It covers employees who clean private homes and hotel rooms alike, so the numbers below describe the whole classification, not house cleaning alone.<\/p>\n<p>The national mean wage is $17.83 an hour, $37,080 a year. The median, where half the classification earns more and half earns less, runs a bit lower: $17.07 an hour, $35,510 a year. That gap means higher earners pull the mean above the median. The classification counts an estimated 860,670 workers nationally (BLS OEWS, May 2025).<\/p>\n<h2>What is the full pay range for this classification?<\/h2>\n<p>A single average skips most of the story.
