How Much Does House Cleaning Cost?
Professional house cleaning costs $25-$50 per hour or $100-$300 per visit for a typical home. Costs depend on home size, number of rooms, cleaning depth, and local rates. A 2,000 sq ft home typically takes 3-5 hours for a standard cleaning.
Standard cleaning includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, kitchen and bathroom cleaning. Deep cleaning adds baseboards, inside appliances, window sills, and detailed scrubbing — typically 1.5x to 2x the standard rate. First-time cleanings often cost more.
Regular cleaning schedules (weekly or bi-weekly) usually offer lower per-visit rates than one-time cleanings. Bathrooms and kitchens take the most time. This calculator estimates time based on typical residential cleaning productivity.
