[quote=Anonymous]I don’t get it either, OP. I’ve been trying to find a weekly cleaning service that is willing to work on an hourly basis (instead of Paying a fixed rate per cleaning) for two reasons:

1. I have a large house and don’t want it all cleaned every week. I just want the main areas done and then depending on the week I would have them come up and clean on the 2nd floor or do the basement for example. I also want to be able to ask for certain special projects from week to week (e.g.-clean draperies, detail fridge, etc.).

2. I’m just effing sick of cleaners wanting me to pay a fixed rate “per cleaning”, and then after the honeymoon period their entire objective becomes “how do I get this house done in the least amount of time possible” and then they start doing a really bad job. Like she wants to charge $200/cleaning when it takes her 2.5 hours and she’s working by herself.

I’ve posted ads and I explicitly say in my ad the hourly rate and that you must be willing to work on an hourly basis. I get many dozens of replies but they all, by the 2nd or 3rd communication, say they charge “per job” not by the hour.
