how long to clean your house?

[makingithappen]

I think we are going to hire a monthly housekeeper if the price is right. I'm finding individuals that are asking $10-20/hr. Does 3-4 hrs seem reasonable for 2200 sqft 3 bdrm 2 bth? There's another bdrm on the second floor, but they wouldn't need to go upstairs at all.

How long does your person take?

Ours takes 4-5 hours for a much smaller space.

Ours takes about 3 hours, I think, but there are two people working. 2000 sq ft house. 4 bed, 2 bath

Our house is the same size and it takes 2 people about 4 hours (though they chat a lot).

2 people take about 4 hours in my 2000 sqft house with the same beds/baths.

I thought I kept seeing around 4 hours on past posts, but I didn't think about it being multiple people vs 1

2 people 3 hours in a similarly sized home.

Apparently it takes at least 4.5 years. :/

Do housekeepers really get paid by the hour? It seems like it would be more fair to pay them by the task. Do they only clean certain things?
