Expensive cleaners!! is there such a thing?

[Priyo Lahiri]

Is there something like that? I know the cleaners and the handyman are the pillars of your success

We have found a cleaning company that is pretty established and we hired them to do the deep cleaning of our new to us cabin. they did a phenomenal job and from various review online it looks like they are pretty awesome team. They charged us pretty well for doing the deep clean, but they did go over and beyond like wiping down walls and stuff. its about 1500 sq ft property

Anyway, their quote for regular cleaning and getting the cabin ready for the next guest seems high. Now, I dont know what high is, but from various airbnb and VRBO listing in the area looks like people charge 100-125 per cleaning (some are way up to 180 range) and if i am hiring this company I would be in the 180 range too if i have to recuperate the 15% tax i need to pay on it to the state, county etc)

My options are to eat some of that cost when starting out and keep the cleaning cost low 

Keep at low and build the rest in the nightly rate (which creates the problem of a brand new property having higher nightly rate)

suck it up and deal with it.

what would you do? I can look for other cleaners in the area, but I have seen their work and kinda like it

You didn't say how big the house is @Priyo Lahiri, but $180 doesn't seem terrible to me.

I pay $300 for our 2700sqft 4/3 lake house. One reason it is is an hour from town one way.

If they do a great job, show up and keep on keepin' on, they are worth every penny.
