How much does a cleaning service cost?
Those are starting points, not a quote. The real cost of a cleaning service depends on the scope, the home or building's size and condition, how often you book, and your local cost of living. The table below compares the common types side by side, and each row links to a calculator that estimates your specific job.

Hourly, per room, per square foot, or flat
Hourly ($25 to $50 per cleaner) is simple and common on first visits and unpredictable jobs. Per-room and per-square-foot pricing scale cleanly with size and are standard for commercial and post-construction work. A flat rate per visit is the easiest to sell because the client knows the number up front - most residential cleaners estimate the hours behind the scenes, then quote flat. For what standard house cleaning costs in detail, see the house cleaning prices guide.
What affects the price of a cleaning service
- Type of clean - standard, deep, move-out, office, and post-construction are different scopes with different ranges
- Size - more bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage means more hours
- Condition - a neglected or heavily used space takes longer than a maintained one of the same size
- Frequency - a one-time clean costs the most per visit; recurring service earns a 10 to 20 percent discount
- Location - the same clean costs more in a major metro than in a rural area
- Add-ons - inside the oven, interior windows, laundry, and floor care each add to the base
- Solo cleaner vs agency - an independent prices lower; an insured agency's rate covers payroll, supplies, and insurance
