How big is your house? When we had a cleaning lady it was $70 a go. Under $2000 for every second week.

[infecto]

$70 a go? That’s got to be the cash only person to person handshake agreement. That would never buy you laundry too.

I think I remember maybe around $100 including laundry almost 20 years ago and that was a cash type arrangement, weekly including laundry (multi hour visit).

I have a 1300 sqft house, 3b2b. Costs me around $200 for a cleaning.

[soperj]

Ours was a 1300 3b1b. It was $35 an hour, they finished everything in under 2 hours. I'm guessing(hoping!) they have to be there for more than 2 hours for $200?

Same, it was $150 for 1400 sq ft house last I did it, so roughly same ballpark. I do remember it being closer to $80 10ish years ago though.

Similar here for 2500 finished sq ft.

[rfrey]

There is a lot of variance in the price of cleaning tied to location. Cost of living in the area for sure, but also presence or absence of economic migrants and new immigrants.

2500 finished square feet in a MCOL east coast metro (Baltimore).

Wondering if you're closer to the southern border or something.

[soperj]

Southern border of Canada yeah.
