How much does it cost to deep clean a house?
The national average cost of deep cleaning a house ranges from around $175 to $320,* according to Thumbtack data. Several factors might impact the cost of having your home deep cleaned, including:
Your home's size and number of rooms: Larger homes take longer to clean on average, so you should expect to pay more to deep clean a big house with many bathrooms and bedrooms.
The scope of the job: Deep cleaning focuses on detail and thoroughness, but a company might have different cleaning levels with different pricing. Ask your cleaner to explain if they have different pricing tiers for deep and detailed cleanings.
Clutter or extra cleaning needs: The more clutter or additional work needed, the more likely the price will rise.
Your location: The cost of deep cleaning depends on geographic area, and some locations have higher average rates than others. Also, the house cleaner may factor in the cost to travel to your home if it’s outside of their typical range.
You may be able to save money on deep cleaning with these tips:
Get estimates from several cleaners: Getting at least three estimates for a project is generally a good idea, and deep cleaning is no exception.
Pick up clutter before the cleaner arrives: When you declutter your home before a cleaner arrives, you help them work more efficiently.
Ask the cleaner to focus on specific rooms: Deep cleaning often focuses on kitchens and bathrooms, and you may want to consider cleaning other rooms yourself (or only asking for standard cleaning in those locations).
