What Affects House Cleaning Prices in DC

Square Footage

Your home's square footage is the primary pricing factor. We use sqft ranges instead of bedroom counts because a 3-bedroom condo and a 3-bedroom row house are very different cleaning jobs.

Current Condition

A well-maintained home costs less to clean than one that has not been professionally cleaned in months. Heavy buildup, pet hair, or clutter add time and cost.

Cleaning Frequency

Weekly clients save 50% per cleaning. Bi-weekly saves 40%. Monthly saves 30%. Recurring homes stay cleaner between visits, making each cleaning faster.

Add-On Services

Inside oven ($50), inside fridge ($50), window cleaning ($4-$8/window), and dishes ($30/load) are available as add-ons to any service.
