[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]

I’m the PP you quoted - you aren’t the exploitive posters I was referring to - I was agreeing with you because you actually pay a fair wage and understand the math[/quote]
