How much should I be charged for house cleaning?

Question

My house is 4600 sq ft. But basicly only 3000 would need to be cleaned. Blinds, moldings, ect.....

Answer 1

I live in an economically depressed area of North Carolina and pay $15 an hour.  My person is booked solid all the time.

Answer 2

I cleaned houses for a living a few years ago.  I was charging anywhere between $75-$100 per week.

Answer 3

I think $150 is high, unless you live in NYC. If you live in a big city, I'd say that is about right.  However, if you live a town or more rural area, I would say $100 or less is more appropriate.

Answer 4

My house is half the size of yours and I paid 100 dollars every two weeks.  The price is affected by how often they will be cleaning. With cleaning services, get it in writing as far as what they will and won't do.  That way there are no misunderstandings later on.  I was mainly interested in cleaning of the bathrooms and living areas, dusting, blinds and tile floor.  (my entire house is tile)

BTW, I don't live in NYC.  I am in Nevada.

Answer 5

expect to pay about $150 for a fairly decent job.
