What affects the price
Frequency
Weekly and biweekly cleans cost the least per visit because less builds up between them. A one-off or first clean always costs more for the same home.
Home size & bathrooms
Price tracks square footage, number of rooms and especially bathrooms — bathrooms and kitchens are the slowest rooms to clean.
Condition & extras
Pets, clutter, inside-oven, inside-fridge and interior windows all add time on top of a standard clean.

How much does house cleaning cost per visit?
Most standard cleans run $120–$250 depending on home size. A first-time or deep clean is $200–$450, and recurring visits are cheaper per clean.
Is it cheaper to book recurring cleans?
Yes — weekly or biweekly visits usually cost 10–25% less per clean than a one-off, because there is less buildup to work through each time.
Do cleaners charge per hour or a flat rate?
Both are common. One-time and deep cleans are often hourly ($25–$60/hr per cleaner), while recurring visits are usually a flat per-visit rate.
