have a clean and tidy house, but are struggling to find the time or energy to make it so, then hiring cleaners Edinburgh to carry out all of the necessary cleaning jobs might be a really good idea for you. A domestic cleaner will complete a variety of domestic cleaning tasks in your home and take some of the weight of your long to-do list off your shoulders.

This article will cover the typical process of hiring a domestic cleaner, how much cleaners will charge to clean your home, what will affect the cost of cleaning your home, how you can save money and the best way to find cleaners Lincoln for your home.

How much will it cost to clean my house?

The average cost of a house clean will vary depending on the size of your home, the level of cleaning involved and the time it will take for all of your required cleaning tasks to be completed.

You may find that hiring an independent cleaner through Maid App will cost you considerably less than you expect, but the prices can vary depending on location.

If we look at some of the most common cleaning tasks in the UK, average prices are about:

Cleaning Task	Average Price
Average house clean	£10 to £20 (an hour)
Carpet cleaning	£25 to £50 (per room)
Cleaning after building work	£20 to £25 (an hour)
End of tenancy cleaning	£50 to £150
Floor cleaning	£10 to £15
Oven cleaning	£40 to £60 (per appliance)
Upholstery cleaning	£10 to £15
Window cleaning	£20 to £25

What factors can affect the cost of house cleaning?

There are a few factors that domestic cleaners will take into account when deciding how much to charge a customer.

Firstly, they will look at what type of cleaning job it is that you want completed.

If you are looking for a general house clean, then you can expect to pay around £15 to £20 per hour to include tasks such as dusting, tidying, hoovering, wiping down surfaces and cleaning toilets.

However, it is best to speak to your cleaner individually to see what is included in their hourly rate. This can easily be done using the chat feature on the Maid App.

Some other cleaning tasks, such as carpet cleaning, cleaning up after building work has been completed, and end of tenancy cleans can take a long time, and so the final cost will be higher. Time = money.

So, if you are looking to save money, we suggest you stick to general house cleaning and avoid the longer tasks such as end of tenancy cleans and after building work cleans.

The current condition of your home will also have an effect on the cost of your clean as well. If your home is relatively clean and tidy and you just want your cleaner to maintain the current standard, then this shouldn’t take them too much time and so should be a more affordable cost.

On the other hand, if you have been struggling to stay on top of your home, then the cleaning and tidying could take them longer, which will impact on the time it takes them to clean it and therefore, the cost to you.

You could consider getting your cleaner to do a Deep Clean to get you back on top of things again, and then asking them to come in once a week or once a fortnight to help you say on top of things – this could work out cheaper for you in the long run.

Location is also an important factor to take into account when it comes to the cost of cleaning a home. London prices for cleaners will always be more expensive than anywhere else in the UK and can be up to as much as £5 to £10 extra an hour.

What is involved in cleaning a house?

The independent cleaners available through Maid App offer two levels of service – deep clean and regular cleans.

If you are hoping to hire a cleaner to undertake a regular clean, this usually happens on a weekly or fortnightly basis – but you negotiate the frequency with your cleaner using the messaging feature on Maid App.

A deep clean is more intensive, and will take longer than a regular clean – and tends to happen on a three-to-six-month basis when you really want to spruce up the look of your house, and keep it in tip top condition.

How can I save money on house cleaning?

Cleaning is certainly one of those jobs that you can do yourself, and there are plenty of influencers out there who can provide you with tips and tricks on how to do that.

Cleaning your house yourself on a regular basis could even eliminate the need to hire a domestic cleaner, which will save you money.

However, if you can’t manage to clean the house entirely by yourself, then even just keeping on top of some of the smaller jobs such as dusting and hoovering, can help lower the cost of hiring a cleaner – as there won’t be so much for them to do when they do come round.

If you own a large home, then you may want to speak to your cleaner about them coming in on a weekly basis, and whether they may be open to giving you a discount for such regular work.

Even if your home is smaller, you can be selective about which rooms you want the cleaner to tackle, which will cut the cost of labour as well.
