How much would you pay?

[Guest Nick11]

Just doing a bit of market research

How much would you be willing to pay for a cleaner or someone to do the ironing?

Hi

 

I know the cleaning agencies charge $23 per hour, but if you supply all the cleaning materials I would charge $25 per hour.

 

Not really sure what I would charge for ironing but try $25.

 

Are you thinking about doing it ?

I agree with Tina, I think that is the going rate.

Thinking of setting own business up Tina -not sure if theres a market for it though.

Drop Deb & Stoo a PM, Deb was/is doing some cleaning for a company and should give you a idea on price, somebody I know had a mob in to do a day's cleaning and were charged $35 per hour

Hows work going?

Hi

 

I would say there is a market for it, try an advert in the messenger and see !

 

I would also try and put in the advert that you are a brit, I think it could be a bonus.

Hoovers are cheap enough and all the rest get from 'The Reject' shop.

 

Good luck

definately a market - my aunt does cleaning and has been turning work away. she does it on a couple of basis - one is that she works 'for herself' if you like with the client paying her. The other work she has is through a lady who runs a cleaning business, cleans herself and has people who kind of work for her - like my aunt - where she sets the rates and then the client pays the cleaner and the cleaner pays so much of their hourly rate to this lady.

 

Does that make any sense or have I waffled too much?

 

She gets $20-25 per hour and supplies most of her own materials.

Cleaning and ironing???? I thought we were starting up a dirty chat line! Woss goin' on?

[Guest swampo]

I am a teacher by trade but don't want to do teaching when we get over there in October. This is something I might consider - my OH calls me Monica (from Friends) so this cleaning lark might be just up my street.

 

How easy is it to set up your own cleaning business over there. Who/what do I need to register with???

A lot of professional Aussies have cleaners.

 

Best of luck

Hi

 

These are always looking for people to work for them. I understand they pay about $25 an hour and you can join up with a friend to work if you want. They have loads of work east and west of the city

No wonder you can't get into the country, learn the lingo for God's sake man it's a vacuum not a hoover:nah:,

What are you doing sitting in front of the computer at this time of the day Guzzler? Shouldn't you be cooking dinner for your hard working wife?

No not got the voice for it. Libby would be great at it though - superb sexy voice - I couldn't do it without laughing!

[The Monaghans]

You might have a point - I don't think my nasal Brummy accent will do much for the Aussies either!!

[Guest Guzzler&Sas]

now i know why there has been no ironing done today ..... tut, tut! Only joking, he is doing a great job on the cooking front - early days guys, he is not doing too badly!

 

Nick - there are a few places who iron by the basket full - I looked into this and there are two places listed in the yellow pages - I did some ironing for a friend and charged her about $15 per hour and she bite my hand off .... I think the other places where charging about $20.

 

Good luck with it - let us know how you go.

 

Cheers

I'd say $25, go for it girl, give me a shout if you need any help with the marketing side of it....I am sure we can come up with an appropriate business name.

 

Take care
