Domestic Servitude

From time to time I get asked by random strangers over the telephone if I would be interested in "Domestic Servitude" where some bloke is proposing to do some cleaning in exchange for a session. Now, how can I put this nicely?
Er, I do not value your cleaning at £200/hr. I have never met a cleaner, who was paid that much and it is for a very valid reason: it is because general cleaning is worth more like £7/hour.
My specialised services are priced at £200/hour for a very valid reason. It is because I have over 15 years of experience in this very specialised field and also I offer fully equipped, purpose built dungeon that has pretty much everything you can ask for and it caters for a wide variety of services. When these people who enquire about a "Domestic Servitude in exchange for a session" find out that their 1 hour session will cost 28 hours of cleaning duties they suddenly loose interest in rubbing their dirty little rags around my kitchen.... Surprise surprise...
Anybody who has got the decency to pay for the privilege to clean my toilet usually leaves it in a worse state than when they arrived. Rubbing their dirty little rags around my toilet bowl whilst dribbling all over themselves does not make for the best cleaning results. So there is no incentive, I am afraid, to give anyone a free session in exchange for their pathetic cleaning efforts.
