Size Matters (In Cleaning Too): Why We Price by the Square Foot

Let’s be honest — cleaning pricing can feel like a mystery novel. Hourly rates that stretch longer than expected. Per-room pricing that assumes every room is the same size and shape. “Flat fees” that suddenly aren’t so flat when you mention the bonus room or spiral staircase.
At AYRC, we’ve cut the fluff. We charge by the square foot — and here’s why that’s better for you and for us.
Why It Works for You (The Smart, Busy Property Owner You Are)
You Get What You Pay For — Literally
No vague estimates. No clock-watching. We price based on actual space — not guesswork or generic packages. Whether you’re managing a chic studio or a sprawling 5-bedroom, your rate reflects the real workload.
Easier to Budget, Easier to Scale
You’re not just booking one clean. You’re building a system. Our pricing makes it easy to estimate monthly costs, track expenses, and scale up when you take on more properties — without surprise invoices.
It's Fair Across the Board
A “one-room” price doesn’t work when one room is a guest bedroom and the next is a double-height loft with four rugs and a coffee bar. Square footage tells the truth. That means you’re not overpaying for small jobs — and we’re not under-quoting large ones.
No Paying Extra for Efficiency
Our teams are fast because they’re good — not because they’re rushing. With hourly pricing, you might feel short-changed if the cleaning is quick. With square foot pricing, you pay for the result, not the runtime.
No “Extras” Games
We don’t upcharge for every little add-on. Our rate includes the care your property actually needs — not just a checklist of basics. That includes detailed resets, staging, and thoughtful touches that make a difference to your guests.
Why It Works for Us (and Makes Your Service Better)
We Can Staff Smarter
Knowing the square footage means we can send the right-sized team, bring the right gear, and get the job done efficiently — no scrambling, no cutting corners.
It Keeps Our Standards High
Our focus is quality, not racing the clock. We take the time we need to get it right — because your reviews and your reputation matter to us.
It Grows with You — and With Us
The more properties you add, the more streamlined your systems need to be. Square foot pricing makes that possible. We apply the same fair logic across the board, so nothing gets lost in translation as we grow.
The TL; DR?
We price based on the space, not the stopwatch. That means better cleans, better communication, and zero confusion. Simple, fair, and designed to support both your success and ours.
If you’re looking for a cleaning partner who’s as consistent as your best guest — we’re ready at your request.
