Yes, Channel District (33602), South Tampa (33611), Harbour Island (33602), Ybor City (33605), and St. Pete beaches drive Airbnb volume. Quote per-turnover ($85-$350 for studio, $165-$600 for 1-bed, $325-$950 for 2-bed) including linen service, restocking, guest report photos. Build relationships with 5-10 property managers. Hurricane evacuation drives surge cleaning before and after seasonal evacuations.
Yes, high-margin insurance-backed specialty. Hurricane Helene + Milton (2024) and Idalia (2023) drove a major mould remediation cycle. Tampa year-round humidity (75-90% summer) compounds the problem. Quote IICRC S520 protocol work (HEPA vacuum, anti-microbial treatment, structural drying, content restoration) at $3-$10/sqft. Florida DBPR Mold Assessor and Mold Remediator licences required.
Yes, recurring volume. Channel District (33602), Harbour Island (33602), Bayshore (33606), Westshore (33609), Avila (33613) high-rise condo daily cleaning drives commercial revenue. Quote daily common-area cleaning ($1,000-$4,500 per visit per building) and annual contracts at 10-15% discount. Building managers drive volume; lock in 12-month contracts.
Hourly rates are $25 to $55 in the US, £15-35 in the UK, A$30-60 in Australia, R80-250 in South Africa, and C$25-55 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.
