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[1] in Texas offers a website calculator to help determine cleaning costs according to the number and type of rooms.
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[2] 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[3] outlines the regulations. Although house cleaners who work as independent contractors are generally not considered employees, the IRS provides tax information[4] .
Tip: Before hiring a cleaning service, ask the company for references and make any special cleaning requests upfront so workers will be prepared

My house smells so clean and looks amazing . I highly recommend them.. They always come in with a smile.. They offer organizing as well.. Great Company and GREAT Cleaners..

I've hired so many house cleaners and never thought I would find someone to really clean my house. This business is a small local business and has an a la carte type of service. They do a deep cleaning each time they visit and I get to choose what I want done and when I want it done. They did everything from washing every baseboard, cleaning every door frame and door, to washing Windows inside and out, and everything in between. They definitely do not cut corners and I can now literally eat off my floors! My hardwood floors have never shined so nicely. They use mostly non toxic products and bring their own equipment. They treat me like family and they are amazing with all my pets and don't even charge extra for having pets!! They charge by the hour and the rate is based on how often they visit. There you have it! They service the Lebanon and Dauphin County areas. Snatch them up because they get booked very quickly.
My cleaning lady does a fantastic job she works with her sister and they do several homes. My home smells great and when I tell you it's clean and I never have to complain it's spotless every time. If you're in the area (Montgomery) and looking for dependable and yet through workers check her and her sister out.
They came for a free estimate and their prices are very affordable. The ladies they sent to my home were presentable, nice, and cleaned my house really nice. I noe have them coming back twice a month.
I have looked and looked for a cleaning service that would do a highly detailed cleaning that I could trust. I found Simply The Best In Residential & Office Cleaning and I will never let go! Sally spends about 6 hours non stop to get my home SPOTLESS. She cleans every thing and dose not miss a spot. When I come home the house smell wonderful and it's as clean as clean can be. I would highly recommend her to any one.
I clean a 4 bedroom 2 story farm house. They expect me to pick-up after them, do dishes,clean bathroom, wash floors, dust and vacuum. They also expect me to take their laundry to a laundromat once a week. I am paid $100.00 a week. Should I be paid more?

This crew of 4 were absolutely amazing. I asked for clean but everything looked brand new. I thought I walked into someone else's house. The detailing was far beyond any company I've ever hired before. Friendly, down to earth wonderful cleaning pro's!
PCS is a great company with great staff that knows how to get the job done right. My current cleaning lady (that i have been using for the last 8 years) got out of the business and i was in desperate need of a cleaning service. I called all around Atlanta and just couldn't find my match. One day I called PCS and I haven't looked back since. They pay so much attention to detail and are very good at what they do. My cleaner is always punctual and polite. My home smells and looks amazing once PCS leaves and I am very satisfied with them. I tell all my friends about them! Give them a call if you live in Atlanta or surrounding areas. (678) 876-7126
