I clean OP houses. I charge $20 an hour and Im worth it.
My clients say how many hours and how deeply they want their house cleaned. I start with the most important rooms and work until their time is up. Most of my houses are every other week so I rotate cleaning lesser used rooms. That way if you just want light cleaning I get further. I think an hourly charge works out better. That way peeps get what theyre willing to pay for. If you want me to make your beds and put all your stuff away and wash your clothes then thats what you pay for. I also do other stuff like organizing, light maintenance stuff, landscaping, painting lawn furnitue wahing windows etc.
I agree the neatnicks are harder to clean. They dont seem to unsestand that if a surface has a little dirt or a lot you still have to clean it the same. Also I dont just wipe stuff off. I clean and polish. Personally I prefer to clean the dirty peeps houses. They get excited when they come home to a house thats been spit shined.
I just dropped one of my neatnicks cause I got tired of the nitpicking. Life is too short and besides that I have a waiting list.
I dont expects woops of joy from my clients like in the commercials. But when Ive polished a bathroom until you can see your self in the tile I dont appreciate being told the overflow hole in the sink isnt clean enough.
