Ever wonder where your cleaning fee actually goes?👀🫧
A lot of people assume cleaning companies take home the full amount of a service — but running a legitimate business comes with real costs.
For example, let’s break down a $240 biweekly cleaning:
Client pays: $240
Here’s where that goes:
• Employee labor: ≈ $63
• Supplies, products, equipment, gas: ≈ $15–$20
Total direct cost: ≈ $80
That leaves about $160 before taxes to cover:
• business insurance
• taxes
• licensing
• scheduling software
• marketing
• vehicle expenses
• equipment replacement
• time spent quoting, scheduling, and managing
• and the ability to grow and keep reliable employees
Running a professional cleaning company means paying people fairly, carrying insurance, and maintaining a high standard of service.
We’re proud to operate that way — because it means our clients receive reliable, professional service every time. ✨
Thank you to everyone who supports small businesses like ours!
