Yes. Nelspruit humidity drives bathroom and grout mould growth. Quote anti-mould bathroom deep-clean (R750-R2,200 per bathroom) and grout sealing (R350-R850 per bathroom) as upsell on every residential clean. Recurring quarterly demand.
Hourly rates are R80 to R175 in the US, £15-35 in the UK, AR96-60 in Australia, R80-250 in South Africa, and CR80-55 in Canada. Most experienced cleaners prefer fixed-price by home size because hourly invites time-padding disputes.
By the job for standard, deep, or end-of-tenancy cleans where the scope is known. By the hour only for ad-hoc tidying where the customer wants to direct work in real-time. Fixed-price protects both sides.
Most cleaners bring their own basic supplies (vacuum, mop, microfibre, eco-friendly products). Some hourly bookings use customer supplies. Always confirm on the quote so there is no on-arrival argument.
Two or three for regular weekly bookings. Pricing is fairly consistent in any one area. The bigger variables are insurance, vetting, and whether the same cleaner attends every visit (better) or a rotating team (cheaper but variable).
Yes. Public liability insurance covers breakages and damage; workers comp covers injury on your property. Hire only insured cleaners; the cost of an uninsured cleaner damaging a hardwood floor or a flat-screen TV wipes out years of savings.
