Move-Out Cleaner pricing FAQ
Should a move-out cleaner guarantee a deposit return?
No. You can describe the cleaning scope, but a landlord’s deposit decision depends on issues beyond cleaning and should not be guaranteed.
How do I handle an unexpectedly dirty home?
Document the condition, refer to your exclusions, and request approval before adding time or services beyond the agreed scope.
Should a move-out cleaner publish an hourly rate?
An hourly figure can be useful internally, but the customer-facing format should match the work. Use flat project estimates with a detailed scope, plus an hourly contingency for excessive buildup or undisclosed work and make travel, materials, revisions, or add-ons clear before the job begins.
How do I use this move-out cleaner pricing calculator?
Start with the suggested inputs, replace them with your own monthly costs, income goal, and realistic billable hours, then use the result as a planning floor—not a guaranteed market price.
