Minnesota runs the longest indoor season of any state we serve, and that is what shapes cleaning here: six months of sealed houses, forced-air heat and salt at the door, followed by a short, intense pollen and lake summer. Rates are national and flat, $120-$430 for a standard visit by size, more for deep and move-out work. What follows is the rate card, the Minnesota factors that decide where you sit inside it, and the 21-day deposit rule that is among the tightest in the country.
House cleaning prices in Minnesota in 2026
These are our published flat rates per visit. Hello Cleaners prices nationally rather than by state or city, so the table below is what a Minnesota household pays wherever they live, and the spread inside each cell reflects bathrooms, condition and access rather than ZIP code.
| Home size | Standard clean | Deep clean | Move-out clean |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $120-$170 | $160-$220 | $190-$260 |
| 1 bedroom | $140-$200 | $180-$260 | $210-$320 |
| 2 bedrooms | $170-$255 | $220-$330 | $260-$380 |
| 3 bedrooms | $220-$330 | $280-$420 | $320-$480 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $275-$430 | $350-$550 | $400-$600 |
Recurring visits reduce the per-visit price: weekly and bi-weekly schedules are discounted against the one-off rate because the home never returns to a full-scrub state between visits. Add-ons such as inside-oven, inside-fridge and interior windows are priced separately and are the most common reason a first quote sits above what someone expected.
Six months indoors: the Minnesota cleaning calendar
A Twin Cities home is closed up from October to April. Forced-air heating recirculates dust and dander the whole time, vents and returns load up, and by March the surfaces that never see daylight are carrying a season of it. Outside the door, road salt and sand run from the first freeze to the last thaw and get tracked across entryways, mudrooms and stair treads daily. Then the season flips: ice-out brings a fast, heavy tree pollen run in May, and lake-country humidity through July and August raises mildew in basements and three-season porches. The rhythm that works here is a full deep clean in late April once the salt stops, vent and duct attention at the same time, and bi-weekly maintenance with mudroom focus through the freeze.
How the big Minnesota markets compare
We price nationally, so a Bloomington quote and a Duluth quote match for the same home. What varies across Minnesota is housing type, drive distance and how long winter lasts.
| Market | What is different about the work |
|---|---|
| Minneapolis and Saint Paul | Dense mix of older city homes, walk-up apartments and inner-ring suburbs; the widest slot availability and most of our recurring bi-weekly work. |
| Western suburbs (Hennepin, Plymouth, Minnetonka) | Larger newer homes with multiple bathrooms and finished lower levels; the size of the house, not its condition, sets the job length. |
| Rochester and the southeast | Strong medical-sector rental and relocation turnover, so proportionally more move-in and move-out cleans than steady maintenance visits. |
What affects your price in Minnesota
The band is national. These are the Minnesota specifics that decide where inside it a quote lands.
- Mudrooms and entryways carrying salt and sand for six months of the year.
- Forced-air vents, cold-air returns and filter housings, which load heavily over a sealed winter.
- Finished lower levels, near-universal in suburban Twin Cities builds.
- Three-season porches and lake cabins, which need a full open-up clean each spring.
- Bathroom count, which drives more of the price than bedroom count does.
Minimum wage and what it does to Minnesota cleaning rates
Minnesota's minimum wage is roughly $11.41 an hour statewide after indexing, with Minneapolis and Saint Paul both operating higher local ordinances. That city-versus-state split is unusual and it shows up in quotes: independent cleaners working inside Minneapolis price above ones working the outer suburbs, even though the drive between them is twenty minutes. Our flat national rate sidesteps that entirely. Use the local floor as a sanity check instead: a Twin Cities quote well under the city ordinance rate per hour per cleaner is not an insured, payroll-based team.
Deposits and move-out cleaning in Minnesota
A Minnesota landlord must return the deposit, with simple non-compounded interest of one percent a year, within three weeks of the tenancy ending and receiving your forwarding address, or provide a written statement of any withholding in the same three weeks. That deadline is set by Minnesota Statutes 504B.178, and it is worth knowing before you decide how much to spend on a move-out clean: a documented professional clean with dated photographs is the cheapest available answer to an itemized deduction. Our room-by-room move-out cleaning checklist covers what an inspector actually opens.
