What a house cleaning costs in 2026
A house cleaning estimate prices a visit while someone still lives in the home. A standard clean covers floors, dusting, the kitchen, and bathrooms, and a deep clean adds the built-up work. A one-time move-out clean of an empty home is the move-out cleaning cost calculator.
A standard clean of a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home runs $120 to $220 every two weeks and $160 to $320 as a one-time visit. A deep clean of the same home runs $170 to $310.
By square foot, a standard clean is $0.06 to $0.17 and a deep clean $0.10 to $0.30. Inside the fridge adds $10 to $50, inside the oven $15 to $45, and pet hair $15 to $40.

What is a free cleaning estimate calculator?+
This page prices a house clean from published ranges, with no sign-up. It is a planning range. The cleaning estimate template is where you write the price you will actually charge.
How should I price cleaning services?+
HomeGuide and Fixr both price by home size and by standard or deep. HomeGuide's maid table also prices weekly, every two weeks, and monthly visits below a one-time clean. Add the fridge at $10 to $50, the oven at $15 to $45, interior windows at $1.60 to $10 each, and pet hair at $15 to $40.
What is the difference between house cleaning and a move-out clean?+
A house clean on this page is a visit while the home is lived in, standard or deep, once or on a schedule. A move-out clean is a one-time clean of an empty home, priced on the move-out cleaning cost calculator.
How this calculator works
The price range for the size of the job comes from the published guides below, from the lowest low to the highest high where they differ. Where your job lands inside that range is our method: each answer that makes the work harder or slower moves it toward the top, and each that makes it easier moves it down. Extras use each guide's published price for that item, and the likely price uses the middle of the extra's range.
The result is a planning estimate, not a quote for a specific home; prices vary by area and by the condition of the home.
