Prices for everything are much higher here, including housecleaning.
The average price per square foot of single-family housing in Ann Arbor
is $180. How does that compare with your area?

The deal is, she cleans $80 worth. Kitchen, bath, cleaning the hardwood
floors, vacuuming the area rugs, and dusting. In that order of priority.
No overtime, except by prior arrangement.
