How much does regular house cleaning cost?
A regular house cleaning is the standard visit most people book every week, every other week or once a month. The price mostly depends on how many bedrooms and bathrooms you have, since bathrooms take the longest. Homes that are kept up between visits are quicker to clean.

Do it yourself or hire a pro?

Common questions
How often should I schedule a house cleaning?
Every two weeks is a common choice for busy households. Weekly works well with kids or pets, and monthly works for smaller, tidy homes.
Should I tip my house cleaner?
Tipping is common but not required. Many people tip for a recurring cleaner around the holidays or after an especially tough visit.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?
Most cleaners bring their own supplies and equipment. If you want specific products used, ask ahead and leave them out.
