Where this number comes from
A standard clean of an average home runs $100 to $200, deep cleans $200 to $400, with recurring visits discounted. Cleaning is the largest, most solo-dominated home-service trade (about 1.16M U.S. businesses).

How this calculation works
Cleaning is priced by the home and the type of clean: 1. Base price scales with bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage (more rooms and area take more time). 2. Clean type multiplies it: a deep clean (baseboards, inside appliances) or move-out clean runs about 1.5 to 1.6x a standard clean. 3. Frequency discount: recurring weekly or biweekly visits cost less per clean (down to ~85%) because the home stays in better shape. 4. Monthly cost = per-visit price x visits per month. The result is a range because rates vary by region and condition. Many cleaners require a deep clean before starting recurring service.

Homeowner budgeting
3 BR / 2 BA, 1,800 sq ft, biweekly standard.
Expect roughly $120 to $200 per visit, less than a one-time clean thanks to the recurring discount.
Move-out planning
4 BR empty home, deep move-out clean.
Move-out cleans are priced like deep cleans, around 1.5x standard. Budget $250 or more.
Cleaner pricing a route
Quoting a recurring biweekly client.
Use the per-visit floor, then put the client on a card on file so recurring billing is hands-off.
