2000 sq. ft.

[Linda]

Hey everyone,

Just need some feedback. I am meeting with a lady Tuesday to clean a 2ooo sq. ft. home. No pets, no children, 2 elderlies. This could be an important account for me. I am meeting with the daughter in her "office". They were very unhappy with the last cleaners who supposedly did not do all they said they would do Anyway, like I said this one is really important so would I be doing a bad thing to only charge $150.00 for the initial and $110.00 bi-weekly? I know I could charge more, but for reasons that are important to me I want to bid this one low without going too low. Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Linda

The 150.00 for initial sounds fine but for your area the 110.00 for bi-weekly sounds a bit high.

Hmm, you may be right. I may call a friend of my hubbys who services this area and see what she would charge. What about $90.00 I could be okay with that.

Thanks,

I think for a 2000 sq.ft. home the maintenance cleanings should run 90.00 a cleaning with no pets or children in the house.

Well they do have 2 cats that come an go, but they dont stay in the house and there is no litter box in the home.

I have 24000 that I do weekly for $85. is that to low?

85.00 for weekly cleaning isn't too low. If it were bi-weekly it would be too low.

Ok Patti, another question about this.

If the cats roam outside during the day, but stay inside during the night would $90.00 still be a better price? I have never seen this home, talking to her on phone.

Thanks,
Linda

I think for the area you are in that 90.00 for a 2000 sq.ft. home is top dollar. If it were a larger home you could ask for more.

Well I just added "my aunt" as a client today. Bi-wkly starting this Friday lol. This is the aunt that I am very close to so I am actually happy about it. She accepted my price with no problem and wants me to help her organize as well. I made a deal with her on that one. I help her organize, she helps me paint lol. She is a nurse, but would have been one heck of an Interior Decorater.
