Are they leaving for jobs that are $17 an hour, when you pay $10?

If there is a better job out there with a higher pay rate, you aren’t going to win the battle. You have to change your perspective on how you experience employees transitioning into larger roles. Your cleaning company can become an incubator for helping people get better jobs down the line. If you are helping them prepare for better paying jobs with more responsibility, you can use this to inflow new employees. Your new employees don’t necessarily want to be a cleaner for the next ten years, but they do want a job that can be a stepping stone for better opportunity. Be that job.

Are they leaving for jobs that are paying the same?

If your employees are leaving for jobs with the same pay and benefits as yours, then you know you have a problem. Less than 22% of employees leave a job because they aren’t getting paid enough, while 80% leave because they are unhappy with a supervisor. If your employees aren’t happy with their day to day work tasks because of higher management, you need to recreate the foundation you manage on. If the employees aren’t happy in general, you are hiring the wrong people.
