Different people use their money in different ways.

not picking an arguement but actuall have never used a car wash, if i want something doing i want it doing properly and i do it myself plus as i get increasingly older i find the personal satisfaction i get from doing things for myself..... well basicly i prefer to do stuff myself cos i feel its better than paying others then picking at faults

ie the bit the car wash missed

Have you ever paid for food at a restaurant then instead of cooking for yourself, it's the exact same principle

Well dust is made up of dead skin,hence making it your mess so yes clean it up

Takes about 5 minutes to stick a duster about the place and hoover a room not really goint to take long is it

Takes more than that to clean your house properly, you'd only spend 5 mins cleaning your bathroom?

I wouldn't say it is posh allot of people are getting cleaners in their homes now.

It is just for people who don't have the time.

I don't have one but have been tempted, as they aren't that expensive and some days you can't face the mountain of ironing LOL

However I am like Monica from friends and need everything in a certain place

I was on about dust

At the end off the day,why would you wanna pay some stranger to clean your house?your house - your mess - you clean it

i just dont think i could pay some complete stranger to clean up after me just pure lazyness imo

We have one, have had for years now.

Its not lazy, or posh. Just means we dont have to waste time cleaning shit when we could be doing something better with our time.

Now having a butler, that makes us posh.

I just iron the stuff I want to wear then put it straight on. Personally dont see the point ironing everything to put it away and its never spot on when you get it out anyway. Im fussy like that though.

£50 a day? To clean what?

I was thinking about it, we'd only need one twice a week for a few hours

I dont think its posh neither lazy. Some people have very busy lives running thier own businesses etc and dont have time to do the cleaning and need a rest when they get home.

I know if I was a busy person I'd have better things to do after work other than doing the fucking washing up and cleaning all my life

ours costs £45 a day. comes once a week and cleans the house and then a little ironing if she has time.

also have an ironin lady who does the rest of the ironing for about £15 a week.

Also have a gardener who comes and mows the lawn and any oddjobs for £50 a week.

I voted yes but coming to think about it the son of a neighbour has a big house & a cleaner & gardner etc. Hes far from posh just too busy to do it himself

So, no its not.

Ours is £32 for 4 hous and the house is sotless - we're very clean anyway but we spend next to no time at home - the last thing you want to do when you are at home is deep clean.

Our cleaner comes once a week and gives the whole house a once over; then deep cleans one room per week. All in four hours - she doesn't move anything and apart from being cleaner you wouldn't know she had been in!

Not really. It's a pain in the arse having to come home and clean up, especially if you work long hours.

I'd consider it if i could afford it

Have a gardener though

i really should not mention this due to my previous comments and views but my sister has started up her own buisiness as a mobile domestic cleaner and my mum runs her own laundry buisiness where people leave items to be washed by my mother so it seems i have kinda pooped on my own feet as my family provide these so called lazy services

i do understand reasons why people choose to use these services. I think any one who is wealthy enough to use these services should carry on doing so, not everyone is deemed to be lazy

anyways i would want to do things myself and think that if others have time to do things their self then they should do so especially if they sit around on their arse whilst the cleaner is working around them

why?

People work hard so they dont have to do boring shit like clean. If they have earned the money then why not sit round doing something you consider more interesting and leave the cleaning to someone else.

was jus gonna edit and add a similar comment

think i have sorted side tracked from the original question.

i fully understand that people are busy and they would like to come home to a nice clean home after a hard day at work, if i were in that situation then i would do the same

so to end my mixed up attemps of conversational crap

I dont think it's posh to have a cleaner.
