House Cleaning Cost by Number of Bedrooms

House cleaning cost by number of bedrooms runs from about $150 to $185 for a 1 bedroom home up to $210 to $275 for a 6 or more bedroom home, for a standard clean at the average 1,500 to 2,000 square foot size. Each additional bedroom adds $12 to $18 to the price, since bedrooms take real time to dust, vacuum, and tidy on top of whatever square footage they sit inside.

Cost factors

What changes the price

Bedroom count
Adds $12 to $18 per bedroom beyond the baseline of 2, reflecting the real time it takes to dust, vacuum, and make up an additional room.
Bathroom count
Adds $16 to $24 per bathroom beyond the baseline of 2, more per unit than a bedroom, since bathrooms involve more detailed scrubbing per square foot.
Square footage
Sets the base price a bedroom count is added onto. A 4 bedroom home in a compact 2,000 square foot layout costs less than a 4 bedroom home spread across 3,500 square feet.
Cleaning type and frequency
The bedroom-based total above is for a one-time standard clean. Deep cleaning, move-out cleaning, and recurring frequency discounts all apply on top of it.
Frequently asked

Questions people ask before booking

How much does it cost to clean a 3 bedroom house?

For an average 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home with 2 bathrooms, a standard clean of a 3 bedroom house runs $170 to $225 before your ZIP code is applied. Three bedrooms is the most common U.S. home size, and the default most cleaning calculators, including ours, are built around.

How much more does each additional bedroom cost?

About $12 to $18 more per bedroom beyond the baseline of 2, for a standard clean. A 5 bedroom home costs roughly $36 to $54 more than an otherwise identical 2 bedroom home.

Do bathrooms or bedrooms cost more to add?

Bathrooms cost more per unit to add, at $16 to $24 each versus $12 to $18 per bedroom, since a bathroom involves more detailed scrubbing of tile, fixtures, and grout relative to its square footage than an open bedroom does.

Does a studio or 1 bedroom apartment use the same pricing?

House cleaning pricing, including the numbers above, applies to houses. Apartments and studios are typically priced on their own scale, since total square footage tends to run smaller even at the same bedroom count.

What if my home does not fit neatly into a bedroom count, like a converted loft?

Use square footage as the primary guide in that case. The calculator above lets you set home size and bedroom count independently, so a converted loft with 2 legal bedrooms but a large open floor plan can be priced by its actual square footage instead.

Bedroom count is a reasonable shorthand, but two 3 bedroom homes can differ by a thousand square feet or more. Use the calculator above with your actual bedroom, bathroom, and square footage numbers together for the most accurate price.
