Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much do you pay for house cleaning?

Hiring a professional house cleaning service is a helpful way to have a healthy home even when your work and personal schedule is packed. House cleaning prices vary based on how many square feet your home is, how dirty your house gets, and how often the cleaning service comes. Some companies charge a set amount — such as 5 cents — per square foot, with a minimum amount, such as $100. The national average cost for house cleaning ranges between $110 and $150. Prices can be lower in areas with a lower cost of living, higher in big cities or affluent regions. You may save money by increasing the frequency of your house cleaning visits. Often a company will charge you less per cleaning when you schedule more cleanings per month. The cost advantage rewards your loyalty, and also reflects the fact that more frequent cleanings make it easier to maintain a high level of cleanliness in your home. A housecleaning service may charge more for the first visit or for one-time services than for recurring cleanings.

How much does it cost to deep clean a house?

Deep cleaning a house goes beyond the surface level to clear out the dust, grime and gunk that’s collecting on the fan blades, hiding in the blinds, and built up inside the refrigerator drawers. Deep cleaning of a home or apartment costs more than regular house cleaning because it takes more time, effort, and cleaning products. You may choose to have a deep cleaning once or several times a year in addition to your standard cleaning services. You may have a one-time deep cleaning to prepare for company or to clean after a house party. Companies may charge an hourly rate or a price per square foot, or may offer you a flat rate after they have visited your home and estimated work time. The national average house cleaning price is $110-$150, with rates ranging higher for deep-cleaning services. Here are some examples of how a company may calculate their deep-cleaning prices:

10 cents per square foot (compared with 5 cents per square foot for standard house cleaning).
$300 for a 3,000-square-foot home.
$25 per hour per worker for deep-cleaning services.

How much does a move-out cleaning cost?

Moving is hard enough work even before you have to clean the empty home to perfection. Instead of scrubbing your tile grout with a toothbrush, hire a professional cleaning company to provide move-out cleaning services for you. For moving out of an apartment, cleaning prices can range from $110 to $150. When scheduling a move-out cleaning, talk with the pro and confirm all the key points they will clean to ensure you receive your deposit back.

Important areas to have cleaned include the fridge interior, the oven interior, bathroom tile, the shower and tub, all blinds, and sometimes the walls. Some cleaning companies do not quote a flat rate for a move-out cleaning, as the number of hours it may take to clean structurally identical apartments could vary greatly depending on how clean or dirty the inhabitants were. For example, move-out house cleaning prices may range from $150 to $180 for one- or two-bedroom apartments.

Kate performed a move out cleaning on my 1-br, 1-ba apartment. She worked with me on scheduling the appointment so that I did not have to take time off work to be there. The place was spotless when she finished cleaning. She was very easy to talk to and kept in contact from the moment she replied to my request up until she showed up at my doorstep. I would recommend Kate's cleaning for the excellent job she and her partner did.

I needed last minute "move-out" cleaning for sale of home (to include lawn cleanup). Affordable Landscaping and Cleaning made arrangements to fit me into schedule and did a superb job both inside the home and with the lawn. Great customer service, professional, reasonable fees... exceptional work. Highly recommend and will use again in the future.

Hope did an amazing job on my apartment! I was initially drawn in to Hope's affordable pricing, but Hope goes above and beyond to make sure your home is clean and sanitized while making you feel at ease. Her speedy, yet thorough work was more than impressive. I would absolutely recommend Hope's House Cleaning to others.

Ashley arrived on time (a little early in fact) and brought all cleaning supplies needed to do a great job. She was courteous and worked quickly, but did a fantastic job cleaning my apartment (which was desperately overdue for a cleaning). I would highly recommend her services.

Anna is great, I had her come by every other week and to help with move-in/out cleaning. She holds herself to a very high standard and her cleaning is so in depth she gets the house sparkling. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a deep clean or weekly assistance to keep up with things.

Sylvia could not be any more terrific to work with, she is really a pleasure, always punctual and reliable and does a very through job! I highly recommend her to vacation rental owners, as well as for regular housekeeping and move out cleaning!!

Jimmy did a great job with my move-out cleaning! When I had to juggle my schedule he was super easy to work with to reschedule the cleaning. I was even out of town when he came to do it and when I returned my landlord was very happy with his services and how well he took care of the moveout in my absence.

her first cleaning will be on 12/23 but I thoroughly enjoyed her interview and I believe she is the right person for me. I will be happy to offer more info after she has actually begun.

From the very start Coastal has been professional and courteous. By far, they have offered the most thorough clean than any other cleaning company we've used in the past. They are gentle with our furnishings and put all our staged items back in their proper place. They are always on time and have respected our time slot fully. And their price is competitive. We highly recommend this company.

I hired All in One cleaning to just do a general cleaning of the first floor and above the cabinets in my kitchen. They did a great job and I'd definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

11/14/15 One Time move in cleaning. Benny and Megan deserve 6 out of 5 stars. They are professional with outstanding service. They take pride in their work and make sure that the service goes above expectations. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you

Anna M.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I submitted a request and I received a very quick response. Very professional and over the top quality services. COPI offers a variety of services. It is basically a one stop shop and the great thing about the company is if you need more than one service they will bundle the services and offer a great discount. Their prices are very fair and they are so friendly and professional. Based on their services, I am now committed to their on-going cleaning services because they went above and beyond. They also did extraordinary service grouting and sealing my kitchen tile and caulking my bathroom. I will use their service for all of my renovation needs and future projects also. I highly, highly recommend COPI and their services and I will continue to use them in the future for all of my home needs.
