hi there

dnt charge per hour, fcharge per visit,

the client will have soe idea of the number of hours that the charge relates to, but-- theyare paying for the visit,

therefre if you finish early then, its a bonus.

regards
martin

yea but just dont tell the Cleaner that.....otherwise s/he will potentially get into the habit of finishing earlier and earlier.........charge the client by the visit but tell the cleaner how many hours is expected of him/her and get her to check with you if she can leave early.........saves any upset that way  :)

Charge between £11 & £15 per hour and another thing worth suggesting to the client is an initial spring/deep clean to get the property up to a high standard which you will maintain.

PS 6 - 8 hours is alot of time for a regular domestic clean. What size of house is it?

6 - 8 hours sounds about right to me, but I can't charge more than £10 per hour as peeps down here are tight sods :)
