I'd always have a cleaner, so long as my hourly rate was more than theirs. In other words, if I can earn more per hour in my office than I'd pay per hour of cleaning, then it makes sense to hire someone to do it. I do have the luxury of choosing what hours I work though.

As it happens, one of our lodgers is a cleaner, so he does it as part of his rent. The other lodger is a security guard - how perfect is that?!
