House Cleaning Cost

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.

• Major tasks like window and wall cleaning are generally not included.
• Oven or refrigerator cleaning runs around $25. Dusting mini blinds averages $20.

• 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.

• 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
