I clean a 3 bedroom house with kitchen, living room, den, game room, and 2 bathrooms. I mop, sweep, vacuum, do lots of dusting, wash some clothes, and whatever dishes are in sink wash by hand.
I've been charging the same price for about 5 years; once a month for $150. She now wants it twice a month for less since she feels it will be less dirty, however, she has 2 hairy cats and a dog inside which of course shed a lot so I have to sweep and vacuum all floors before moping.
The home is about a 12 mile drive round trip. She calls me last minute lots of times so I am very convenient for her and trustworthy. I was getting ready to ask for $25 more, but don't want to be over charging if its not fair price.

If you are doing the exact same cleaning twice a month and it takes you the same amount of time, you should ask for more. Or start charging for last minutes cleaning calls. If your customer can't stick to a schedule then she should have to pay for last minute requests.
I charge $25 an hour for basic cleaning, same work as you do for the 3 bedroom house. I have one client that is an hour drive to get there and I supply cleaning supplies for her also. I charge her $150 to clean her place plus add extra money for the gas and cleaning supplies. I add $15 for supplies cleaners and paper towels I use and $20 for the gas because of the distance. She is very happy with paying extra
