It seems that I heard a figure that was approximately 14,000 -15,000 per year.  At any rate, it hasn't been helped by our dear law makers and executive branch - the mininum wage hasn't seen an increase in 9 years!\n\nOh, by the way, free trade is Good for the U.S.A. workers!  Yeah, right!

My advice is for you to read more of the business, so you can determine what you think you want and can given your present resources. The book "101 Best Businesses to Start" estimates that first year potential earnings for this business can be $40,000, while startup expenses can be $5,000 or even lower. Industry experts, however, recommend raising $50,000 for a startup capital in order to be able to invest in heavy duty cleaning equipment and have more resources to spend in marketing the business.\n\nYou can start by reading the article "Starting a Janitorial and Cleaning Service Business" at http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol95/janitorial.htm . The article contains information on startup strategies, operational considerations (prices, manpower, finding suppliers), and marketing the business. \n\nFrom the article, here are some tips to help market your business:\n\n1. The first step to marketing your business is deciding who your potential customers are and determining the types of services you could offer. \n\n2. The best way to market this business is through cold calling. Drive through the area to look for new houses. Then introduce yourself to the landlords ­ your potential clients ­ and request for an opportunity to bid on their cleaning contract. \n\n3. Draw up a better and more professional proposal by learning firsthand the needs of the potential customer, as well as the layout of the home (e.g. type of carpeting, etc.)\n\n4. Networking is another effective strategy to get ahead in the cleaning business. Tell your family and friends to refer you to their friends and others who are looking for someone to clean their homes.\n\n5. Word of mouth is another effective form of advertising a cleaning service. It can be generated through favorable feedback from your existing clients that will hopefully filter to other home owners in your area.\n\n6. If you decide to embark on advertising, you can try placing an ad in newspapers or trade journals in your area. \n\n7. You can also try direct mailing to potential customers, sending them information and brochures about your business.\n\nAs to what you can charge, I suggest you check what other home cleaning businesses are charging. You don't want to charge a fee too low you won't cover your expenses and time, while you don't want to overprice yourself out of the market. You can go to the yellow page directory, and start calling your competitors. Pretend you are a potential customer and ask for their rates - just make sure you don't sound too nosy or too technical that they would know that you are a competitor.\n\nFor more in-depth information about the business, we have compiled a list of books on the topic and you can either purchase the book or borrow them from your library. The list of recommended books on starting a cleaning business can be found at http://www.powerhomebiz.com/bookstore/homecleaning.htm\n\n- How to Start a Home-Based Housecleaning Business (Author: Melinda Morse)\n- Start and Run a Home Cleaning Business (Author: Susan Bewsey)\n- Commercial and Residential Cleaning Services: A Resource Guide to Developing and Maintaining Your Own Janitorial or Home Cleaning Business (Author: Walter Fenix)\n- Janitorial Service Businesses : Strategies for Promoting, Estimating, and Bidding Cleaning Services \n- The Janitorial Contractors Bible \n- Introduction to Janitorial Service Contracting : How to Succeed in Your Own Cleaning Business \n- Cleaning Up for a Living: Everything You Need to Know to Become a Successful Building Service Contractor \n- Introduction to Janitorial Service Contracting : How to Succeed in Your Own Cleaning Business

Depends whether she lives in an expensive area. If you hire a cleaning service, you'll get charged about 15 $ / hr and the cleaner gets $ 7. I hired a lady privately and paid her the $ 15 / hr directly. Each Christmas, I paid her 100$ extra because she did such a nice job.

They still make the backbone of a lot of the society. Yes, americans did do that work, but now they're too lazy to do it, or they don't want clueless teens doing the job. Who the hell will work as janitors, I see mainly hispanic people doing the job, not many others take th job. Why? Because they think they're too good for it and the salary is crap. You want your taxes to lower, well they won't, because the people who will want to work the jobs will want more moeny. You know what that means, money out of your damn pocket.
