Thinking about hiring a house cleaner but not sure how the process actually works?
Here is a walkthrough of what to expect from start to finish!
✨ Step 1: The Initial Walkthrough
Before anyone lifts a mop, a professional cleaner or agency will usually want to do a walkthrough of your home. This can be done in person or sometimes virtually. The goal here is to get an accurate "scope of work." They will check the size of your home, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and discuss your specific needs (like pet hair management or deep cleaning oven interiors).
✨ Step 2: Getting the Quote (Flat Fee vs. Hourly)
Most modern cleaning services will offer a flat fee for your recurring cleanings rather than an hourly rate. This is great for you because you know exactly what you are paying upfront, regardless of how long the cleaners take to make the place sparkle.
✨ Step 3: Choosing Your Frequency
When you get your quotes, you will usually see a breakdown based on how often they visit. The general rule of thumb is: the more frequent the visits, the less you pay per individual clean!
Weekly: The lowest price per clean. Best for busy households, busy families, or homes with multiple pets.
Bi-weekly: The most popular option. Keeps your home consistently clean with a great balance of cost and maintenance.
Monthly: Higher price per clean because there is more buildup to tackle each time. Best for low-traffic homes or those who just want a monthly deep-clean reset.
✨️No two homes are the same, and neither are their cleaning needs! I tailor every job to exactly what you are looking for—whether that means focusing strictly on the floors and bathrooms or doing a complete, top-to-bottom scrub of every corner.
My pricing generally runs roughly between $110 and $400 depending on the frequency of the visits, with options for weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or one-time deep cleans.
