I have had one since November. She charged me 300.00 for a deep clean 3 bedroom ranch. All I asked for was everything dusted or wiped down and all of the floors vacuumed and washed. No bathrooms or nothing else. Two weeks later 150.00 for floors and dusting only but she uses a feather duster instead of wiping everything down. Am I asking too much to have everything moved and wiped down and floors vacuumed under beds and all and then only kitchen dining room and hall way washed. I feel she is high.

My housekeeper charges $20/hr.  She takes 5 hours to clean my apartment.  I supply the cleaning supplies.  She does a fine job!

I pay $150 every other week, 2 people, 3BR, 2-1/2 baths.  Not much to do but vacuum, wet mop baths and clean DH bathroom.  I keep mine clean.  I squeegie down shower after use each day.  Bathtub has not been used in 2-3 years by grandchildren.  I have  self-cleaning toilets but I detail the two used twice per week.  One bathroom is only used by housekeeper and in-season gardener.  I clean my kitchen, change the linens and wash them.  No clothes to fold except occasionally towels in the dryer she might fold.  She and her husband 2 hours.

@Junker2327 One of my big things is that items and surfaces be wiped down.  I don't think feather dusters or even those swiffer things do much but move dust around.
