How much does a cleaning lady make per hour?

Answer

If working for a company the answer is typically between $10 - $25 an hour this would be paid out of the company fee which would typically be between $25 and $45 an hour. The company would also cover the employees social security co-pays as well as all employment taxes.

If the cleaner is working for themselves the answer is typically between $15 - $25 an hour for a legitimate cleaner who is claiming their income and paying their taxes. One huge caveat to the person hiring this type of cleaner is to check that they are indeed licensed and insured with liability insurance as well as Workman's comp insurance, this is for your protection as well as their own.

Other factors that determine wage amounts would be the location, if the person/ company provides equipment and supplies, is the person paid by commission or by the hour, etc...

I used to pay $55 for my cleaning lady to clean my house. I gave her an extra pay at Christmas.
