  • Deep cleaning: about $200–$450

Standard vs. deep clean

A standard clean covers kitchens, bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming and mopping. A deep clean adds baseboards, inside appliances, cabinet fronts and built-up grime. Most companies want a deep clean before starting recurring service.

Questions to ask

  1. Are you insured and bonded?
  2. Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?
  3. Will the same team come each visit?
  4. What happens if something is missed or damaged?
  5. How do you handle pets, keys and alarm codes?

Red flags

  • No insurance or no written agreement
  • Cash only with no receipts
  • Prices that seem far below everyone else’s
