How much would you charge to do a housecleaning service?

Question

I am thinking about starting a housecleaning service in my area. I need to know how much I should charge, the kinds of things I can expect, and if it would be worth my while or should I just go to a preexisting housecleaning service and work through them?

Answer 1

Start with the pre-existing service, you may decide its too much work.

Answer 2

You may want to start out working for a company first so you have an idea of what you're getting in to. Working for a company may help you learn a system of cleaning and cleaning products that you can take or leave when or if you decide to pursue your own business.
The cleaning company I worked for charged 69 and hour for a first time cleaning. For regular customers , charges were based on the length of time spent in a home or based on the size and also how often we cleaned. Most of the customers were biweekly. The monthly customers were always charged more because it took longer to clean.
If you decide against working for a company you should call local cleaning companies for an estimate. Usually estimates are free. Once they are at your home, you can inquire about the estimate, how they got it and anything else a possible client would ask.

Good luck.

I have a friend that does this. She charges $100.00 for a medium sized house(2 bedroom, 2 bath). Anything larger than that she charges $12.75 per hour . We live in a semi-rural area and the med. sized houses are usually about 1800 to 2000 sq. feet. In a city you probably wouldnt charge that much because the houses would be smaller. Some houses she cleans are over 5000 sq feet and she makes a killing, but it also takes her all day. She is on a schedule with all of her clients and she cleans for them every two weeks. She makes about $600-700 per week.

Answer 4

I wouldn't do just a one price for all thing some people may have huge houses and not worth the while for a certain price. But some may have small houses and think you charge to much so i would say you have to see the situation first then give an estimate.

Answer 5

value is an analogous no be counted whose products you employ. You charge with the help of the hour in view that in case you want to declutter it is roofed. Laundry and folding must be 10 more desirable a load 20 an hour is sturdy. once you bypass to length up the homestead and supplies an estimate you may tell if it takes 30 minutes to sparkling the lavatory or 2 hours They is why you may't charge with the help of the room.

Answer 6

It depends. Check how big the house is, if there any kids (damn is a huge problem to clean up their rooms!! lol) if you have to bring the products on.
Basically a normal house (2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen) 70 bucks fair.
Now if you want to charge per hour is better but is difficult to find someone who wants afford it.

Answer 7

It might depend on the house. The size, how much do you really have to clean, the amount of products you have to use to clean it, how much time and how much the customer is willing to pay.

Answer 8

20.00 an hour
