Key takeaways
  • A regular clean starts at $160 per visit, a deep clean at $200 and a move-out clean at $190.
  • Home size and condition move the price more than anything else, which is why every service is quoted as a range.
  • Recurring plans cut the regular-clean price by 15% weekly, 12% bi-weekly or 10% monthly.
  • Across 1,261 jobs we completed in 2026, the median job total was $546, because most bookings are deep, move or specialty cleans on 2–4 bedroom homes.
  • Ask for a confirmed price before booking and check what is included, such as supplies, inside appliances and a re-clean guarantee.

In 2026 a professional house cleaning in the USA starts at about $160 for a regular visit and $200 for a deep clean. Move-out cleans start at $190, and specialty work such as post-construction or hoarder cleanup starts higher. What you end up paying depends on four things: the type of clean, the size of the home, its condition, and how often you book.

This guide sets out our published starting prices for every common service, the ranges by home size, and what customers actually paid across the 1,261 jobs we completed between January and October 2026. Use it to sanity-check a quote before you book.

Deep, move-out and move-in prices by home size

Size is the biggest single driver of price. More bedrooms usually means more bathrooms, more floor and more time. These are our published ranges for the three services people compare most often.

Home sizeDeep cleanMove-outMove-in
Studio$200–$220$190–$260$180–$250
1 bedroom$200–$260$210–$320$200–$300
2 bedrooms$220–$330$260–$380$240–$360
3 bedrooms$280–$420$320–$480$300–$450
4 bedrooms$350–$550$400–$600$380–$580
5 bedrooms$450–$700$500–$750$480–$720

Large homes over 3,000 sq ft run $500–$900+ for a deep clean. Adding the inside of the oven ($25–$60) or fridge ($20–$50) to a deep clean is the most common reason a total lands above the base range.

What customers actually paid in 2026

Published ranges are a starting point. Final totals include add-ons, extra bathrooms, heavier condition and combined services. Across the 1,261 jobs in our own job records for January–October 2026, the median job total was $546. By home size, the medians were:

Home sizeJobsMedian totalTypical range
Studio239$265$190–$370
1 bedroom195$367$271–$582
2 bedrooms197$492$398–$632
3 bedrooms340$605$493–$771
4 bedrooms204$740$592–$918
5+ bedrooms74$1,016$790–$1,241

These figures sit above starting prices because most of these bookings were one-time deep, move or specialty cleans, often with appliances or carpets added. Regular cleans were the lowest-cost bookings, with a median of $308, and a small maintained home on a recurring plan can come in close to the $160 starting price.

How recurring plans lower the price

A home cleaned on a schedule never builds up heavy grime, so each visit takes less time. Our regular-clean plans pass that on:

  • Weekly: 15% off each visit. Best for families, pets and busy households.
  • Bi-weekly: 12% off. The most practical balance of cost and upkeep for most homes.
  • Monthly: 10% off. Keeps a tidy home on track between your own cleaning.

If the home has not been professionally cleaned in a few months, book a deep clean first, then move to a recurring regular clean. Paying deep-clean prices on every visit is the most common way people overspend.

What moves a quote up or down

Two homes of the same size can be quoted differently. These are the factors that matter:

  • Condition: built-up grease, soap scum or pet hair adds time. A neglected two-bedroom can cost more than a tidy three-bedroom.
  • Bathrooms and kitchen: wet rooms take the longest per square foot.
  • Add-ons: inside appliances, interior windows, carpets and upholstery are priced separately.
  • Clutter: cleaners clean surfaces. Clearing counters and floors beforehand keeps the visit on scope.
  • Timing: same-day and urgent bookings include a priority-dispatch minimum.
  • Access: parking fees or permits, where needed, are paid by the customer.

Location matters too, but less than most people expect when a company publishes one price list. Differences between areas come mostly from the size and type of homes booked there.

How to compare quotes fairly

A low headline price is not useful if the scope is vague. Before you book with anyone, check:

  1. Is the price confirmed before booking, or is it an hourly rate times an estimate?
  2. Which tasks are included, and which are add-ons?
  3. Are supplies and equipment included?
  4. Are the cleaners identity-verified, background-checked and insured?
  5. What happens if something is missed? We offer a 36-hour re-clean guarantee: report an issue within 36 hours and we come back free.
  6. What are the cancellation terms? Ours are free with 24 hours' notice and a 30% fee inside 24 hours.
