How Much Does a Deep Cleaning House Cost?

Budgeting for a professional deep clean is a common concern for homeowners. Unlike a standard “tidy-up,” a deep clean is an intensive project that requires more time, specialized products, and a higher level of detail. Understanding how pricing is calculated can help you choose the right service for your home and your wallet.

Quick Answer: Deep Cleaning Prices Vary by Home & Condition

In the United States, there is no “one-size-fits-all” price for deep cleaning. Most professional companies provide estimates based on the specific requirements of the property rather than a flat, universal fee.

Why there is no flat rate

Every home is unique. A 2,000-square-foot home lived in by a single person will require significantly less effort than the same-sized home occupied by a family of five with three golden retrievers. Because deep cleaning involves scrubbing every nook and cranny, the labor involved is highly variable.

What usually increases cost

• Excessive Clutter: If cleaners have to move hundreds of items to reach surfaces, the time spent increases.
• High-End Finishes: Materials like natural stone, delicate wallpapers, or intricate chandeliers require specialized cleaning agents and extra care.
• Hard Water & Mold: Removing heavy calcium deposits in showers or mildew in grout lines is labor-intensive and may require more expensive chemical treatments.

Factors That Affect Deep Cleaning Cost

When you request a quote from JAMA Cleaning, several key factors are taken into consideration to provide an accurate estimate.

Home size and layout

Square footage is the most obvious factor. However, the layout also matters. A multi-story home with multiple staircases and hallways takes longer to navigate and clean than an open-concept single-story apartment of the same size.

Number of bathrooms

Bathrooms are the most time-consuming rooms in any home. They require the most “elbow grease” for scrubbing tubs, tiles, toilets, and glass enclosures. A home with four bathrooms will naturally cost more to deep clean than a home with two, even if the square footage is identical.

Level of dirt and buildup

If it has been a year or more since your last professional cleaning, the buildup of grease in the kitchen and dust on the baseboards will be significant. The “condition” of the home is a major pricing driver; “heavy-duty” deep cleans are priced higher because they require more aggressive cleaning techniques.

Pets in the home

Pets bring joy, but they also bring fur, dander, and occasional odors. Removing pet hair from carpets, upholstery, and behind furniture adds time to the vacuuming and dusting phases of the service.

What’s Included in a Deep Cleaning

To understand the cost, you must understand the value. A deep clean from JAMA Cleaning is a comprehensive sanitization process.

Kitchen and bathroom details

• Kitchen: We don’t just wipe the counters. We clean the interior of the microwave, scrub the stovetop, degrease the range hood, and clean the exterior of all cabinets. Interior fridge and oven cleaning are often included or offered as essential add-ons during a deep clean.
• Bathroom: We focus on total descaling. This includes scrubbing grout, polishing fixtures, cleaning inside medicine cabinets, and ensuring the shower tracks are free of grime.

Floors, baseboards, and fixtures

Standard cleaning usually involves a quick mop or vacuum. In a deep clean, we hand-wipe baseboards, clean under reachable furniture, dust individual blind slats, and wipe down light switches, door handles, and ceiling fan blades.

Deep Cleaning vs Regular Cleaning Pricing

Time investment

A regular cleaning for a standard 3-bedroom home might take 2 to 3 hours. A deep cleaning for that same home can easily take 6 to 8 hours. You are essentially paying for a concentrated burst of labor that achieves results impossible to reach in a standard time slot.

Value comparison

While the upfront cost of a deep clean is higher, the value is found in the “reset.” By removing deep-seated allergens and protecting surfaces from permanent damage, you extend the life of your home’s interior. Once the deep clean is done, subsequent regular cleanings become much more affordable.

FAQs

Is deep cleaning charged hourly or per job?

Many U.S. cleaning companies use a “per-job” rate based on an initial walkthrough or home description to ensure the price is locked in for the customer. However, some services may charge hourly for the first visit if the condition of the home is unknown.

Are supplies included?

At JAMA Cleaning, we provide all professional-grade supplies and high-efficiency equipment. This ensures that we use the correct chemicals for your specific surfaces, such as granite or hardwood, and you don’t have to worry about restocking your closet.

Is deep cleaning required before recurring service?

In most cases, yes. To provide the high standard of maintenance we are known for, we must first bring the home up to a “clean baseline.” Starting with a deep clean ensures that our recurring regular visits are effective and efficient.
