[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now I feel like I’m overpaying. Everyone is quoting some really low rates here. I lay $240 for monthly cleaning in a similar size home to the OP. [/quote]

We pay $280 for 5300 sq ft. biweekly...you might be overpaying.[/quote]

How many cleaners and how long are they at the house?  That seems ridiculously low, especially if there are 4+ bathrooms (as most 5K+ homes have)
I have a 4K sq ft, 5 bedroom 3.5 bath and it takes 2 cleaners (same each time) ~3-3.5 hours to clean biweekly.  So that is ~$35-40/hour rate.  Given that Minimum wage in my area is ~$17-20, I highly doubt the cleaning service is accepting only $35/hour when they have to pay FICA and healthcare, etc and pay the workers $20+.  [/quote]

Now you understand why this area is full of people who support open borders that exploit immigrant labor : ) When people show you who they are, listen [/quote]

PP paying $280 here and there are usually two folks here for 3 hours so that is six hours total. It's a privately owned service, not a big company, and we actually offered an increase last year from $250/cleaning because they hadn't raised rates in a few years. We aren't exploiting anyone.[/quote]

That's just under 50 and seems reasonable and probably will keep your cleaners happy and trying to do a good job. My cleaner wanted $75 an hour but that's because she's fast and sloppy and and wants the same amount for less time. I suspect a lot of people on here are actually paying more than they think per hour with all the stories about cleaners leaving early, spending time on the phone in their car, etc. [/quote]
