I really don't know the pricing of homes where you are located but this would be your standard initial cleaning from what is on the list. For a 1200 sq.ft. home for the initial I would charge 225.00 to 250.00 for the initial based on what the client has on the list.

That sounds like a big job & if she is stating she wants all those areas specifically cleaned she sounds like she's picky too!

Make sure you charge enough to make it worth your while & satisfy her too .

Sounds like a good start for you, it sound;s like a 150.00 to 175.00 job to me , but thats just in my area.

I'm with Freddie on this one.

Everything listed is on my deep clean checklist. This is what i do for every deep clean.

I would be around $150-175 as well.

If she wanted inside oven,fridge,etc..... i would charge extra for that.

Hi Beckah,

Patti was right on target for the NH area. I used to charge this amount when I owned my cleaning service.
