    Anywhere from l5 per hour to 25 per hour. Take your pick. I have paid those prices and everything in between. Mainly you have to go and make a judgment on how long it will take you to clean.

    Hi, alibaba1!

    Where is the approximate location where you want to have this kind of business, please? Prices can vary greatly, depending on the location.

    You can figure what you might want to make per hour, and also aim high in doing so, but you want to be competitive and not price yourself so far above the competition that people aren't going to want to hire you.

    Have you already had experience cleaning for others in order to make a profit for yourself?

    Thanks!

    You may also charge by the square foot just Google what is the going rate per sq. ft. for cleaning services. Residentual cleans, you have to be able to beat the current rate your competitors are charging, especially due to the economical status.

    Most residential cleaning is charged by the hour and varies a lot in different areas. Tickle's $15 to $25 per hour is good and it is in the range for most areas.

    In some residential cleaning they want you to do additional jobs; clothes washing, dishes, etc, if that is the case then again the hourly rate is more appropriate.
