Pricing

How is cleaning priced?

By the hour, not by square footage. One-time standard cleaning is $55/hour with a 2-hour minimum. Recurring standard cleaning is $50/hour monthly, $45/hour bi-weekly, $42.50/hour weekly and $40/hour twice a week. First appointment is $50/hr. These recurring prices start with your 2nd appointment. For a ballpark number for your home, try the Instant Quote calculator on the Pricing page. All prices are estimates until your estimate is confirmed.

How much is a deep clean?

One-time deep cleaning is $55/hour with a 5-hour minimum ($275). Recurring deep cleaning (for example every 4, 5 or 6 months) is $50/hour with a 4-hour minimum ($200), starting with your second deep clean; the first is billed at $50/hour with a 5-hour minimum ($250). Time past the minimum is billed at the same hourly rate. A true deep clean takes most of a day, so it has a longer minimum.

What do other services cost?

Move-in/move-out cleaning is $65/hour. In-home laundry is $50/hour, mobile laundry is $15 per load, and ironing is $20 per bundle of items. Commercial cleaning is $85/hour. See the Pricing & Policies page for every service.

Can your cleaner work shoes-off?

Cancelling with less than 48 hours' notice is also $20, so we have time to offer your spot to another client. If you cancel, your deposit is forfeited.
