Cleaning fees are owner related. They have nothing to do with the price of a night, but more so with the labor cost and the size/scope of the house which happens to hover around 50% of the cost of a night in many areas.

Labor costs are quite high to clean a home. I know it might not seem like it, but to turnover a house right costs a lot of money.

Usually costs me $300-350 (big house). I don't mark it up. Pay cleaners a living wage. Laundry, mopping, vacuuming takes a long time. If you aren't paying a good chunk for cleaning, I'd be concerned.

Not everyone does the duvets as an example. That's nasty.

And many don't pay their cleaners a fair wage.

So it sucks, but renters can't be trusted to clean the house. Nor completely launder everything.
