or your just poor
I'm poor but I have good grammar.

£10ph isn't all that much to be honest, whilst the hike from £6ph to £10ph is the overall amount really isn't much compared to prices I've seen charged.
Jez, I'm sure she was undercharging. I know it's cash in hand but £6/hour is awful.
I'd agree to the price rise but I'd point out anything you're unhappy with and make sure she knows you expect an impeccable service to justify the extra cost.

Just don't make a mess in the first place and clean up as you go. Takes next to no time to clean. 2 Hours a week tops.
Even if I had bundles of spare cash I wouldn't hire a cleaner. Unless you got like a 10 bed house.
EDIT: if you went to your boss/people who pay you and demanded a 60% increase in pay/margins they would tell you to take a hike unless you can justify the raise.

Jez has an 11 bed house.

Around 60ishHow many hours a week do you work? If I work it out, I probably do 60-70. Aside from the other factors I mentioned, 2 hours a week is precious free time.
It's hard to clean as you go with the kitchen/toilet/etc.... then there's dust.
Don't get me wrong of course it's sometimes needed, I was just saying it doesn't take that long and as people have said it depends what your time is worth.[FnG]magnolia;12495657 said:I normally agree with you but have to disagree with this. There are definitely times when some help is needed; job demands and kids are the first two things which spring to mind.
It's dependant on your situation, of course, but sometimes the money is of less relevance than the result. If that makes sense

Not an insubstantial sum.
Actually having thought about £15 is probably a little too much for a cleaner as it isn't weather dependant like the other 2 jobs. It would also depend on whether they provided their own cleaning materials as well. Also an 8 hour day for a house cleaner would probably actually be more like a 9 1/2-10 hour day due to travelling between jobs. Still I think £10 per hour should be the absolute minumum.
