I’ve had to raise my prices over the past few weeks, and I know that’s caused some clients to step away, and I understand. We aren’t for everyone unfortunately. We all have budgets!
But I wanted to put things into perspective as a small business owner.
For example—
I’ve heard people say, “$40 an hour for cleaning is too much… I don’t even make that at my job.”
And honestly? I don’t either.
At $40/hour, I’m not making money, I’m actually paying out of pocket to have your home cleaned.
Once you factor in:
• Taxes
• Employee wages
• Supplies
• Overhead
• Insurance
There’s nothing left… actually, there’s a loss.
Running a business isn’t just about what you “take home” — it’s about what it costs to operate responsibly, pay employees fairly, and provide a reliable service you can count on.
So I’ll ask this:
Would you pay to go to work?
Because that’s exactly what happens when prices are too low. Yes, you can find someone cheaper.
But isn’t the peace of mind of being fully insured, properly vetted and doing things the right way worth it?
I’m so grateful for every client who continues to support us, understands the value of what we do, and trusts us in their homes.
And if we’re no longer the right fit for your budget, I completely respect that too. No hard feelings!
