Then when we booked her to come every other week, it dropped to $70. She's here about 2-3 hours, sometimes brings another person with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347308 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 18:00:56 +0000 Meridian 2347308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$90 for 4 hours, we have a 1200 sq foot condo, 2 BR &amp; 2 Baths. Sounds like our lady is slow, some of the times above are for more bedrooms!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347300 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 17:50:09 +0000 LilSprinkles 2347300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pay $87 for cleanings.

Her daughter just joined her so we still pay the same but she is done much quicker which means she can do more clients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347290 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 17:28:24 +0000 erinbaderin 2347290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm outside Toronto, and I pay $113 (including tax (for 2 people to clean for 2 hours).

Our house is 1900 sq ft, 4 bdrms, 3 bath and we are in Southern CA. I personally think it's a good price, she does a great job, we really like her as a person, and she's very trustworthy (She starts with the upstairs and when she starts the downstairs I leave the house with the babies as not to get in her way). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347276 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 17:08:00 +0000 Bubbles 2347276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pay £10 per hour for 3 hours a fortnight. It's a 2 bedroom flat. Worth every penny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347267 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 16:53:53 +0000 Mrs Panda 2347267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pay $130 per visit, every two weeks, for two people to work about 3 hrs. We're in a pretty expensive area though (Bay Area). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347265 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 16:52:08 +0000 Mrs D 2347265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3,000 sq ft...most quotes I get are $90-$120 per visit which is a team of 2 for 3 hours (6 hours) or 3 for 2 hours (6 hours)...this is for every 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347244 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 16:21:51 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2347244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a lady come that was $25 an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347237 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 16:18:38 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2347237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've paid between $65 and $90 per bi-weekly session depending on what the cleaning person asked for. Each of them came by the house and gave us an estimate and we just paid what they asked. I've not had good luck with individuals because they eventually disappear on us, so we are currently with a cleaning company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347236 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 16:18:11 +0000 travellingbee 2347236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$75 for 4 hours every other week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347217 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:56:28 +0000 lamariniere 2347217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pay €12/hr and she cleans 4 hours each week. Our place is about 1500 sq ft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347204 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:45:42 +0000 MaryM 2347204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also pay per visit not per hour. The woman bases it on the size of the house, and what we're asking her to do (deep cleaning is more than regular cleaning). She also said it would be less if she comes more often because it wouldn't be as much work. I think we pay $150 for her to come once a month? That's for a 3 bed, 2.5 bath house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347199 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:38:36 +0000 Charm54 2347199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She charges 10$ an hour and she comes for 4 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347194 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:34:58 +0000 Mamasig 2347194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and now my sister clean houses as a side job. They don't charge by the hour. They look at the size of the house and what the person wants clean and charge that way. I would say most of the houses take about 4 hours or so and they probably charge about 125 - 150. And this is going every 2 weeks. They also are there to clean and not pick up the house. People will pay extra if they want something specific or a deeper clean (windows, etc) done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347181 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:23:33 +0000 tofuwad 2347181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Silicon Valley (just outside the San Francisco area) and have paid $75 for two hours to do a deep clean on a ~600sq ft apartment. </p> <p>We were originally quoted $50 but they did a really thorough job because we had a mouse in the house and I had them sanitize all the places where the mouse had been because I was 16 weeks pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347179 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:23:17 +0000 youboots 2347179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$110/visit 1x a month for 2000 sq feet. $160 if they do the basement. It's a woman, her husband and their daughter- it is usually 2 of them for about 2 hours so $25/hr ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347177 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:23:00 +0000 lawbee11 2347177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pay by sq ft not hourly. $80 every visit (she comes every other week) and she usually cleans for about 4 hours.

She's there somewhere between 3-4 hours, she's got to clean the full house each time, she might not need to put in any elbow grease, but it's still a lot of surface to cover.</p> <p>I think a lot of people won't come out unless it's worth their time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347171 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:19:19 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2347171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a woman who came to see our house and gave us an estimate. She comes every-other week. $100 for a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath house (though the reality is that she only cleans 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths about 80% of the time since the other is the guest room).<br /> I want her to come every week, but she won't reduce the price at all, and I can't spend $400/month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347168 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:18:21 +0000 Golden 2347168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pay $140 biweekly for 5 hours and I would eat less or sell my body to pay for her if I had to. She is wonderful and worth every penny. I haven't cleaned a toliet or a bathtub in over a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347162 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:13:32 +0000 PrincessBaby 2347162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't given an hourly quote. They came to my home and did an estimate based on rooms/sf. We pay about $250 a month ($125 per cleaning). It usually takes one woman about 4 hours and if they send a team of 2, it takes less time than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347151 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:04:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2347151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our old place- one bed one bath- it was $80 for once a month. That seemed a little on the high side. They came while we were at work so I don't know how long they were there or how many people it was. </p> <p>We've had a lady come here to our 2 bed 2 bath that charged $70, which is cheap, but I don't think she did as thorough of a job. It should be slightly less if you are doing t more frequently, I would think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-have-an-individual-cleaning-person#post-2347150 Fri, 06 Nov 2015 15:04:16 +0000 Autumnmama79 2347150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$20 per hour, she comes for 3 hours, once a week.
