Answer 1

between 45 and 55 for the 4 hours

Answer 2

I am a cleaner, and I get paid $18 an hour. I think that this is a fair rate. Cleaning can be a crappy job, so money makes it better :) And for 4 hours thats $72, but just think- you don't have to do it! And it makes it worth if for the cleaner.

Answer 3

Sexual favors

Answer 4

About 10-15 an hour, minimum of two hours, check the dishes-sometimes they don't do dishes unless you have a dishwasher. They should be able to clean effectively without leaving the house at all. Also usually they will only hang out washing, some ironing- yes, nothing to strenuous.

Answer 5

You are the employer, u can pay as little as u can get a cleaner for or as much as u like. If u interview a cleaner, ask her what she charges, either accept or offer her less, if she won't work 4 this, try someone else, it is all up to you, you are the employer.

Answer 6

You should give the cleaner ablout 20 a hour. This may sound a lot but it is only one day a week. And she/he will do a better job if you pay them  well.

Answer 7

between 45 and 55 for the 4 hours

Answer 8

That sounds like a lot of work to get done in only 4 hours. You want the bathrooms cleaned too, right?

You might want to call several cleaners and see what they would charge. Usually the cleaner sets the rate they work at. Then you could pick the person that you felt would do the best job for the price you want to pay. Good luck!
