    Hi Michael

    Sorry, but as you have probably gathered at this point, we have no idea what you should be charging for this job. The only way to know what to bid on a job like this is to gain experience on smaller jobs and work your way up. I hate to be cliché, but there are no shortcuts when it comes to stuff like this...experience is the only teacher here!!

    Good luck!

    Offer to do one day by the hour, with a 10% discount, after which you will work up a fixed quote.
    If you got an hourly wage as a cleaner, double it. At least.
    Make a line item list of what cleaning covers - EXACTLY.
    Have a short list at the bottom for additional extras as needed, such as coffee stains on carpet or washing walls once a year. You can think of all that. Cleaning well is only a tiny part of being a good business owner. Don't forget, you owe self employment taxes, and need liability insurance, etc. So don't UNDER QUOTE!!
