Setting Housecleaning Fees?

There are different rates for different areas. Figure out an hourly rate and multiply that by the number of hours required to do the job.

I pay $20.00 an hour for 3 weeks out of the month for changing linens, vacuuming and dusting 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, my office, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and pantry. I do all deep-cleaning myself. I believe women have a tendency to undercharge their worth. I hired a bonded, self-employed woman who became a great friend of mine over the past years. She started only asking for $5.00 an hour 4 years ago and I was shocked that others were taking unfair advantage of her when cleaning companies are hiring out and charging a Minimum of $50.00 an hour in my rural area and paying their employees $8-10. Becoming bonded opens great opportunities to expand if you want to. Hope this helps- :) Liz

My cleaner charges $65 every two weeks for the spaces you listed (I have a small house).

You will probably receive so many different suggestions that it will be difficult for you to decide what to use.

You can check out some of the sites that offer advice on how to figure cost but you will have to figure your factors as all of these will be general instructions.

Things to consider:
Distance you have to travel.
How long do you think it will take you to clean each of these rooms.
Do they need a first deep cleaning? If so, maybe a higher first fee should be considered.
How bad do you need the job?
Is this going to be your only cleaning job or do you plan to go for other jobs?
Your cleaning supplies or theirs?
Work hours are reasonable for you?
Be sure everything expected of you is thoroughly discussed; such as cleaning windows? Deep cleaning refrigerator or stove? Mopping floors every time? And maybe other items...
