🧼 How Much Should I Pay a Cleaner Per Hour?

A No‑Nonsense, Real‑World Guide From High Net Clean The Premium Cleaning Team People Trust

Let’s be honest: figuring out what to pay a cleaner can feel like trying to decode a secret menu. One person charges $20/hr, another charges $55/hr, and somehow they both claim to “clean everything.”

So what’s real?
What’s fair?
And what actually gets you a clean home not just a wiped counter?

As the team behind High Net Clean, where every job is delivered with premium‑level detail, we’ve seen the good, the bad, and the “oh wow, they really left that behind?”

This guide breaks it all down in a way that’s actually fun to read and even more helpful to use.

✅ So… What Do Cleaners Charge Per Hour?

Across the U.S., you’ll usually see:

• $20–$30/hr → solo cleaners
• $35–$55/hr → professional teams
• $60/hr+ → premium or specialized cleaning

In West Palm Beach (our home turf), the sweet spot for reliable, insured, high‑quality cleaning teams is $40–$55/hr.

But here’s the twist:
High Net Clean doesn’t charge hourly.
We charge per job  because you deserve results, not clock‑watching.

✅ What Actually Makes a Cleaner Worth the Price?

People think they’re paying for “time.”
Nope.
You’re paying for expertise, consistency, and peace of mind.

1. Skill Level

A trained cleaner can finish in 2 hours what an inexperienced cleaner struggles with in 5.
Speed isn’t magic  it’s mastery.

2. Tools & Products

Premium teams bring premium gear:

• HEPA vacuums
• Microfiber systems
• High‑grade disinfectants
• Eco‑safe options

Cheap cleaners show up with a half‑empty spray bottle and vibes.

3. Insurance & Professionalism

If someone charges $20/hr, they’re usually not insured.
If something breaks, you pay.
If someone gets hurt, you pay.
If someone disappears mid‑job… well, you get the idea.

4. Cleaning Type

• Standard cleaning → basic upkeep
• Deep cleaning → more detail
• Premium cleaning → consistent excellence every single visit

At High Net Clean, every job standard or deep is delivered with premium standards. That’s our signature.
