I've had cleaners, the first one in Jersey when both my ex husband & I worked long hours. She was brilliant, the house sparkled & she did all the ironing in 3 hours.

The 2nd lot up here in Sheffield were great initially, then people kept leaving & towards the end weren't that good.

I would definately recommend having a cleaner if you both work as you then don't have to bother with hoovering & dusting yourself.
