    YOu have to figure your total hourly wage, all costs; labor, admin, taxes, insurance, equipment, supplies, profit, etc (per hour). Then calculate how many hour/s it will take to perform the cleaning per the specifications, that total will give you a price per apartment.

    I have done that I come up with $96.00 for one bedroom and $220.00 for two bedroom. I hope that is resonable.

    The reason I am asking these questions is so that you are aware of the business end of all this; always know your costs -always know your profit/s.

    When you know these you only have to figure the time involved for the total project...
