What Do Home Cleaning Services Run?

House cleaning businesses often charge for services hourly or via flat rates for each type of work. When a job is likely to take a long time or need more hard work, skills, or equipment, it usually costs more than basic housekeeping services. The best way to learn about cleaning costs in San Francisco is to ask for an estimate. You can also review some average cleaning service costs across the nation to get an idea of what you might pay.

Generally, it costs $75 to $250 per session for most housekeeping services. Housekeeping professionals sometimes do work beyond the scope of cleaning. Some cleaners also do laundry and run errands, and you may pay by the job or by the hour. In some cases, customers may sign a contract for a weekly or monthly payment for specific services.

Home cleaning companies generally emphasize only cleaning tasks. Price points run, on average, $125 to $240 per visit. If you want to hire a service for deep cleaning or special tasks, you may pay $400 or more, depending on the scope of the job.

You might also pay for housekeeping services via an a la carte system, buying only the specific cleaning work you need. As an example, the median cost for gutter cleaning is $160, and the average price for cleaning siding is $280.

What Do Housekeeping Businesses Do?

Every home is unique, and each house has specific cleaning requirements. That’s one reason housekeeping pros provide such a broad range of services. Offerings vary from one-off deep cleanings or specialty cleanings to weekly housekeeping. Knowing the kinds of services available can assist you in finding the right housekeeper.

Some of the most common kinds of services provided by home cleaning companies include:

  • Everyday cleaning. These services are generally offered once a week to daily, depending on your wishes and the service package you choose. Home cleaning businesses may mop, sweep, dust; clean sinks, toilets, and tubs; and wipe down appliances and counters. Some cleaning packages can also include additional services such as doing the laundry.
  • One-off deep cleaning. If you have a big event or holiday on the horizon or want to put your home on the market and want it to look great, you might arrange in-depth cleaning. This service gives your whole home a spring-type cleaning, with cleaning personnel potentially moving larger appliances to clean under and around them, scrubbing walls and baseboards, cleaning glass, and taking on additional cleaning chores that don’t usually fall under everyday housekeeping categories.
  • Specialty house cleaning. Some home cleaning companies offer supplemental services that let you get help cleaning specialty home areas, such as basements, attics, pools and pool houses, or exteriors. One example is pressure washing patios, exterior siding, or driveways.

  • Keeping your home clean is a task that never seems to end, and it can take up most of your free time. Instead of spending your weekends mopping and dusting, consider hiring a housekeeper or cleaning service.
  • Unless a housekeeper performs specific duties regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency or your state or local government, no specific licensing is usually required to become a housekeeper. However, you’ll want to work with a professional who can pass a background check and has a current business license, liability insurance and a surety bond. You’ll also want to select someone who has the experience and can provide references, or someone who has received some professional training from a cleaning company.
  • Keep in mind when hiring any type of professional to clean your home that each state has its own requirements for licensing. You can use Home Advisor’s Contractor Licensing Requirements State-By-State guide to learn more. You can also learn more about the extensive screening process we use when allowing businesses to join our network.

When you hire a housekeeper or cleaning service, there are some questions you’ll need to ask to ensure you’re hiring the right person for the job. Writing down a list of services you want to be completed is a great place to start. This way, you’ll have all the information you need when you do interview a housekeeper or cleaning service, and they can provide you with accurate information and cost estimates.

What Services Do You Offer?

Find out upfront if the housekeeper or cleaning company offers the services you need, especially if you have requests that go beyond basic services.

How Do You Come Up With Your Rates?

Do they charge a flat fee each week? Do they charge an hourly rate? Some companies charge based on your home’s square footage or the number of bedrooms you have.

Do You Provide Your Own Supplies?

Many companies may provide some smaller cleaning supplies, but they may need to use your vacuum cleaner or mop. Others bring their own or none at all. And if you’re particular about the types of chemicals used in your home, you may want to ask what products they use or if they’re willing to use what you provide.

What Happens if Something Goes Wrong?

Anytime you have a professional in your home, something could go wrong. They could get hurt, or some of your property may be damaged. Ask what would happen in these scenarios — a well-qualified professional will have the necessary insurance and bonding to cover these situations.
