If you’ve ever gotten multiple quotes and thought…
“why are these SO different??” 👀
Here’s what actually goes into pricing:
✨ You’re not just paying for time
You’re paying for experience, efficiency, and knowing what works (and what doesn’t).
✨ Level of cleaning matters
Maintenance clean ≠ deep clean ≠ move-out clean
These are completely different jobs.
✨ Condition of the home
Two homes the same size can be priced VERY differently based on buildup, pets, and upkeep.
✨ What’s included (and what’s not)
Some cleaners include baseboards, inside appliances, etc.
Others charge those as add-ons.
✨ Supplies + tools
Professional products, equipment, laundry, restocking it all adds up.
✨ Time vs flat rate pricing
Some charge hourly
Some (like me) price per job so clients know exactly what to expect
✨ Business costs people don’t think about
Gas, taxes, insurance, wear and tear on tools, unpaid admin time…
If you’re a cleaner what’s something people don’t realize goes into your pricing?
If you’re a homeowner what confuses you most about quotes?
but i borrowed it ♥️
