Whether you're preparing for guests, settling into a new place, or just tired of spending weekends scrubbing, professional house cleaning can be a game-changer. But the most common question we get at The CoBuilders is simple:


How much does house cleaning cost?


The short answer: it depends on your home size, the type of cleaning, and how often you need it.


The long answer? Let’s break it down.


Average House Cleaning Costs in the U.S.


Nationally, homeowners spend between $120 and $250 for a one-time standard house cleaning. But several factors affect this price range, including:



At The CoBuilders, our pricing is flat-rate, not hourly—so you’ll always know the cost upfront, no surprises.


Types of Cleaning and Their Costs


Not all cleaning services are created equal. Here’s how pricing differs by service type:


Standard Cleaning

Ideal for regular maintenance:


  • Dusting, vacuuming, kitchen & bathroom cleaning
  • Surface wipe-downs and floor mopping
  • Trash removal


Estimated Cost: $120 – $200


Deep Cleaning


Best for first-time visits or homes that need extra TLC:


  • Inside appliances (fridge, oven)
  • Baseboards, vents, and light fixtures
  • Tile scrubbing and grime removal


Estimated Cost: $200 – $400+


Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

  • Empty-home cleaning
  • Cabinets, closets, interior windows
  • Wall scuffs and detailed sanitization


Estimated Cost: $250 – $500+


Recurring Cleaning Services

If you book weekly or biweekly cleanings, most companies—including us—offer discounts of 10–20% off per visit.


What Impacts the Price of House Cleaning?


Here are the top factors that can influence what you’ll pay:


1. Square Footage

Larger homes take longer to clean and require more labor and supplies.


2. Type of Cleaning

Standard, deep, and move-out services vary in time and scope.


3. Condition of the Home

Heavily soiled or neglected homes may cost more due to extra labor.


4. Location

Cleaning prices vary by region and cost of living. Urban areas may see slightly higher rates.


5. Add-On Services

Carpet cleaning, inside windows, laundry, and organizing can be added for an extra fee.


What’s Included in a Typical Cleaning?


At The CoBuilders, all standard cleanings include:


  • Kitchen and bathroom surface sanitizing
  • Dusting of reachable surfaces
  • Vacuuming, mopping, sweeping
  • Trash removal
  • Mirror and fixture polishing
