How to Price House Cleaning Jobs
Residential cleaning is most commonly priced by bedroom and bathroom count. Customers think in rooms, not square feet, so this model is easier to communicate and sell.
The formula: Start with a base price per bedroom tier, add per-bathroom surcharges, multiply by clean type (standard vs deep vs move-out), subtract any recurring discount, and add individual add-ons.

House Cleaning Pricing FAQs
How much should I charge to clean a 3-bedroom house?▼
A standard clean for a 3-bed/2-bath home typically runs $150–$220. Deep cleans for the same home usually cost $220–$320. First-time cleans are often 20–30% higher than the recurring maintenance rate.
Should I charge hourly or flat rate for house cleaning?▼
Most customers prefer a flat rate because they want to know the total before the clean starts. Use hourly math internally to make sure your flat rate protects your margin, then sell the flat number.
How much should a first-time cleaning cost?▼
First-time cleans should cost 20–30% more than recurring visits. The home is unknown, often has more buildup, and takes longer because your crew hasn't seen it before.
What add-ons should I offer for house cleaning?▼
Common add-ons include inside oven ($25–$50), inside fridge ($20–$40), interior windows ($5–$10 per window), laundry/folding ($15–$40), and bed linen changes ($10–$20 per bed). Always list them as separate line items.
How much do house cleaners make per hour?▼
When priced correctly, residential cleaners typically earn $40–$80 per hour per cleaner. If you're earning less than $35/hour after supplies and travel, your pricing is likely too low.
