| House cleaning service (sometimes called maid service) varies in cost according to frequency of service, condition and size of home. Prices are generally based either on the number of rooms, the square footage or by the hour. | | |
| Typical costs: | - One-time cleaning of a 900-square foot two-bedroom apartment with five rooms, costs $74-$200. A 1,300 square-foot single-story home with seven rooms runs $95-$300. A 2,200 two-story three-bedroom home with nine rooms averages $149-$400.
- Biweekly cleaning of the same five-room apartment costs $59-$124, the seven-room single-story home runs $79-$150, and the larger nine-room two-story home costs $104-$180.
- More Hands.com in Texas offers a website calculator to help determine cleaning costs according to the number and type of rooms.
What should be included: | - A typical regular cleaning includes vacuuming, dusting, scrubbing sinks, floors, countertops and range hoods. Some services include loading the dishwasher and changing bed linen. Generally, a cleaning service will bring all the cleaning products and tools.
- MaidPro in Boston, Massachusetts bundles cleaning into 3, 5 and 7-hour packages varying from $129 to $266 for a one-time service. Biweekly jobs take 2-3 hours per visit and run $50-$70. Rates vary greatly across the country, according to a MaidPro sales representative. In Boston there are many more apartments and smaller homes than in Texas where the average home is 3,000 square feet.
Additional costs: | - Major tasks like window and wall cleaning are generally not included.
- Oven or refrigerator cleaning runs around $25. Dusting mini blinds averages $20.
Discounts: | - Signing up for more frequent service often means a discounted rate. Biweekly cleaning versus one-time means a savings of $50-$200, depending on the size of the home.
Shopping for house cleaning: | - When choosing to hire an individual through a classified ad or personal referral, The US Department of Labor outlines the regulations. Although house cleaners who work as independent contractors are generally not considered employees, the IRS provides tax information.
- Tip: Before hiring a cleaning service, ask the company for references and make any special cleaning requests upfront so workers will be prepared

I have to say I am beyond excited to finally get the right people in my home. I have gone through 5 cleaning services within the past 2 years. It's been pretty frustrating for me. It was a mother and daughter team that came over to clean. They were polite and professional. I have 4 bedrooms 2.5 baths. They were here for about 4.5 hours. They did a very good job. They do charge more for appliances and blinds. |

My company uses this cleaning service for their office and I asked one of the cleaners if they do houses and was very impressed when they cleaned our home. These ladies didn't waste time and were in and out in time for me to prepare for my dinner party the same day. I now use them two times a month and absolutely love them |

These people are not like other cleaning services. First, MUCH cheaper than the others I called. Second, SO down to earth and friendly! Third, Professional and Thorough!! I had another service clean for me last year and those ppl were rude and left dirt behind and made me feel like I got robbed after I paid the bill... NOT THE CASE with R&D. They did a wonderful job, they were so nice and when it was time to do their job, they exceeded my expectations, seriously. |

We have used different services before we settled for a small family owned service because of the attention to detail, reliability and personal touches to the house on each visit. The lady who cleans our home is thorough, careful and the best we have had. She brings her own supplies also. The rates in our area could go from $25 to $40 an hour and usually do not include laundry, windows, fridge or blinds. Those are usually extras and we are glad to pay for them as needed. You may find lower rates from other services, but buyer beware! They are subcontractors that bring in illegals and if something breaks or disappears you never see them again. |
