Hi i live in wales and have just started cleaning caravans for a small company inside and out!
Today was a bugger of a day and am wandering if im pricing right?
I clean external except roof with wfp and virasol, then inside i do it all! this includes oven, fridge, windows, all hard surfaces,
toilets,shower then carpet and upholstery clean. some harder/more work than others but all at £90.00.
The price the last firm did it at, i did £225.00 in 8.5 hours which gives me £26 per hour.
I do £60-£100 cleaning windows 3 days a week but like the doing something different.
It just needs to pay better. admittedly ive only been doing it for 2 weeks and am clueless as to how to quickly and effectively clean the inside .
 I live in caravan city and if i can make this work i can earn a good living from this.
 Does anyone have any experience with this and advice they can offer on A: getting quicker and B;pricing better.
The oven s the worst part,hate it, needs speeding up big time. the exterior takes me 1-1 1/2 hours.
The insides takes me ages,surely other company's are doing this much quicker than me and the wife?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
paul.

£90 sounds ridiculously cheap to me for an inside and out deep clean.
How long does it take the two of you to do one?

[Smudger]

Yep - way too cheap.

I clean at several holiday parks with static vans, woodland lodges and cabins I don't do insides but a kno a man who does and his service and prices I'm happy to chat about prices via email if you wish

Had a 3 berth dirty pig yesterday and it took 1 1/2 hours exterior and around 4 hours inside, then on the other side of the park i did another 1 that took around 2 hours in and out!
 They want to pay an average price of £90.00 rough n smooth.
I am new to this and am sure i can pick up speed but still would like more money for the work!

So that's £180 for 7.5 hours work per person? i.e. 15 hours @ £12 p/h is that correct?

[Mike Halliday]

He mentions earning £25/hr in the top post, but still way to low for a self employed person who has no other benefits like holiday pay, pension, sick pay etc

 biggest mistake people make with hourly rates is thinking that  it compares to a normal job, I earn £150/hr on some jobs but its not like I get that rate every hour, 8 hrs a day, 5 days a a week,  somedays I might only with 3hrs.
