Cleaning fees

I have a home that sleeps 10 and when I have 7 or more it takes a full 4 hours to clean it. But if I have 6 or less I can clean it in 3 hours. I have cleaning fee set at $75 .  Is there a way to set it at $100 if I have 7 or more but keep it at $75 for smaller groups?

@Kathy1171   No, there is no way to increase the cleaning fee based on the number of guests.  The only way that you could recapture the difference is if you charge a fee for guests over the number of 6.  

@Kathy1171   the"cleaning fee" need not have anything to do with the actual cost of cleaning. It's really just a short-stay supplement.

 

What you can do, though, is set an Extra Person Fee for groups over 6 (if you haven't already done so). This is a nightly charge, rather than a flat fee, but the right amount should compensate the additional cleaning for larger groups.
