    I don't know that it is possible to give some sort of average for what you will make after spending money on supplies and such. It would depend on the individual situation for where you will be doing the cleaning. Most of the house cleaners that I know are supplied almost everything that they will need to do the cleaning by the owners of the homes where they do the cleaning.
