Understanding Deep Cleaning House Cost

Deep Cleaning House Cost Breakdown

Be advised that there is usually an additional cost of deep cleaning a house. The primary reasons for the additional cost relate to the need for more cleaner hours to do the cleaning and the inclusion of commercial-grade cleaning chemicals.

When it comes to establishing a house deep cleaning service cost, there are several ways in which the actual costs can be calculated. Let’s take a look at the ways we like to price our deep house cleaning services in the Alexandria area.

Cost Based on Square Footage

Many times, the easiest and fairest way to establish a house deep cleaning service cost is to simply consider the size of the house in terms of square footage. We would do this by measuring the area to be cleaned and applying a price per square foot to come up with a price. This is a great option for customers who live in small houses or apartments and want a deep cleaning throughout the residence. Note: A minimum price is typically charged to ensure fairness for MaidThis.

Room-by-Room Pricing

Each room of your home is unique (utility, size, and shape), which makes the deep cleaning requirements for each room specific. As an example, it takes a lot more time and effort to deep clean a kitchen or bathroom than it does to clean a dining room. If you have a lot of rooms or want a targeted deep cleaning service for a specific room or rooms, the fairest way to price the service would be room-by-room. Quotes for room-by-room pricing could be based on room types or number of rooms.

Fixed Rate Pricing Options

If a customer like you has budget concerns or wants to keep things simple, the fixed-rate pricing option might make the most sense. We can offer this option in one of two ways. First, we could simply quote a flat rate for the deep cleaning services requested. We might even be willing to negotiate a little with this option to fit your budget. The other fixed-rate pricing option would be to establish a deep cleaning cost per hour. The hourly rate option is typically used when targeting a specific room like the kitchen or a bathroom and offers some cost control.

One-Time Versus Recurring Cleaning Costs

It’s possible you might summon us one time for a special house cleaning project or party cleanup. If that were to be the case, the cost for a one-time cleaning might be a little higher than you might expect. We do this because we can’t predict the cleanliness of the home when we arrive for a deep cleaning. If we were to be the cleaning company doing your recurring house cleanings, the Average cost for deep cleaning the house would be lower because of us having control over the cleaning continuity.

Pricing Guide for Deep Cleaning Specific Home Needs

At this point, it might be useful for us to delineate between standard house cleanings and deep house cleanings. It will help to clarify why extra is charged for deep cleaning services.
