Why I Charge $35/Hour — A Transparent Breakdown

I’d like to gently address a comment I hear from time to time:
“That seems expensive for cleaning if you don’t have formal certification.”

I understand where that thought comes from, so here’s some transparency around what that $35/hour actually covers, and why it’s fair.

I am a business, not just a person with a mop.
When you hire me, you’re not paying “take-home pay.” You’re paying for a professional service that comes with real costs and responsibility.

Here’s where that $35/hour goes:

Supplies & Equipment
Quality cleaners, tools, vacuum maintenance, microfiber replacement, etc.

Transportation Costs
Fuel, vehicle maintenance, insurance, and wear and tear from driving job to job.

Business Expenses
• Insurance & liability coverage
• Licensing & registration
• Booking, communication, and admin time (unpaid hours clients don’t see)
• Taxes (self-employed taxes are significantly higher)

Experience & Reliability
While I may not hold a formal “certificate,” I bring:
• Hands-on experience
• Efficiency (jobs done properly, not rushed or sloppy)
• Trustworthiness in your home
• Consistency you don’t get from bargain cleaners

Local, Independent, Human
Supporting my business means supporting a local mom working to provide stability and quality care for her family. Not cutting corners or exploiting underpaid labor.

Perspective Matters
Tradespeople, nurses, and other professionals aren’t paid just for tools or certificates — they’re paid for responsibility, reliability, physical labor, and skill. Cleaning is no different.

✨ $35/hour is not “absurd.” It’s sustainable, fair, and standard for insured, independent residential cleaning.

I’m always happy to answer respectful questions — but I’ll never apologise for charging what it takes to do good work and stay in business.

Thank you to my amazing clients who value quality and transparency. 💙

✨ Why Move-Out & Move-In Cleans Take Time (and Why It’s Worth It!) ✨

A move-out or move-in clean isn’t your typical “quick tidy.”
These jobs take hours because they’re a top-to-bottom, every-nook-and-cranny kind of clean. 🧽

When a home is empty, we can see (and need to clean) EVERYTHING — even the spots that get missed during regular cleaning:
✅ Inside & outside of cupboards and drawers
✅ Behind, under and interior of all appliances
✅ Walls, baseboards, trim, doors, and light switches
✅ Windowsills, tracks, and blinds
✅ Bathrooms, top to bottom
✅ Carpets and floors in every room

Unlike a standard clean, nothing is “surface only” — it’s all deep cleaning, which means scrubbing, sanitizing, and restoring the home so it’s fresh and ready for the next chapter.

So if your cleaner says it’ll take 8–12 hours, (and sometimes more) they’re not overcharging — they’re making sure the place is spotless.
✨ The result? A home that looks (and smells!) brand new. ✨

📦 Moving? Book your move-out or move-in clean early — these ones fill up fast!

🚫 **Why Dry Mop Powders, Bleach & Laundry Detergent Can RUIN Your Floors** 🚫

We’ve all seen cleaning “hacks” online that promise sparkling floors using things like scented powders, bleach, or even laundry detergent — but here's the truth: those shortcuts can cost you *big time* in damage.

❌ **Dry Mop Powders:**

- Leave behind a gritty residue that dulls shine

- Can cause **fine scratches** on wood, laminate, or vinyl

- Stir up dust and **worsen allergies** for kids and pets



❌ **Bleach:**

- Too harsh for most flooring — it can **strip protective coatings**

- Causes **discoloration** or yellowing

- Corrosive to grout and **unsafe for kids and pets** if residue stays behind.

❌ **Laundry Detergent:**

- Not designed for floors — it **leaves a sticky film** that attracts dirt

- Causes **slippery surfaces** and buildup

- Can **damage waterproof seals** and finishes over time

- Strong fragrances or additives may cause **skin irritation** on contact


✅ **What You *Should* Use:**

- A **neutral-pH floor cleaner** designed for your specific floor type

- **Warm water and a microfiber mop** (less is more!)

- Natural cleaners like diluted vinegar or castile soap — safe, simple, and effective



At Maid for Cleaning, I don’t use gimmicks — I use real knowledge and professional tools to keep your floors looking their best for years to come. 🌟

Let your floors *live longer* — clean them smart! 💧

Why You Should Dust *Before* You Vacuum 🧹

Here’s a cleaning truth bomb: Dust doesn’t just live on shelves and baseboards—it clings to your walls like it pays rent. (And we wish it would 😅)

If you vacuum *before* dusting, all that sneaky dust from your walls, furniture, and shelves just floats down like it’s snowing inside… right onto your freshly cleaned floors. Nooo thanks.

👉 Dust top to bottom, left to right—yes, even those mystery smudges on the walls—then vacuum it all up like the cleaning hero you are. 🦸‍♀️✨

Trust me, your home (and your sinuses) will thank you.
