Re: Cleaning company!
Shoot, go ahead and sign me & my hubby up! What's a little money to give up when we quit our jobs. Talk about a stress free work environment! :clap_1:
The only stipulation we have is that we'll need to work next door to each other!!

Re: Cleaning company!
Hi, I clean condos in destin for resort quest and i get 25.00 for a 1 bedroom 1 bath so that does seem a little high but maybe im just under paid lol. I worked 2 summers in panama and got 80.00 for a 3 bed room 3 bath but after they bumped the pay down to 65.00 i quit for the job in destin. Anyone interested in having your condo cleaned i might be interested depending on the pay.

Re: Cleaning company!
I'm a local and have used 2 cleaning services over the 5+ years I've been here. $200+ dollars that you paid for a 3 BR, 1900sq.ft. home sounds crazy to me, too! I have a 3 BR, 1600+sq.ft. home in Point Washington, two active and crazy boys who are home a lot and a dog (read: lots of mess!) The first service I used (Kasia) came 2x a month and charged $75 each visit. They were really good and thorough and my mom still uses them - they even cleaned my ceiling fans and swept my large wrap around porches. They got too busy in the high season and couldn't commit to coming at a certain time (and I hated to pack the kids up on short notice and vacate for the time they were there) so I changed companies. The second company I used was Bab's cleaning who came once a week and charged me $50 each visit. Again, they were really really good but my discretionary income has temporarily tightened so I had to stop the service much to my dismay.
I will be calling them (Bab's Cleaning) again, though, once I am able to! PM me if you would like either of their numbers.

Re: Cleaning company!
You have very good points in these discussions, first let me say I have cleaned condo/houses on the beach for 8 years and you would not beleive some on the things these housekeepers have to clean. Crap (literally) on the floors, tables, counters, maggots on the stove where things have sit there for weeks, this was mostly found when I worked with a local rental company because they don't want to send no one in to clean it until a couple hours before someone is coming in. Where people have thrown up on the beds, couches from getting drunk you would have to haul out so many beer and whiskey bottles. That is the main reason I work for my self cleaning now. When my home owner calls and tells me the guest left a day early or they leave regular time I go that same day or no later than the next to make sure there are no food or messes left that will create greater messes left unseen about. I don't enjoy cleaning them kind of messes, but in this business you have to take the good with the bad. I enjoy my job very much I take alot of pride in my job. I drive 175 miles aday or more depending on where my houses are. 175 is just from my house to Seagrove. I work off season about 3 days a week and peak 6 & 7 days a week. My point I am making is if you have a good housekeeper keep them and treat them good because most of us that clean drive out of town and you might have 2 good houses out of 5 that is not what we call a wreck or trashed. In peak season we don't have time to be taken a break every 5 minutes if you gonna do 2 or 3 large houses a day and do a good job you don't have time to be playing you got to work and work hard. So I appricate the ones that understand the price we charge and make is very well deserved. I

Re: Cleaning company!
If I were in the cleaning business, I would consider charging less for a regular, once a week visit to a primary residence than I would for a rental home of the same size. I've seen what people do in rental homes. In rentals units, I've seen vomit, poop, shrimp peelings left on the table, red wine stains on the ceiling, etc. A 1900sf rental home probably boasts of sleeping 12 people, which they probably get on occasion. The same size primary home probably rarely sleeps as many as 5 people. Knowing the amount of time it takes to thoroughly clean my own house, I would say that $225 might be a good price to get someone to drive to your house, provide cleaning supplies and equipment, and clean up your trash. Cleaning your own mess is one thing, but cleaning another's isn't nearly as nice.
