Hi BP community!

Would like to get a prospective on how much your cleaning service charges after each guest stay. I am getting rates at $200 for a 4br/2ba 1300 sq ft detached house (maximum 8 guests). 

Thanks for the response.

I don't charge tenants any sort of cleaning deposit or cleaning fee.  I figure if we did, they would make sure we earn it.  Most of them leave the places reasonable clean, or not too messy.

The lady that cleans my STRs used to do it for free.  Now she takes a portion of the rent, whenever and however much she sees fit.

But, she also sleeps with me.
