How to charge for house cleaning business?

I am starting a house cleaning business I am trying to figure out how to charge clients. I was thinking $10 per room. Does that sound like enough or too much? We do the following – clean bathroom, kitchen, all floors and dust everything in the house, plus door glass. Bring all our own supplies. I told one person what I charge and she though it was outrageous! I don’t think it is though…I have to hire another cleaner at $9 an hour and buy all supplies. What do you think? Oh, we are in Hannibal Mo.

I think you are better off to charge by the hour, rather than the room.

It’s also highly location dependent. We pay $120 per clean here in Canada, but only $40 for our similar house in Phoenix.

I suggest you do some market research. Phone some cleaners in your area, and ask them for an estimate to clean your house. Then match the competition.
