Understanding the Main Factors in House Cleaning Cost

It’s no secret that most people don’t have much free time to start with — and you probably fall into that category. With what little free time someone does have, they usually want to spend it doing things they actually enjoy like hiking, visiting friends, or painting. 

So where is the time left to do the cleaning that needs to be done? Who’s deep cleaning your bathrooms and steam cleaning your carpets that hold 4 times their weight in dirt? 

If not you, then you’ve probably considered hiring a cleaning company to meet your needs and allow you to spend your time how you want. However, you may be asking yourself: how much does house cleaning cost?

Here’s a short guide the cleaning professionals here at DLL Cleaning Services have put together to help you better understand house cleaning prices and the factors that go into figuring it out. 

There are four main factors that affect the pricing of a house cleaning service: square footage, average cleaning time, frequency of service, and location. 

In general, you will always pay more for a house or an apartment if it’s more square footage. It takes longer to clean, requires more people, and most likely needs more equipment. 

If you’re looking for a one time service or just for someone to come to your house for two hours and clean, you’ll probably pay more. Many places will give a discounted rate or lower their hourly rate for extended cleaning periods. Plus, because they aren’t working that long, they need more money to cover their travel expenses and make enough to earn a living. 

Homeowners can usually save a little bit of money by setting up regular cleaning services. This can come in multiple forms, including daily, weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly.

If you live in a place where the cost of living is lower, your cost for a service will most likely be lower. For example, condo cleaning prices in Los Angeles will be nowhere near the same as prices in a small town in Indiana. 

Services sometimes do play a role in house cleaning costs. It’s what we call specialization. 

Let’s say you have a four-bedroom house that needs a weekly cleaning service that includes deep carpet water extraction. A house down the road with the same square footage that wants the same services except the carpet cleaning will pay less than you. 

Specialized cleaning always costs more, so if you want more special services completed, such as outside window washing, appliance cleaning, and hardwood floor maintenance, your bill will reflect that. 

There are other small and miscellaneous items that could affect the price of your service. For example:

At the end of the day, how much you pay for professional cleaning services can vary and truly depends on multiple factors. 

Nationally , the average apartment cleaning cost is $110. The cost of the average condo cleaning service is between $100 and $180. The average cost of a house cleaning service can range from $100 to $300. 

Luckily, there are a few ways you can get a general sense of the average cost of cleaning in your area:
