Hi @Bradley-and-Vanessa0
If you do want to reach other Houston Hosts, You might try posting this question in the current (old) Airbnb group for Houston area -- I think there is one, you can look on here:

I think actually though, you are likely to find that the jist of your question is not actually specific to Houston. You are running into the same issue that many hosts have, which is that they need to be charging a high enough rate for their listing, that they can either pay a cleaning service to clean after the guest's stay, or feel adequately compensated for their own time spent cleaning.
Just like you want to be compensated fairly for work you do, so do people who do housecleaning work, and cleaning services are not going to charge you less to clean a large house, just because your guests didn't stay very long. ALl the same cleaning has to be done. For a cleaning company to charge only $100-120 for cleaning a house that accomodates 6, seems quite reasonable. However, it usually costs less to hire an individual housecleaner (eg a self-employed person) as opposed to a cleaning company, so if you can find an individual working alone that may cost less. But that person may not be available every time you have a guest leave -- in which case the larger cleaning company is better suited.
I looked at your listing and saw that you are not even charging guests a cleaning fee. I suggest adding a cleaning fee of anywhere from $40 to $100 per reservation. THis will help pay for the cleaning that needs to be done. As well, you may not want to take 1 day reservations, since you are right, that is a heck of a lot of work for a total of only $155 -- you dont' want your guests to be paying you only for cleaning, when you have other costs to cover, like mortgage and utilites, property tax, home insurance etc -- your rates need to be high enough to cover all of these things. Consider having a 2 or 3 day minimum stay.
Lastly, I noticed on your house rules you say "Please treat the home the same as you would like yours to be treated". This is actually not a good house rule to have, because I am sure (for instance) that you would not like it if people who are slobs in their own home, and who damage their own furniture on a regular basis, treated your home the way they do theirs. I suggest you be specific about how you want your home to be treated, rather than making an assumption that everyone treats their home the way you treat yours. Clear communication is very helpful in setting expectations and avoiding problems with guests.
