Unfortunately times are getting tougher for smaller businesses...l have heard some businesses are really struggling and l know how they feel!!!
So l'm just politely saying that if you require my business...please do not ask me to reduce my prices!!!!! Think about it...by the time you add travel(fuel), equipment(vaccum ect), cleaning items(products) plus stationary(business cards, invoice books, pens, uniforms, merchandise) it all adds up!!!
I've had people make enquiries over the years and apparently get the "shock of their life" when l say my hourly rate!!!
WELL GUESS WHAT!!!
THERE ARE COMPANIES OUT THERE THAT CHARGE WAY MORE THAN I DO!!!
Like all of us, l have bills to pay, kids to feed and have to put fuel in the car just like everyone else...
So to make it easier here is a summary of my prices:
General cleans 2hrs $55 per hr=$110
General cleans 3hrs $55 per hr=$165
General clean over 3hrs+ $55 per hr can be more than $165 ect.
General cleans usually involve bathroom/toilet
Bedrooms kitchenp loungeroom media room(if you have one) laundry wipe over and hallway floors. Sometimes l can squeeze in wipe over of kitchen/bathroom cupboards doors light switches or just fiddly bits.
On the occasion, l get asked about windows doors patios stairs walls/ceilings and ovens. These are more full on and intense jobs, these incur extra charges.
I understand that most people will not be happy with this, but l'm honest and refuse to "beat around the bush".
Some have also asked about if l can work on public holidays...l can but that is an extra $30 per hr, on top of my usual hourly rate. Other businesses charge between $50 - $80 or more an hour on public holidays.
Then after June, my rate will go up to $60 per hr, due to the rising costs of everything!!!
So there you have it...just putting it out there and hope this helps...
