I pay what the cleaner asked me to pay. $40 an hour is actually a very decent wage. [b]It takes virtually no skill to do the job. [/b]

Feel free to make your cleaner the beneficiary of your 401K and life insurance for all I care.[/quote]

Yeah, until the cleaner takes the steel wool to your stainless steel appliances or Windex to your upright piano. True stories.[/quote]

Paying more for a cleaner does nothing to avoid what you describe.  I am sure like any service there are extremely high end cleaners that probably charge thousands and know how to clean your Tiffany silver, your Steinway, etc...but a cleaner that charges $70/hour isn't charging that because they are more highly skilled than the $40 cleaner, but just because enough people will pay that in a certain neighborhood.[/quote]

PP.  I used to work as a cleaner.  If you pay more, you’ll get a more intelligent cleaner, and a higher chance that they’ll turn their brain on when working.[/quote]

Again…not sure why people are treating a cleaner any different than someone who cuts your grass or cleans your gutters.

You want a house cleaner…you get some referrals…person comes over and looks at your house and gives you a price.  You may or may not go with the lowest price.

However if someone quotes me a rate that works out to $40/hour, I’m not arbitrarily going to say, you know what, I will pay you 75% more than that.

Much the same I don’t offer to pay someone 75% more to mow my lawn just for shits and giggles.
