A professional house deep cleaning costs, on average $300. Factors that impact the cost include the size of your home, the type of cleaning, and any additional services you choose to book. Deep cleaning for a small home or one room can be much lower, while a deep cleaning for a larger home can increase quickly. Deep cleaning goes beyond routine housekeeping, targeting every corner of your home for a thorough result.
House Deep Cleaning Cost Factors
Your deep cleaning price boils down to the level of cleaning needed and the labor rates in your area. Cleaning companies often discount recurring services, whereas requests such as eco-friendly products add to the total.
Level of Cleaning Needed
Deep cleaning services offer a wider scope of services at higher price points. If your home needs significant work, including baseboards, vents, ceiling fans, and bathrooms, the price can be higher than if you only need your floors, walls, and ceilings cleaned.
Labor
Labor rates in your area will affect the overall price of your deep cleaning. A local deep cleaning pro near you can give you a quote based on an hourly rate, per room, or per square foot.
Frequency
Some cleaning services offer price breaks when you book multiple treatments at once, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly services.
Special Requests
Special requests, such as eco-friendly or all-natural cleaning products, can drive up your costs, unless you are providing supplies separate from service.
Tipping
Tipping is optional but customary. A gratuity of 15% to 20% of the bill is standard when you’re pleased with the deep cleaning service.
Add-Ons
While deep cleaning is thorough, consider if your home requires specialized attention on specific areas that fall outside of the standard scope. When scheduling your cleaning, discuss what is included and what is considered an added service to budget appropriately.
Carpets and Rugs
Carpet cleaning prices range from $120 to $240. Larger and more delicate rugs require more expensive methods.
Drapery and Shutters
Cleaning window treatments costs between $140 and $350 and depends on factors like size, soil level, and cleaning method. For pleated drapes, companies charge $1 to $5 per pleat.
Grout and Tile
Tile and grout cleaning costs average $285 to $675. Companies can charge a minimum to cover labor and use of supplies.
Windows
The cost to clean your windows is $4 to $15 per window and $5 per screen. This varies based on the number of windows you have, the window type, and how dirty they are.
Walls and Baseboards
Cleaning your walls costs $170 to $465 on average, while deep cleaning your baseboards falls between $25 and $75.
Refrigerator and Kitchen Appliances
A fridge cleaning will range from $10 to $40 for typical service, but a neglected appliance can cost more to restore. Oven cleaning runs $20 to $50.
Sofa and Chairs
Cleaning furniture and upholstery costs average $120 to $230. Chairs range from $10 to $50 a piece, while large sectional sofas can go for $100 to $300.
Pet Fur and Odor
Removing pet fur and odor varies by severity and home size. A standard deep cleaning can remove minor pet odors, but severe smells treated with steam cleaning and air filters cost an additional $10 to $100 per room.
Disinfection
Disinfecting your home to reduce germs, bacteria, and viruses can cost anywhere from $15 to $400 or more, depending on whether you do it yourself or hire a professional.
Service Options
Different house cleaning pros employ different pricing structures. These are based on your home size or calculated as a flat rate or per hour charge.
Per Hour
Most deep house cleanings cost $25 to $70 per hour for a single cleaner, or $50 to $120 for two cleaners. Frequently used areas like a kitchen or bathroom can take longer, while add-ons like wall cleaning, appliance cleaning, and handling other services can increase your cost. Experienced cleaners or those with specialized training command higher rates.
Per Square Foot
Some deep cleaning services charge a flat rate based on the square footage of your home. Smaller houses up to 1,000 square feet can cost as little as $100, while larger homes exceeding 3,000 square feet can approach upwards of $1,500 or more.
| Square Feet | Average Price Range |
|---|---|
| Up to 800 | $100–$200 |
| 800-1,500 | $140–$320 |
| 1,500-2,500 | $245–$575 |
| 2,500+ | $330–$900 |
Per Room
Different rooms have different cleaning requirements, meaning your deep house cleaning cost changes accordingly. If a pro charges by the room, these rates reflect potential prices, but there may not be a distinction if you're paying an hourly or flat fee.
| Room | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Bedroom | $50 |
| Living room | $75 |
| Kitchen | $100 |
| Bathroom | $120 |
| Basement | $260 |
| Attic | $330 |
Flat Rate
Some companies also offer flat-rate pricing. You set a budget cap, and the crew works within that amount.
One-Time vs. Recurring
For regular deep cleaning services—which can occur weekly, biweekly, or monthly—many companies offer discounts of 10% to 30% compared to single visits. While you won't need your home deep cleaned every week, if a cleaning company is already cleaning your home regularly, this could save you money on deep cleanings in the long run. More frequent service costs less per visit, and regular upkeep means there’s less dirt to tackle each time.
Move-In or Move-Out
The average cost of a move-in or move-out cleaning is $140 to $500, possibly more, depending on the home's condition and the level of cleaning you're looking for. Renters can use a local move-out cleaning service to satisfy lease requirements and secure their security deposit.
DIY vs. Hiring a Deep Cleaning Pro
DIY deep cleaning costs less, but it’s time-intensive and requires tools and products many homeowners don’t keep on hand. For delicate jobs such as cleaning rugs and upholstery, it's often worth hiring a pro to eliminate the risk of damage.
Budgeting for Deep Cleaning Service
Consider these cost-saving strategies to make your home deep cleaning service more budget-friendly:
To prevent major deep cleans that can cost significantly more, schedule regular deep cleaning services.
Compare quotes from multiple local deep cleaning pros to ensure competitive pricing.
Bundle your deep cleaning services with existing or new housekeeping or maid services that come more regularly for an overall discount on cleaning services.
Lightly tidy your home between visits to make maintenance more manageable and reduce the amount of time cleaners spend caring for your home and charge for their services.
