Estimate Cleaning

You can clean the house yourself for free.


The dust and dirt that cover the floor, desks and other objects in the space where you live or work are not just unpleasant to look at, the conditions are also hazardous to the respiratory system, making it difficult to breathe. Hiring a professional cleaner is a way out. However, be prepared to pay for it. For example, cleaning a 1,300 square-foot single-story home with seven rooms can cost from $95 to $300, according to CostHelper.com.


Instructions


1. Determine the area that requires cleaning. Measure it in square feet. Although cleaners typically charge by the hour, knowing the square footage will help you estimate the time needed to clean your house or office.


2. Define what cleaning tasks need to be performed. Regular cleaning typically includes dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing sinks, floors, range hoods, and countertops. You may also require that your windows and walls be cleaned.


3. Estimate the time needed to clean your house or office. The cleaning time depends on the amount of cleaning needed, so if the space is very dirty and disorderly, it may take a significant amount of time to clean everything. Generally, you can calculate the time by estimating how long it would take you to do the cleaning yourself. People clean at more or less the same speed.


4. Multiply the hours needed to complete the cleaning by the hourly rate charged by the cleaning agency. The rates vary from $15 to $40 per hour.
