Answers:
charge at least 250.00 you deserve that much thats a lot of work!
I have my own cleaning business, I do residential, office, model homes, new construcion, and commercial like mini malls...I only buy my own cleaners for contruction..office and homes have to supply it. When I do buy a cleaner I use enviromentally safe cleaners that cost about 5.50 and make 4-6 bottles. So one bottle makes that many and would cost the same as in the store. Also I sign my homes up in the same cleaners (alot of cleaners cause cancer that is why I use safe ones) that helps pay for the cleaning products I get for the construction and helps me keep my prices competitve. For Detail cleaning depending on your area you live the cheapest runs 20.00 an hour to 30.00 an hour. I hope this has helped you.
Now is not the time to ask this question. You really need to figure that out ahead of time because what happens if you ask for more than the person you did the work for is willing to pay?
The fairest way to figure it out at this point would be to determine how much your time is worth per hour and multiply it by how much time it took you to do the work, then add on the cost of the cleaning supplies.
If you have a job, your rate of pay is a good place to start to determine what you're worth (though you might be over or under paid). Alternately, you could call some of the maid services and cleaning services in the area and ask what they charge per hour or per job to do something similar. You might not be able to get that much, but it is another starting point.
Then, it would be a good idea to keep a record of how much time it took so that you have an idea of how much to ask for the next time you do a similar job.
I moved out of a 3 bedroom townhouse and they charged $175.
You should be able to get more depending on your area's pricing.
