House Cleaning Cost Calculator

House cleaning costs $100–$300 per visit for a standard cleaning, depending on home size and number of bedrooms/bathrooms. A 1,500 sq ft, 3BR/2BA home typically costs $120–$200 for standard cleaning, $180–$300 for deep cleaning, and $240–$400 for move-in/out cleaning.

Deep cleaning costs 1.5–2× more than standard cleaning, typically $200–$400 for an average home. It includes baseboards, inside cabinets, appliance interiors, window sills, ceiling fans, and detailed bathroom scrubbing that standard cleaning skips.

Per-visit cost is lowest with weekly service (15% discount) because the home stays cleaner between visits. However, bi-weekly (10% discount) is the most popular frequency as it balances cost and cleanliness. Monthly total: weekly ~$340–$680 vs. bi-weekly ~$216–$432 for a typical home.

Standard cleaning includes vacuuming, mopping, dusting surfaces, wiping countertops, cleaning toilets/sinks/tubs, making beds, emptying trash, and kitchen surface cleaning. It does not include inside cabinets, baseboards, windows, or appliance interiors.

Move-in/out cleaning costs $200–$500+ and is the most thorough cleaning type. It includes everything in a deep clean plus inside all closets/cabinets, appliance deep clean (oven, fridge), window washing, garage sweeping, and wall spot cleaning. Allow 4–8 hours.

Tipping is customary but not required. 15–20% of the cleaning cost is standard for one-time or occasional service. For recurring service, $10–$20 per visit or a larger holiday tip is common. If the cleaning company owner cleans your home, tipping is optional.
