Start from what you need to earn
A common mistake is copying a competitor's price without knowing whether it covers your costs. Start with the income you want, then add overheads, travel time and a tax buffer.
Hourly vs per-job pricing
Hourly pricing is simple and fair for regular cleans. Per-job pricing works well for end-of-tenancy and deep cleans where customers want a fixed figure. Many businesses use both.
Don't forget travel
Time between jobs is working time you aren't paid for. Fuel or fares add up. Build both into your price or set a minimum visit length.
Review regularly
Check your prices every few months, and when your costs change. Give existing customers notice of increases.
