How Much to Charge for Cleaning Services
Starting a house cleaning company could prove to be a profitable business. It does not require investing too much. You just have to own a van, the necessary equipment and several employees. The only other expenses are buying cleaning products and vehicle maintenance.
One of the ways to have appropriate prices is to charge hourly. This way the prices would vary according to the work that has to be done. However, cleaning companies charger according to the neighbourhood or city they serve. Houses that are way too messy would require more time for dealing with them. So hourly charges is what is the most appropriate. Some would argue because the cleaning crew cannot work at the same speed every time.
Another option is to charge according to the size of the house/ area that has to be cleaned. You will have to visit the place before giving an estimate. Charging per room in sensible. The price of the cleaning will depend on number of rooms. Bedrooms, bathrooms and living rooms can be charged different amounts, but it is not advisable. Set base prices. For example, a home containing of three bedrooms with two bathrooms will be charged a X amount. However, if the place has an extra bed/bathroom charge an extra Y amount.
Every cleaning company has a list of extras. These are things that are not included in ordinary cleaning: carpet cleaning, window cleaning, trash removal and such services should be charged extra money, since they need special treatment. These extras should be included in the overall cost of the house cleaning. Don’t worry, this is something absolutely normal. Green cleaning could be another extra. If the green cleaning products are more expensive than the ordinary ones. However, it is advisable to provide only environmentally-friendly cleaning procedures. Customers find such services more appropriate for achieving healthy home environment.
