as a cc im being asked alot about home cleaning , how do you go about charging, per hour or by job. or by the filth. i dont know BUT I NO YOU DO. GO ON SPILL THE BEANS. PLEASE.peace ron

From what I've learnt on here they charge about £7.00 an hour and pay there mates £6.00. But they don't mind because they enjoy it.

Seriously, I get asked a lot for house cleans, and to me it doesn't seem to be worth the effort!! Hard to get staff, and only a few hours per week, give me commercial any day.

There apear to be several Good Books on Amazon Mainly from US .


THere was a chap on the Carpet Cleaning Section who operates a Home Clean Company  employing 20 Staff.

His name  is Ian Harper.  Maybee he would help you Ron.

If you tell the customer an hourly rate he/she will think its not good value, for example. a 4 bed house with 2 bathrooms etc, if you tell them it will take 2 people 2 hours (4hrs)and the rate will be £11/12 per hour plus vat, they will imediatly think of Mrs mop round the corner who will charge £8 cash in hand. our price £44 + vat or £32 for Mrs mop?
My advise would be charge per job, sell the benefits of what you can do, and how you will clean it, what system etc. then hit them with the price, they will somtimes pull you up and ask you how much per hour it works out at, keep to your guns and tell them you charge per job. in my oppinion you need to be looking at charging arround £12 to £15 per hour.
Kind regards Phil
