    Hi, hope someone can give me some indication of what one would charge to clean someones house?
    Finding it hard to find a part-time job so I'm thinking about starting to clean peoples houses but have no idea what to charge.

    thanks in advance

    Feck per hour. Most places will do flat rate, so the person doesn't take the piss. A few people pay €35 for what equals 3 hours work, but if they do it in less than 3 hours, still gets the €35 - this promotes efficiency rather than someone who'll the 3 hours work load in 4 hours to get more money.

    Oh, and word of mouth means more business.

    Always make sure to agree what's to be done, a lot will try to screw you, with the likes of "as you're there would you give the windows a quick wipe" or unrealistic expectations of what can be done in 1 or 2 hours.

    Thanks for the replies. I plan on doing the cleaning while my daughter is in creche so ive 3 hours free every morning. I like the idea of a flat rate, makes sense.

    I'll defo be careful to make sure we're all clear on whats being done. The last thing I want is any sort of misunderstanding leading to an unsatisfied customer!

    My mother does this. She on average gets paid 10-15 ph. But a lot of the people she cleans for have a set number of hours (usually 3hr) and then she finishes up. I agree witht the person above...a ot have unrealistic expectations in that time frame...clearly people who have never had to clean much before!

    If your able can you vote for me (Helena) by clicking the link below. thanks :D:D:D
