Been using my Hoover commercial vac for years on these house jobs, but with supply costs up, I'm bumping my rate from $35 to $45 per hour starting next month. Customers are gonna hate it, but I can't keep eating the inflation on cleaners and bags. Sucks to have to do this after building a solid client base.

i started quoting flat rates on cleans last year instead of hourly, like $150 for a standard 3br house, and it cut the whining way down since they know the total upfront.

bump it to $50/hr if you're in a decent market, folks here eat it up without flinchin. throw in a quick email explainin the supply hikes and most will stick around, just lost one client over it but gained two at the new rate.
