    We pay €12.50 an hour in Dublin which seems to be the going rate. We also provide all equipment/cleaning products necessary.

    Ring a cleaning company in the area, and find out what they are charging, then charge cheaper.

    You do understand that not every customer in the world is solely motivated by the cheapest option. There are plenty of people who are willing to pay a bit more for convenience, quality, reliability etc etc etc.

    It's a hell of a lot easier to make a profit if rock-bottom prices aren't your unique selling point.

    So what if someone charges €2 an hour?
