I'm once a week going to be thoroughly cleaning a friend's 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. It's a good size house with 2 dogs. I'll be mopping, washing, vacuuming, cleaning kitchen, and bathrooms.

I am not sure the hours, but what should I charge? I'm thinking $15/hrs, but not sure if that is too much or not enough.

I've had a cleaning service since 1989. Never charge by the hour. Just like anything else the longer you do it the better and faster you get at it so you will only cut yourself short. I would charge probably 65.00 a visit if it's once a week. 85.00 if every two weeks and 100.00 if once a month. Could be a little more depending on the condition. The first clean would be around 100.00 because the first clean is always the worst.

Again if it's pretty trashed it would be more. Another reason to charge more for the initial clean is in case they have you clean once then decide they no longer want you. Since this is a friend you might knock some off the price but I wouldn't get in the habit of doing that.

I have been cleaning a house and making $85 a week. This house is 3400 sq. ft and now they have tacked on about 7 loads of laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and bringing in the trashcan after the city has collected it. Please help.

I don't want to sound like a prude, but don't want to be there for an extra 5 hrs doing laundry. I get there at 7:30 and don't leave until almost 5 now. I am actually done cleaning house between 11-12.

I have a four bedroom, five bathroom house to clean. How much should I charge? I gave a client a quote of 140.00 dollars by way of phone through thumbtack.

Now when I get there if it is more work than expected after I do walk through can I give a different quote?

Certainly, you can't make money if you work for less than you find on your walk-through. Simply call the customer and explain.

If they do not want to pay more, move on to your next customer. Work for free or work for full price; never work for nothing!

Yes, you should certainly up your quote if you feel that the job can not be done properly for the phone quote. They either accept it or they don't. Move on to the next job if they don't. $140 for an entire house sounds far too little to me!

In my area, it's about $15 an hour. That's with the cleaner providing all materials and equipment.

I cleaned house for many years. Most all houses take between 4 and 5 hours to clean. UNLESS thet have not been cleaned on a regular basis. If that is the case, the 1st time through it will take you twice as long. You need to know the going rate for your area. Where I live it is $30 an hour.

This is a high cost of living area. Decide what your hourly rate will be, and your transportation costs, and you will know approximately what to charge. I cleaned most houses for $120 to $160. Dont shortchange yourself, It is hard work and you cant work much more than 5 hours a day.
