If this is a small cleaning business charging an hourly rate would probably be your best bet. I would add in a few dollars an hour for driving time and gas. I would think 15 to 18 an hour would be a good price. Some houses you can do quicker than others.

There are two schools of thought

1) charge by the square footage. IE a common formula in Dallas TX is charges 5 cents per square foot for standard cleaning and 10 cents per square foot for deep cleaning. (from here -

2) an hourly rate. YOu can either charge $15 to $25 an hour, depending on whether your area is served by a Merry Maids or other corporate outfit that undercuts small business operators or not, as well as general competition

the advantage of price per square footage is that in theory if you work fast you can earn the same as an hourly rate and optimize your time. And possibly clients would like the idea of a fixed price, regardless of how long it took you

You could call a few cleaning services near your location and request pricing on those specific duties to get a price check.

You can try to research cleaning rates online in your area to best determine what you want your rates to be.
