House Cleaning Cost Calculator

A standard clean is priced at $0.15 per square foot in this calculator (with a $120 minimum visit), so a 2,000 sq ft home computes to about $300. Deep cleans cost about 1.75× and move-out cleans about 2× a standard.

A standard clean covers routine surfaces, floors, and bathrooms. A deep clean adds detail work such as baseboards, inside appliances, scrubbed grout, and window tracks, which is why it costs roughly 1.75 times more.

Yes. Most companies discount standing schedules because a regularly cleaned home stays cleaner and each visit is faster - commonly about 20% off weekly, 15% biweekly, and 10% monthly versus a one-time job.

A tip of 10–20% is customary for good work, especially for one-time deep or move-out cleans. For recurring service some clients tip per visit and others give a larger holiday bonus.

Most residential jobs are charged at a flat rate based on home size. Hourly ($25 to $50 per cleaner) is common for first visits or unpredictable messes.

Many companies require an initial deep clean to establish a baseline before switching you to the cheaper recurring rate. That first visit often takes about twice as long.

Standard supplies are usually included; specialty products or your own preferred green cleaners may change the quote. Ask before you book.
