    Hot topic in the office today, surprised that 25% of people I work with have a paid cleaner...

    Ooh, even as a financial crime analyst I wouldn't delve into my coworkers tax arrangements!

    Does it still count as posh if your cleaner has to turn up in hard hat , mask , goggles , overalls ,safety gloves and steel toe boots ?

    My late father's lady friend once said to him "All my friends have gardeners and cleaners". My old man replied "All my friends are gardeners or cleaners!"

    Went for used to have one, but could also be close to getting one and could also be Yes.

    Ours stopped working when Covid first started ramping up and she's looking at starting coming back around in September or so

    What about a "never had one and never want one one" category?

    It's high up on my list of things I'd really like, as soon as finances allow.

    One thing I've learned from employing commercial cleaners is that a professional can do a far better job than I can, and in a fraction of the time. It's a hugely underappreciated (and underpaid) job in my opinion. But then maybe I'm just not very good at cleaning!

    I'm kind of hijacking this thread, though it's on a similar vein.

    Three of our six person team have a cleaner. One of them are a couple with no kids which baffles me even more.

    We don't have a cleaner but my wife moans about all the family’s ironing.

    I've offered to help but as she rightly points out I'm crap at it and she would get too impatient watching me do it badly.

    When we had child 2 (emergency C section) I paid someone to do it. Came to the house, collected it in a box with hangers in a bag and returned it all the next day done and hung up. Relatively cheaply too.

    I have said countless times that I don't see why we don't do that but apparently it's wrong having someone else do your ironing.

    Couldn't afford one but I would happily be overdrawn each month for a naked cleaner

    Probably because from the disposable income they do have their choosing to take cleaning off their list of priorities? Much easier to get things like that paid for when you're not feeding a family of four, paying for nursery, etc.
