How much does house cleaning cost?
Typical US cost: $118–$237 USD.
Recurring house cleaning is a scheduled service — weekly, every two weeks, or monthly — where the cleaner works through the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas on each visit. Pricing is per visit under an ongoing arrangement, which is why it sits below one-time cleaning rates for the same home.

Ranges are drawn from published 2025–2026 market research (Angi/HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack contractor-reported data and national cost references). They are typical ranges, not quotes — a pro prices your actual job after seeing its size, condition and materials.
What drives the price
- Home size — bedroom and bathroom count and total square footage
- Visit frequency: more frequent visits usually cost less per visit
- Number of occupants and pets in the home
- Tasks beyond the standard list, such as inside appliances, windows, or laundry
- How much tidying the cleaner has to do before actual cleaning can start
- Whether the service supplies its own products and equipment or uses yours
Common questions
How much does house cleaning cost?
Typical US cost for house cleaning is $118 to $237 USD, based on published market research. Your exact price depends on project size, scope and materials.
How can I get an exact house cleaning quote?
Use the HomeTarget cost calculator for a range based on your project size, then request quotes — local pros price the actual job, and requesting quotes is free for homeowners.
What is the difference between a recurring clean and a deep clean?
A recurring clean maintains a home that is already in reasonable shape, covering surfaces, floors, kitchens, and bathrooms on a regular rotation. A deep clean is a longer, more detailed one-time visit, and many services ask new clients to start with one before recurring visits begin.
Do I need to be home during a cleaning visit?
Most homeowners are out during recurring visits and arrange access in advance — a key, garage code, or lockbox. For the first visit, being home to walk through priorities, access, and anything fragile is common.
