My company has hourly cleaners (hire in is $7/hr) and also a housekeeping manager (salary ranges from $315-$415, for 35 hrs a week). They created the housekeeping manager for a couple reasons, 1-payroll, 2-to remove the mess of the general manager having to keep tabs on the cleaning crew.

What in the world questions could one even ask in a cleaning interview? I always wondered that before I did a cleaner interview. I'm still baffled, glad I have a cleaning manager to hire/fire them for me

I run a 5 Plex, and our cleaner is paid $500 per week for seven days and in the off season...250 for 4 days.

"What in the world questions could one even ask in a cleaning interview? "

Cleaners have unattended access to the theatre. Background checks and honesty questions are critical. Reality checks are also important. Some potential cleaners apply thinking the job will only take an hour a day, or that regular mopping isn't required. Asking what the person expects the job will be like can weed out some duds.

I once wrote a whole article on "staying ahead of the mess." The cleanliness of a theatre is critical to continued attendence and getting top notch employees. Many people won't apply for work or return if a theatre is dirty or smelly.
