Buying back your weekends, at a fair price.
This category covers the full cleaning stack: recurring house cleaning and maid services, one-time and move-out deep cleans, and carpet cleaning as its own trade with its own equipment, from truck-mounted hot water extraction to rental machines.
Cleaning is a trust purchase more than a price purchase, which is why comparing several local providers matters: you are comparing insurance, background checks, consistency of crew and satisfaction policies, not just the hourly number.
Describe the home, the frequency you want and any focus areas. Local cleaning pros respond with quotes, and recurring service becomes one less thing your calendar has to carry.
What does it cost?
Published averages put standard recurring cleans at $120 to $250 per visit for a typical home, deep cleans and move-out cleans at $250 to $600, and professional carpet cleaning around $40 to $75 per room with whole-home packages common.

House Cleaning questions, answered straight
How much does house cleaning cost?
National averages run $120 to $250 per visit for a standard clean of a 3-bedroom home, with deep cleans roughly double. Frequency discounts are standard, so quote the schedule you actually want.
What is included in a standard vs deep clean?
Standard covers floors, bathrooms, kitchen surfaces and dusting. Deep cleaning adds baseboards, inside appliances, grout, blinds and buildup removal. Most services require a deep clean first before starting recurring service.
Are cleaners insured and background checked?
Reputable companies carry liability insurance and bond their staff, and will say so in writing. Independent cleaners can be excellent too; just ask directly. This is a fair thing to compare across competing quotes.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Every 12 to 18 months for typical households, more often with pets and kids, and most carpet warranties actually require periodic professional cleaning with receipts. Store those receipts in your My Home record.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
Most clients are not. Standard practice is a lockbox, garage code or smart lock, plus notes on pets and alarm codes. First visits are worth being present for the walkthrough.
