Yes. This isn't the first time. It's gone up every single time.

BertoChavez

We pay $80 for 4 hours

JOPE

$20/hr is reasonable, especially if you are in CA

You expect someone to clean your house gor what would basically earn them 40K/yr

How many people pay someone to clean their houses? That seems strange, but it’s

My wife cleaned houses for people, to help me buy my first business. She earned what worked out to be $40/hour

5/25/19 6:57pm

cougarfuzz
