A little reminder about cleaning services and pricing...🧼✨️
I completely understand that everyone has different budgets, and I will always respect that. However, I also ask that the time, effort and costs involved in providing a professional cleaning service are respected in return.
My cleaning prices are set for a reason. Cleaning takes time, knowledge, skill and a great deal of physical effort. Behind every clean are business expenses including cleaning products, equipment, insurance, fuel, wages, tax and the general costs of running a legitimate business.
People are often happy to pay a window cleaner for 15–30 minutes of work, or a gardener for 30–60 minutes, without questioning their charges. Yet when it comes to domestic cleaning, there often seems to be an expectation that several hours of hard work should come at a significantly lower price. Professional cleaning is no less valuable than any other service.
Recently, I've attended a few cleans where the work required has been considerably more than what was initially discussed, resulting in additional time and effort beyond the original agreement. Whilst I always do my best to accommodate my clients, I cannot continually provide additional work at no extra cost.
My prices reflect the service being provided, and the level of cleaning will reflect the time and budget agreed. If someone wishes to spend less, that is absolutely fine, but the cleaning tasks will need to be adjusted accordingly. A reduced budget cannot reasonably come with the expectation of the same amount of work.
I take pride in my work, I care about the results I deliver, and I genuinely love what I do. But ultimately, I am running a business, not just offering a helping hand.
I will always respect your budget, but please respect my pricing, my time and my work in return. 🩷✨
