What do you pay for a housekeeper?

[trigal]

DH and I are considering getting someone to clean our house (top to bottom) once a month. I know prices like this vary in different locales, but I'd like to get a rough idea of what people pay.

Thanks!

Both ladies I've used basically charged $25/hr. My house is 3 br/1 ba and 1400 sf. They could do a deep clean in 6 hours ($150) or a so-so job in 3 hours ($75.)

$80 every other week. Our place is small, about 1000 asf. 2 bed/1 bath. It could be cheaper, but she has been cleaning for us for many years and I periodically give her a raise.

90 a week. She cleans for 5 hours. The house is about 5k square feet.

$90 every 3 weeks or $75 every 2. 2400sq foor house.

For deep cleaning, we pay more.

We pay our independent contractor $85 2x/month for our 1350 sq. ft. house (2 bed/1.5 bath). We hired her on recommendation from friends, and she is freaking awesome. I think that she spends the same amount of time here at each visit, so if she finishes cleaning early then she does extra stuff like pair H's orphan socks or clean out our utensil drawer! I am always excited to find the surprises that she leaves us.

ETA: low to medium COL
