The cost of maid service, ?

Question

I would like someone twice a week to do basic cleaning to include laundry, what do you think is a fair price,I prefer not to pay by the hour but by the job

Answer 1

$139 for two maids every other week to clean the kitchen, three bathrooms,  living room, dining room, family room,  master bed room and one additional bed room.  Takes them about 2.5 hours to do it.   That includes wiping off all horizontal surfaces,  fronts of stoves and ovens,  mirrors and shower stalls and vacuuming all the rooms.  It does not include any windows or anything over the head that would require a step stool to reach.

Answer 2

You should pay by the day, as this person needs some stability to make them want to keep coming back.  I recommend 3 hours a day at

$45 per day if they are not with a service and $65 if they have to share.  You will get what you pay for.

Answer 3

I pay my maid, "Juanita", $2.50/hr.  I think that's a fair wage considering I'm being generous and not turning her *** into the ICE.

If you get you an illegal you can totally blackmail a cheap wage out of them! FTW!

Answer 4

I have done this sort of work before. I would say I got anywhere from $90/wk. to $150/wk. I did clean quite a few loads of clothes and also cooked dinner the 3 times a wk I was there.

You have to consider gas prices as well. This maid will have to drive to you. I would try to find someone close.

Answer 5

call a maid service to find out.

Answer 6

Maybe with laundry it can be $15 per load/bag. its hard to give you a good idea of what to cost because you didn't list much. I hope at least that helps :)
