I think $20 is pretty standard, at least around here. We previously had a housecleaner who charged $20 and our current one does the same or $15 for friends. But as I said before, the only reason we can afford one is we barter through our family business :)

I keep thinking about the issue with the gloves. I'm so grossed out that we've been using sinks, tables, counters, etc. that were cleaned by someone wearing gloves that were used to clean my toilets and other people's toilets. Am I being irrational or should I wipe down everything with lysol wipes?

My mom cleaned houses when I was little. She told me she made $5/hour and had to bring all her own supplies plus a mop, bucket, and vacuum. She said it was always worth it except one house where the kids purposely made huge messes for her to clean up and the parents were ok with it

I'd probably be busting out the lysol wipes, Liz. lol I don't want you to have to go clean, but just the counters and fixtures real fast, kwim?
I think $20/hr is probably pretty standard. MIL cleans houses and businesses and she makes a crapton of money, tbh. lol BUT it's hard work, kwim? |

I caved and wiped down all the faucets, counters, stove knobs, oven handle, counters, kitchen appliances, doorknobs, and kitchen table. I feel relief

Ugh, I'd be totally grossed out about the gloves, too. That's just sick.
I have to say, I'm pretty jealous of the $20/hr. I used to scrub the seriously nasty bathrooms at an RV park for $7/hr.
