    How to Do Estimates for Cleaning Jobs

I put them on doors and doorsteps and hand them out to anyone I see. Go to the nice areas of the home that are medium sized. The bigger homes sometimes are just two much and I find it is more reliable to work by myself. Do just about anything for them within reason. Charge extra for ovens, frigerators, ironing and any jobs that take extra time. Especially windows. I even let their dog or cat out when needed. I have found excellent clients and great friends through the years. I have not gotten rich but I have always done this well to support hree teens and my husband has been disabled for five years. Be honest, reliable and have faith. If it is meant to be it will. Good luck!

    Hi, eddiemoses!

    I just titled and moved your question that you had posted on someone's really old question to it's own thread so that it will be recognized as being your own question. This place doesn't work the same way that a chat room does. So, if someone has a question that's not specifically an answer to to the question that's at the very top of the page, then it's best to be starting a new thread with the new question.

    Concerning your question - How much cleaning experience have you already had working for others in order to make money for yourself?

    Also, are you asking about residential, commercial or both kinds of cleaning situations, please?

    Thanks!
