Hiring Someone to Clean by Kimberly W (GA) on May 23, 2015 @00:18

                              
I have 3 SFH that I rent and one of them will be vacant at the end of the month after 5 years. I always give the tenants the move out letter but they never clean the house to my standards and I always go in and clean after they're gone. Well I'm tired of it and this time I'm going to hire someone to clean the house from top to bottom. This includes washing the walls, shampooing carpets, cleaning ceiling fans, and such. What is a fair price to pay someone to do this? Should they get paid by the job or hour or room or what? Thanks.

Doing all the carpets...I get Stanley steamer in once everything else is done. They charge me $200 for a 3 bedroom house. (This is only upstairs...no carpets down).

My cleaning crew gets paid $300 for the job. This is 2-3 people depending on how fast they have to get it done. They are really good, and will work overnight when I want.

I created this crew. Over the years I had different people work with me to clean...the good ones got called back. Eventually I need them to just do the job since I was out of town. A couple years ago they created a LLC and went into the business!

I recommend you work with whoever you hire. Get to know their work habits and know the quality you are getting. I never had good work consistently from Merry Maids and other cleaning companies. They send their best the first time..after that you get whoever they have sitting around..and the quality takes a nose dive.

Cleaning is so confusing. I'm easy on the tenants leaving and do not hit them for insufficient cleaning. I don't feel like I ever rent a place in "white glove" condition, as one poster here said a few weeks ago.
I do some scrubbing myself or I pay a cleaning crew to do a house cleaning.
The crews charge $330 for 4 hours with 3 people and don't do a great job. Not a deep, thorough cleaning. So, between my scrubbing and the crew's cleaning, I rent it out.
