Where These Numbers Come from
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median wage of $11.76 an hour for maids and housekeeping cleaners in Mississippi (May 2024), with about 8,150 people in the job, versus $16.53 nationally. Janitors in Mississippi earn a median $13.27 an hour. We adjust for wage growth to 2026 and apply typical business markups (insurance, payroll taxes, supplies, travel and profit) to get a price range. Full method.
What Changes the Price
- Condition and clutter: a first visit or a home that has not been cleaned in months takes longer; many companies require a deep clean first.
- Frequency: weekly and every-two-weeks plans usually cost less per visit than one-time cleans, because the home stays in better shape.
- Pets, extras and access: pet hair, inside the oven or fridge, inside cabinets, interior windows and laundry are often add-ons.
- City vs rural: big metro areas in Mississippi tend to be at the top of the range; small towns nearer the bottom.
