"Not that bad" It's a phrase customer’s use when describing their home. "Come clean my space. It's not that bad." And they want the house cleaner to give them a price quote over the phone. 

Want some cleaning advice? Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru says if you say those words; "My house is not that bad" your price just went up. 

Today on Ask a House Cleaner we learn that if you want a fair price, you have the let the housekeeper or maid service see your house. 

They don't want to bait and switch, but they have to clean the basics at every house. They have a series of routine tasks and pretending your home isn't that dirty is a house cleaner pet peeve.
