We Need a House Cleaner!!!

We Need a House Cleaner!!!

To Whom It May Concern:

I was wondering if I could get a ball-park estimate on cleaning our house.

It’s a three bedroom, two bathroom.

We have pets, and it’s all guys living in the house, so “the little cleaning things” don’t get done regularly enough.

We would be looking for either weekly or bi-weekly depending on the rate to start the middle of March.

We would expect the following items be done each time:
-Living Room has Hardwood Floors, and Kitchen is Vinyl ‒ they would both need to be swept and mopped
-Hallway and the three bedrooms are all carpeted and would need to be vacuumed and wet-cleaned (we have the wet-cleaner and it only takes about 15 minutes to do all the carpet, but we have pets, so this is a must)
-The entire house would need to be dusted ‒ probably a thorough dusting once a month, and a light-dusting on the other visit(s)
-Both bathrooms would need to be cleaned and disinfected
-Once a month we would like the stove/refridge cleaned thoroughly
-Once a month we would like the windows cleaned
-Once a month we would like the cabinets in the kitchen and living room emptied out and scrubbed
-Once a month we would like the ceiling fans, tops of the doors, and other difficult areas to dust dusted
-Just a general “straightening out” of the entire house would be nice as you work

Being the house hasn’t had a very thorough cleaning in the two years we have lived here, so I can understand charging additional for the first cleaning so you can get everything in order and then just have to do maintenance work.

A couple of questions for you:

Do you provide your own cleaning supplies? (Not big deal if you don’t, just want to know)

Would Monday/Tuesday work into your schedule well because someone is always home on those days?

The house is in the UNM Area ‒ near the corner of Coal & Yale, will that be within the area that you clean?

If you need to visually inspect the house for an estimate, would you have any time available this coming week in order to do a once over? (I will be home from work all week.)

Of course, we will ask for references one we find out your price and decide whom to go with for our cleaning needs.

If you need any more information about the house to provide an estimate, please just let me know what you need.

Thank you,
Andrew Harper
