How to Estimate the VALUE of Professional House Cleaners
The national average fixed cost price of house cleaning is $90 to $150 and the national average
hourly rate is $25 to $90 per team member. A single family home should cost $120 to $150 to clean. Here in Ventura County, CA, the cost of hiring a house cleaner will average around $13.25 per hour (as of November 2021). This rate varies depending on what you need cleaned, how long the house cleaner can expect to be at your home for each job and whether you or the service provides cleaning products.
Choosing a cleaning service is more about value than it is about price. At Ventura Coast Cleaning Services, we want to make you happy with the job as much as the price. Only then can you evaluate the value of the service. True happiness is to recognize the combination of price and service, which is value. If the mess around your home stresses you out, but you just don’t have the time or patience to pick up and clean —you should consider hiring a home cleaning service to help lighten the load.

affordable house cleaning (or commercial cleaning) services available in Ventura, Oxnard, Ojai, Faria Beach, Port Hueneme, Camarillo, and the surrounding Ventura County.

Individual Cleaning People Versus a Cleaning Service
Individual Cleaning People
An individual cleaner can provide a personal touch—you may get to know them, and they you. You can give them specific directions about how you’d like your house cleaned, and you may feel more at ease when they’re in your home around valuables or breakable items.
You should keep in mind that when hiring an individual to clean your home, you effectively become their employer and and take on the responsibility of using the appropriate tax forms, providing cleaning products (depending on your arrangement), and you need to make sure that they are covered by your home insurance policy, or umbrella liability policy.
Cleaning Services
A professional house cleaning company is a good choice if you’d like the work done quickly, as they usually send out more than one employee at once to clean your home. A company can often work with your personal schedule, whether you need a short-notice appointment or prefer a regular time and day. With a service there will always be back up employees, so it’s less likely a cleaning service will cancel, get sick, or run late.
Hiring Professional Cleaners
Recommendations from friends and family can be helpful way to find a reputable cleaning service or individual. But you need to dig deep and find out their expectations, standards. Do they continue to hire a cleaner that they are not completely happy with out of habit or inertia.
Online reviews can be helpful, but be cautious. Reviews may not explain your specific situation thoroughly. Someone expected to clean a five bedroom house in an hour may not have done a great job because they were too limited by time, but could do an excellent job cleaning a two bedroom apartment in the same amount of time. Also, keep in mind that there is such a thing as fake reviews -- positive and negative.
