>They should kill fees all together.

Fees should be clear and upfront, But if a host is going to get a house cleaner after a guest leaves, it really does make sense for cleaning to be a separate lump sum fee.

If they only do one cleaning it makes sense though to charge once for it.

Usually businesses tries to hide their pricing mechanism and give opaque "sales".

y = k*x + m

Is nicer.
