This was very informative, I am indeed a cleaning lady but I want it that way. I don't like working with other people and I only do apartments, but I have a full 5 day schedule and several regulars and I report taxes and the rest of the cleaning ladies are doing their thing too and thriving just because we don't own a company doesn't mean we don't have ambition. I'm truly glad to see you thriving and you're extremely good at what you do and I would never put you down.
Congratulations on your success. I respect anyone that has the hustle within to be their own bosses, solo cleaners, team cleaners and beyond. Not everyone can do it.
I don't think she was putting anyone down. What she said is the plain true, yes, is her opinion, but most people when they decide to go solo, is because they want to make extra money and work for themselves, but without the entrepreneurship mindset. Now, even if you're reporting taxes, without being incorporated, that can cause you trouble with the IRS at some point. Not telling you what to do, but this is exactly what the girl in the video is talking about. and also, CEO mindset means, to own and run a business without having to be present.😍
What she means is your adding and someone with a business is multiplying she works less makes more money and creates opportunities for others to work you focus on getting your schedule booked and getting all the money but you work way more and make less money and help no one but your self your family and the clients i know this because I was the cleaning guy I know have my own business breaking generational curses it sounds harsh but that’s the reality
Those are the clients that everyone should get. But most people just want to lowball you or say your services are too expensive lol. They want everything for free and they pay cheap
Good video by the way. Im in California and people don’t like to hear hourly rate. They are amazed because it sounds like we make more than they do as a nurse or professional. I started quoting flat rate and although it sounds high, they pay it because i explain all what it entails. Charging hourly does sound better but like i said, people dont like to hear it. They shop for minimum wage
I suppose it all depends on how you sell it. Flat rate is another great way to package a clean. What happens when you need more time then expected? Do you let the client know or clean until your done ?
I really appreciate your videos. And maybe you or someone here can answer a question I've had for a long time as an on-again off-again customer of cleaning companies in NJ. I don't understand why cleaning companies charge a different amount based on what is going to be cleaned. If you charge, say $100 an hour, why does it matter whether they're cleaning a refrigerator or doing the laundry or making beds? Work for the hour and get paid for the hour. I HATE it when I call a cleaning company and tell them I need someone and after I give them all the info about my apartment they say, "ok, we'll send someone for 3 hours and it will be $300. Oh, but wait, you want them to clean your refrigerator? Then add $50. Oh, you want them to put your clothes in the washer? That'll be another $50!" Why does it matter whether they'll be spending the 3 hours doing general cleaning or cleaning my oven, refrigerator or putting my clothes in the washer? It's the same 3 hours no matter what they're cleaning.
Thank you for sharing that. I actually agree with you . For example, if a client wanted to pay $100 for an hour of work than it shouldn’t matter what type of work is getting done in that hour as long as it pertains to cleaning
@@juliosandoval8244 well two different ways I got known. 1st I was cleaning for another small cleaning lady about 30 years ago. and she got a cleaning job in a area she didn’t want to work in so she offered it to me and I accepted the job and that took off with other leading cleaning jobs! 2ndly I was at a workout facility that I had joined. It was my second day working out in my life lol and I was telling the man next to me that I was extremely sore from yesterday’s workout and I could barely lift my arms at work and he said what do you do for work? I said clean houses and he looked at the women next to me on the other side and said hey honey did you hear that!? She cleans houses!! We exchanged phone numbers 26 years ago and today and I am still cleaning for them And also got an extreme number of other clients from them! I have never advertised and I am very grateful for that!! I am starting to advertise for commercial cleaning now and it is extremely stressful and exhausting! I wish you lots of success in starting your business! 🌟
Thank you so much for all this information…. I leaned a ton with in 30min. This is best pricing video I have seen. I now feel more comfortable and confident about sending out my quotes. Again, thank you ✨
Am 53 years old At work full-time in a clean. That's my job that I do at work. And I also have a client in afterward that I do. Every other week and I love it. Hopefully I can get more clients😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
New Subscriber!!! I'm looking to start my own cleaning company and you certainly answered alot of my questions. I look forward to binge watching your videos on your channel.
Congrats on staring your cleaning business ! So glad that you found my channel. Here is a link to a bundle of products (this is mot featured on my site) to our top 6 digital products . You may find this useful in your journey .
Thank you soo much for sharing your experience and knowledge. I’ve been sitting on this idea for years and finally getting started. Website and professional number and logo and flyers created. Oh also registered and all that good stuff. Next I have to find the right system to use for booking and keeping track of clients. Creat contracts and hire employees. I have a few ready to work. I just want to get the paper work and back end stuff prepared first. This helps soo much with pricing. A lot of these you tube cleaning channels lead you up to selling something like a course or to pay them for leads and I get it, can’t knock the hustle but come on now we just getting started. But thank God for you tube university, we just gotta do our research and learn from you guys that are sharing from your experience as well as learn as we go. Thanks again for your time and knowledge. I pray your business continues to grow beyond measure. PS. Save some of those NJ clients for me 😂 ❤
You are most welcome. I’d love to be able to share anything that I can to help the next person grow and thrive. Congratulations on just getting started. Procrastination is definitely the number one enemy and I can feel you on that. Super excited that you already have your logo, your flyers and your website. I would suggest using booking koala. I will provide you a link at the end of this comment. I have all the paperwork that you could possibly ever need on my website. If you’d like to check that out, I can absolutely provide you with a coupon code. I love RUclips university for this reason. You are most welcome. I pray that your business also continues to grow and flourish. And no worries girl There are so many people in the state. Let me know your service areas we can possibly Partner up
You are most welcome. I’ve had a lot of help throughout my career, and I understand that you have to make deposits in the universe in order to receive things back.
You are absolutely right I love the education. It helps me myself and husband started our cleaning business last year March 7 and we are doing pretty OK at this point we have two commercial buildings and five residentials and I charge by the hour so many people say you’re not gonna get customers because you charge too much, when I first started ou, I took any Job and I under priced and lost out now I got the hang of it. I am in it. I am loving it, and I love to work with other cleaning businesses to educate myself because I can never learn a lot thank you so much. I’m so impressed with you. Much love for your business.
Congratulations on starting the business with your husband. 2025 will be a year. I’m so glad that you guys are learning the business and understanding the value of the work that we do. It’s so important as professionals that we get paid fairly or able to not cover our expenses but or in a living. Here is a link of you and your husband whenever like to get on a coaching call with me : www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/mentorshipcalls Additionally, here is a link to our ultimate cleaning business bundle which is not available on my website but I would believe that you and your husband would find quite useful : www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/ultimatebundle
Omggg you are a god sent. I’ve watched tons of videos and you are by far the best. You’re so thorough, you explained in details and don’t hold back on any information. I am just starting my cleaning business but I really want to focus more on doing commercial cleaning, janitorial office cleaning, medical offices etc. Can you do a video in details like this for commercial cleaning. Thank you
Thank you so much for the feedback. I tried to explain it is simply as possible. I understand that it’s a lot of information to learn. Congratulations on your business. I will absolutely make some more videos on commercial cleaning. Be sure to check out my cleaning business mentor website where you can find some online courses on commercial cleaning 😀
Nice to meet you. I see that you’re new to the channel. At the end of the day no matter what type of cleaning it is that we’re doing commercial post and instruction carpet the math that we’re trying to do is how much are we making for every hour that we’re there. As long as we can meet our hourly rate, then we will not go below our profit margin that we’re trying to hit.
Necesito escribir en español para empresas bien lo que siento después de ver este video,wow el mejor video en el Internet con respecto a este negocio,mami esto es lo tuyo,explicas muy bien,ingles es mi segunda lengua y lo entendí como si me estuvieras hablando en español 👏👏 gracias, estoy tratando de empezar en Canada😅.
muchas gracias por tu comentario. Aprecio tu apoyo. De hecho, voy a empezar a hacer lo mejor que puedo para publicar videos en español. Ojalá puedan entenderme jajaja
Eso te iva a decir de haver los videos en español,porque somos muchos que estamos tratando de empezar algo y yo entiendo el inglés pero hay muchos que no y es otra forma de que crescas otro canal y nos ayudes
Congratulations on taking the leap of faith. Just know with persistence and consistency. You can accomplish anything in life. I have no doubt that you will. 💜💪🏽
I do this for a living and I work in NY and Jersey this has helped me because I wasn't sure. Yes sometimes not doing walkthrough and I get there and am like I should have charged more. I would love to know your business better.
Awesome! Thank you! If you ever need any one one help I do coaching and have a number of digital products for new cleaning business owners : www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/
love this. honestly just keep going. This has my eyes more open now. i could use a better breakdown and presentation ! thank you for the video , keep them coming
You are most welcome. I go more in depth in my online courses : www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/selfpaced www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/coursementorship
I had a customer tell me they didn’t have dogs…got there…saw dog cages and hair..they said they didn’t have dogs because they removed them for home for cleaning… 🤦🏾♀️ was so irritated lol Also what I found, ppl will leave out bedrooms or bathrooms they don’t want cleaned. I still agree that I would like to know actual number as well.
If that happens, I would instantly have set an up charge. But moving forward, you can put something like that in your terms. I’m going to be making a video on just the questions should be asked when quoting as well as a video on terms and conditions and I will share a client intake template. I will put them out this week !
Hello Carolyn ,my name is Raelynn from southern Ohio , I watch your RUclips channnels and learning a lot . I’m now at starting my cleaning business. CN you tell me what you charge to clean kitchen cabinets down and wipe out the inside of the cabinets
So we charge our jobs by the hour it really depends on the state of the cabinets and whether they’re really filthy or not. But typically, I would guess at least one to two hours of time so whatever it is that you’re looking to get paid for or charged for your hourly rate.
So I’ve been cleaning on the side. But I would really like to have a set price like by the hr. When I have done it by the job I think I short myself. So ur video really has helped me. It would be great to maybe one day have my own cleaning business. We will see. Either way u helped me so much.
You should absolutely start your own cleaning business. Why not? You’re already out in the field and understand some of the operations. I’m going to share a link with you to one of my product bundles that is hugely discounted . It’s pretty much two of my best courses, calculator, all the internal forms you would need to start. www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/how-to-start-a-full-service-cleaning-company-with-everything-you-need
Omg thank you so much 🙏 this video ii is a blessing for me 🙏 I really appreciate it all the information, I just started my cleaning company and I really need this help, thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing. This was helpful. I do have a question.... when you say man hour- If you have 2 cleaners, Do you charge double hourly? So for 4 hrs with 2 people, it would actually be - at 50 an hour , that would be 400.00? I know of some companies that do this and I have thought about doing the same. What are your thoughts on this?
Of course you have to charge per hour per person otherwise how will you make money? For every person that is working you should be charging let’s say $50 a person. We are at $60 a person so per hour is 120 for two people or one person $60.
@carolynarellano Okay. That is what I just started to do. The first job was declined byt that is okay. I know i am heading in the right direction! Thanks for all your guidance and help love🙏♥️

i really loved this video Carolyn, thank you so much for the information. now i should ask as i have been doing cleaning and am now a registered business owner! i have started out doing flat rates and i is determined by how many bed and bath, and how far i am travelling to get this the specific clean. i say this because i live in a smaller tourist town, and travel out to different places in the surrounding areas to gain more traction and business, BUT i would like to change to hourly, how do i go about this with my clients who i do regular cleans for. after a while I'm sure they would get used to pricing with the consistency i provide per clean, but how do i go about changing this when i am already charging per home?

Hey Carolyn! This video was extremely helpful!! I am starting out my journey as a cleaning lady.. but I really want to grow this and QUICK! I am looking for some help when it comes to navigating tough conversations when clients want to haggle pricing, especially if they are family! Is there anything you say to clients to help them ease their budget concerns or pricing concerns? It can be so awkward and I want to be more confident!!
Hello. Congratulations on your business. I will say that nothing really happens quick. I don’t mean that to discourage you, but everything does take time we’re talking you know anywhere from three months to a year to really catch momentum. Here is a link to schedule a one on one call. I would love to be able to talk to you about pricing and anything else that you may be needing help with.www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/1-on-1-calls
Very informative video 🙌🏾 I am just starting the business and came across your videos… subscribed, You mentioned the checklist, where can I have it please ? Thank you 🙏🏾
I am confused, sorry. So you charge $60 per MAN hour. So if your minimum is 4 man hours, you are only sending 1 technician out and paying accordingly? So only when a home is 8 man hours do you send another technician with? What if the house is 5, 6, 7 man hours? Sorry if I am not understanding correctly. This is very helpful information
No worries at all. Sometimes I can word it confusing. You are correct. It is $60 a man hour with a four-man our minimum so we do not come out for less than $240 a job unless we apply a coupon or discount. Now I will let my technicians work solo up to about four or five hours. We usually work in teams of two because each team cleans 2 homes a day on average between 3 to 4 hours. So to answer your second part of your question for larger jobs that will take six man hours plus we will put two people in but again we mostly working teams it to anyway because we have a full schedule and most clients like to see two people in larger homes

Do you need a business license to clean office buildings?
Here's a thought. Work on your business not in your business. The key is time freedom.
Fantastic. As a youtube university student for years, this is great. About to start my single man custodian service and this was very helpful!
Thank you for the feedback !! Many blessings on your business journey. 🙏
I started my cleaning business and my first client give me $300 extra tips because I did a great job 😊😊cant wait yo find another customers soon
That is awesome! HUGE congratulations !!!!
@@carolynarellano thank you so much Thursday will be my 1st week.
great germs from the video I took a lot of notes and can't wait to implement all🙏🏾
Wow that’s amazing was it like a Doctors house or the rich houses and how much did you charge ? How many bathrooms and rooms ?
@@jcastro91235that’s something you shouldn’t be asking lol. It depends on your state and the frequency.
Those are the clients that everyone should get. But most people just want to lowball you or say your services are too expensive lol. They want everything for free and they pay cheap

You're welcome! I'm happy you found it useful.
I had a customer tell me they didn’t have dogs…got there…saw dog cages and hair..they said they didn’t have dogs because they removed them for home for cleaning… 🤦🏾♀️ was so irritated lol
Also what I found, ppl will leave out bedrooms or bathrooms they don’t want cleaned. I still agree that I would like to know actual number as well.
If that happens, I would instantly have set an up charge. But moving forward, you can put something like that in your terms. I’m going to be making a video on just the questions should be asked when quoting as well as a video on terms and conditions and I will share a client intake template. I will put them out this week !
Some clients put a limit of money they can spend like they can be I’ll I can spend is $150 so sometimes we can be at risk of loosing clients
Hello Carolyn ,my name is Raelynn from southern Ohio , I watch your RUclips channnels and learning a lot . I’m now at starting my cleaning business. CN you tell me what you charge to clean kitchen cabinets down and wipe out the inside of the cabinets
So we charge our jobs by the hour it really depends on the state of the cabinets and whether they’re really filthy or not. But typically, I would guess at least one to two hours of time so whatever it is that you’re looking to get paid for or charged for your hourly rate.
You did a Great Job Explaining!!! Thank You ❤❤❤

So I’ve been cleaning on the side. But I would really like to have a set price like by the hr. When I have done it by the job I think I short myself. So ur video really has helped me. It would be great to maybe one day have my own cleaning business. We will see. Either way u helped me so much.

Thank you so helpful was thinking of how much to charge
Glad it was helpful!
This was very informative and helpful. Thank you.
So glad!
Thank you for sharing. This was helpful. I do have a question.... when you say man hour- If you have 2 cleaners, Do you charge double hourly? So for 4 hrs with 2 people, it would actually be - at 50 an hour , that would be 400.00? I know of some companies that do this and I have thought about doing the same. What are your thoughts on this?
Of course you have to charge per hour per person otherwise how will you make money? For every person that is working you should be charging let’s say $50 a person. We are at $60 a person so per hour is 120 for two people or one person $60.
@carolynarellano Okay. That is what I just started to do. The first job was declined byt that is okay. I know i am heading in the right direction! Thanks for all your guidance and help love🙏♥️

Would you say this is the same strategy for pricing out to churches? Any elaborations appreciated. Thx!
Yes, I would ultimately, you have to guess how much time it would take you to clean and multiply by the hourly rate.

Question- I take double the time because I'm so meticulous. I spent 25 hours cleaning just walls. What am I doing wrong?
You are cleaning walls lol that is usually not included . And if it’s an extra we charge for it. I would say you need to refine your checklist . We are currently having a holiday flash sale for all of our internal forms where our Checklist , guidelines etc : www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/holidaydeals?coupon=HOLIDAYSALE50

Thanks a lot. Very very very helpful information.
You are most welcome
i really loved this video Carolyn, thank you so much for the information. now i should ask as i have been doing cleaning and am now a registered business owner! i have started out doing flat rates and i is determined by how many bed and bath, and how far i am travelling to get this the specific clean. i say this because i live in a smaller tourist town, and travel out to different places in the surrounding areas to gain more traction and business, BUT i would like to change to hourly, how do i go about this with my clients who i do regular cleans for. after a while I'm sure they would get used to pricing with the consistency i provide per clean, but how do i go about changing this when i am already charging per home?
Hello there. I completely understand the struggle. I want to provide you with a link so you can book a one on one call with me and we can discuss in detail. www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/1-on-1-calls

I do apartment cleanouts. (Turnkey) The company wants a price for everything I do. I'm not quitting sure how to price it.
Hey Axa ! I can do a video on hot to price these types of jobs later today. Hit the notifications button !
Hey Carolyn! This video was extremely helpful!! I am starting out my journey as a cleaning lady.. but I really want to grow this and QUICK! I am looking for some help when it comes to navigating tough conversations when clients want to haggle pricing, especially if they are family! Is there anything you say to clients to help them ease their budget concerns or pricing concerns? It can be so awkward and I want to be more confident!!
Hello. Congratulations on your business. I will say that nothing really happens quick. I don’t mean that to discourage you, but everything does take time we’re talking you know anywhere from three months to a year to really catch momentum. Here is a link to schedule a one on one call. I would love to be able to talk to you about pricing and anything else that you may be needing help with.www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/1-on-1-calls
Very informative video 🙌🏾
I am just starting the business and came across your videos… subscribed, You mentioned the checklist, where can I have it please ?
Thank you 🙏🏾
You are most welcome! Blessings to you and your business . Here you go : www.cleaningbusinessmentor.com/https-wwwcleaningbusinessmentor-free
Great video, very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your feedback .
I am confused, sorry. So you charge $60 per MAN hour. So if your minimum is 4 man hours, you are only sending 1 technician out and paying accordingly? So only when a home is 8 man hours do you send another technician with? What if the house is 5, 6, 7 man hours? Sorry if I am not understanding correctly. This is very helpful information
No worries at all. Sometimes I can word it confusing. You are correct. It is $60 a man hour with a four-man our minimum so we do not come out for less than $240 a job unless we apply a coupon or discount. Now I will let my technicians work solo up to about four or five hours. We usually work in teams of two because each team cleans 2 homes a day on average between 3 to 4 hours. So to answer your second part of your question for larger jobs that will take six man hours plus we will put two people in but again we mostly working teams it to anyway because we have a full schedule and most clients like to see two people in larger homes
Thank you for the video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
I learned several things here. Thanks
Glad to hear it!
OK, so this is the most important question. How much do you pay the workers that go out to do a cleaning on a three hour cleaning
If your rate is $50 an hour
My subs get paid $35 an hour which is 50%
This was a great video!
I’m glad you liked it !
