Hiring a house cleaner typically costs between $80 and $200 per visit for a standard home. Prices vary based on your home's size, how often you want service, and where you live. This guide breaks down what you can expect to pay and what drives the cost.
| Service | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $60–$100 |
| 2 bedroom, 1 bath | $80–$130 |
| 3 bedroom, 2 bath | $100–$180 |
| 4 bedroom, 3 bath | $140–$230 |
| 5+ bedroom home | $200–$350+ |
Prices shown are for a standard cleaning. Deep cleaning (first visit, move-in/move-out) typically runs 1.5–2× standard rates.
Square footage is the biggest driver. More bedrooms and bathrooms mean more surfaces to clean.
Standard cleanings are cheaper than deep cleans. Move-in/move-out and post-construction cleanings cost the most.
Weekly or bi-weekly clients usually get a 10–25% discount. One-time cleanings cost more per visit.
Pet hair and dander require extra time and products — expect a $20–$40 surcharge.
Interior windows, inside the oven, inside the fridge, and laundry each add $15–$50.
Labor costs in major metro areas run 30–50% higher than rural or small-town markets.

Most households book bi-weekly service. Once-a-week works well for busy families with pets or kids. Monthly is a good fit for singles or couples who maintain the home between visits.
No — many clients provide a key or entry code. Professional cleaning services are bonded and insured. Ask about their key-holding policy when you book.
Standard cleaning covers the regular tasks: vacuuming, mopping, wiping surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and the kitchen. Deep cleaning adds scrubbing baseboards, cleaning inside appliances, detailed cabinet wiping, and more. Most services recommend a deep clean for your first visit.
Usually yes. Most professional cleaners bring their own supplies and equipment. If you have a product preference (for allergies or sustainability), let them know in advance — some will use yours at no extra charge.
