House Cleaner??? How do I find one, and what should I expect?

[Fuzzywuzzy]

My mum gets a cleaner in every fortnight and they do a general clean - floors, kitchen, bathroom. Sometimes she asks them to do one off jobs like clean the windows and runners and tops of fans etc. Generally it's not a problem as long as they have time

I used Absolute Domestics and found them to be good, then had DH SIL for a while who was great but not reliable. we used Absolute Domestics 3 hours a fortnight and that was fine for us $76 i think? and Janie you know i am no cleaning goodess! lol

ETA

she cleaned my fridge, hung out washing, floors, dusting

Used what i had although i did ask her to tell me if there was anything she prefered to use and got whatever it was.

Have a friend who has just started up and he does a great job. Cleaned DD1 house with me when they moved.
If you want I can ask him what he charges.
I fully trust him and he is great with kids, they do foster work as they could never have children themselves
