I recently started a home/office cleaning service. Called most of the co. in my area first, to get an idea of what they charge. I started with an hourly rate of $20-25/hour. But, then they only want me for 2 hrs., and I am hustling to get the entire home cleaned in that time frame. Since I just started, I am not sure how to look at a home and figure out how long it will take me to clean it. Would appreciate advice from others, thank you.

Here are some quotes for cleaning a home.
I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.
Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
I was so emotional. Choked up. I could hardly talk all day. I'll be cleaning out my trailer and saying goodbye soon, realizing what a wonderful experience this has been.
Life is denied by lack of attention, whether it be to cleaning windows or trying to write a masterpiece.
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
There are various factors to consider when you are cleaning a house like:-
Frequency of cleaning, you will work daily, biweekly or monthly.
no of rooms in the house or it is big or small
Number of surfaces are cleaned
Number of people or pets living in the house
How much experience you have in cleaning
How many peoples are there with you for cleaning
So, all these factors should be included when you go for cleaning job. According to my view, there are $75 for small house i.e. 2500 sq.ft. per cleaning
For medium-sized or large, you can place $100 per cleaning.
So, all the best for your job...
The Square Footage Method You must select a rate per square foot for this method of pricing. You might, for instance, charge $0.10 per square foot. Divide 10 cents by 2,000 if the house you're cleaning is 2,000 square feet. Therefore, a 2,000-square-foot house costs $200.
