What is a reasonable hourly rate for housekeeping? Sweep, mop, dust, clean the kitchen type work. No laundry, ironing or specialty work. Not topless either.

And in b4 got damn tree fiddy, $3.50, around three fifty, etc.
For your troubles.

$25-35 an hour seems about normal these days.

We don't pay ours an hourly rate. She comes every 2 weeks for deep cleaning - windows, baseboards, mopping, etc., and we pay her a flat $75. She's usually there 3-4 hours, so I guess that comes out to around $25 per hour. She brings all her own cleaning supplies.

Her name is Marta and she is from Brazil(legal). She's taught my daughter some Portuguese.

Our housekeepers make minimum wage or slightly above. I work at a business though, not residential

$60 for however long it takes, usually about 2.5 hours. We do the dishes and put everything away, but she’ll clean the range and microwave.

$80 every other week. She's at the house for 4 hours each visit.

Find someone who can barely speak English.

Thx. Lady quoted me $45 an hour this morning. I thought it sounded high given the work type. Hell, I would do housework for $45 an hour. LoL. That’s $90k a year.

We pay a flat rate, not by the hour. We pay ours $110 and she cleans for 7 to 8 hours on average. She charges an additional $5 for any miscellaneous chores we ask he to do, such as laundry, washing dishes, or folding clothes. Her rate is based off the square footage of our house.

We were paying ours $35 per hour, but found out she was illegal. I was so disappointed because she was awesome. On the bright side, I threatened to turn her over to immigration and now she only charges me $12 per hour.

I pay $70/visit every 2 weeks. I have no idea how that breaks down on an hourly basis. She comes and goes while I am not there.

We pay $100 for one monthly cleaning. Two story/2700 sq ft.

Floors, dusting, countertops/surfaces, dishes, bathrooms, changing linens, emptying trash, etc.

We prefer a team over one lady. The lady who runs the service we use sends 2-3 ladies over and they’re in and out fast. They’re also less likely to miss things...more eyes.

Some of yall are getting reamed. We pay ours $45 a day and she comes twice a week. Maybe 4 hours or less a day. So shes making 11-12 dollars an hour. Not 25-35. That's crazy.

And we have used the same lady for 5 years now and she does a great job. And I tip her about 25 for the week on the Friday that she comes.

Tell your significant other to get off her arse and clean her own house. Matter of fact why don’t you help her.

Where do you live? My guess is there isn’t a whole lot of demand in your area?

I live in the ATL metro area and good luck finding someone who will spend half the day cleaning your house for $45....well someone who will do a good job and won’t steal your stuff anyway.

Pay a Mexican lady $50 from 8 am - 1 pm every Wednesday.

Doesn’t speak a lick of English.

Washes dishes, vacuums, mops, dusts, makes beds, etc. She’ll fold clothes if there’s a load in the dryer, but she typically doesn’t do laundry.
