A day? How big is your gaff? An hour or two at the most, unless you live in a mansion.

Exactly that, but she should be resting, not getting SA'd by the owner....

Most family sized houses take half a day to clean tbf, we have a cleaner once every 2 weeks and she does it in around 3.5-4 hours. We've always considered swapping to once a week for 2 hours but we tend to keep mostly on top of it that it doesn't need a weekly thorough clean.

In response to OP, we've always done a nice tub/box of chocolates (celebrations etc.) and a card and that's gone down well.

That's a big house.
How much does she clean? Like dusting and stuff too?

Pressing X to doubt, but even so, nowhere near a day's work. Very few people will be spending over £100 a month on a cleaner, you're in a tiny minority.

A few friends and people at work hire cleaners, but not one of them hires one for half a day.

Guess it depends how thorough.

Ours is 1.5 hours 2 times a month.
Mopping, vacuum, work tops, cleaning bath, sink, toilets, vacuum sofas etc.

Usually doesn't do my home office as I'm working in there.

Our house is small though.

Can't believe I'm writing this.

Would you give your cleaner a gift for Christmas?
She's employed and must be on minimum wage as I don't really pay the company much who she works for.

I'd rather give cash in a card as that's what I'd prefer.

We've had a few cleaners from this company and requested this particular one as she's so much better than any of the others.

I expect mockery for this thread.

I think that's very nice. We used to give our cleaner's children a little gift like a book or something (not sure, my wife sorted it!)
