Am I paying too much for cleaning?

[Andrea Cole]

We run 2 Airbnbs out of a duplex in High Point, NC. Each are about 1,200 sq ft. One side is a 2 Bedroom/1 Bath. The other side is a 3 Bedroom 1 Bath. Both have queen beds except the 3rd bedroom--that has 2 twin. Our cleaning crew does all the normal STR stuff--cleaning, restocking, laundry, replace towels, reset beds, and will do the occasional odd job like replacing batteries. For the 2 Bedroom they charge $90 and for the 3 Bedroom they charge $100.

In our area, most Airbnbs charge $40-$60 so our fee is significantly higher. Our competition could be losing money on cleaning, cleaning it themselves, OR we're just being overcharged by our crew.

I'm curious what everyone else pays their cleaners and what your thoughts are on what our crew charges us.
