I seen this post and it really hit home especially today! THIS IS MY NOT MY SIDE GIG! This Is MY JOB which is what I also use to pay bills and keep kids fed.
PSA ‼️
I do NOT pocket money from every invoice sent. Let me break this down for you if you’re thinking about hiring & shocked with pricing.
Things I HAVE to pay for in order for my businesses to operate:
-Cleaning Products
-Cleaning Equipment
-Business Insurance
-Vehicle Maintenance /Fuel
-QUARTERLY gross receipts taxes
-Estimated federal taxes
- Phone for Business
I charge what I feel is right & based on my knowledge. I’ve spent months figuring out a pricing system that works. ❤️
Please remember when reaching out for quotes. The bigger the home you have, the more you’re going to pay. Especially if it’s just once a month, That’s just facts. Houses get dirtier the longer they sit without being cleaned, put into factor number of people living in the house, pet/pet hair, sticky floors and counters. Dirty bathrooms. The list goes on!!
People don’t complain when they go get their hair done knowing it’s gonna be high ( they still tip) very rarely do cleaners get tips! Although I am very thankful for my clients who do spoil me on top of my prices!
Say something breaks in your home and you need a plumber, electrician, hvac etc you know those prices aren’t cheap but you still pay them. So your house stays in order. When booking vacations, you pay the expensive fees to stay in a condo or hotel.
House cleaners do more than you think. We put our heart and soul into this and wear our bodies out. So remember if your unhappy with someone’s prices and try to find cheaper you will only get cheaper results which lead to being unhappy all because you wanted to complain about a price.
