Real house cleaning costs in Dallas
Here's what common house cleaning jobs cost in Dallas in 2026, with the cleaner bringing supplies.
Every-two-weeks cleaning, 3-bed home — a full year
Twenty-six visits at $110–$230 each comes to $2,860–$5,980 a year in Dallas. At the typical $160 a visit, that is $4,160. Many companies price the first visit as a deep clean ($180–$420).
Moving out of a 2-bedroom apartment
An empty-home clean, inside cabinets and appliances, runs $140–$330 in Dallas. Book it after the movers leave, and ask whether inside the oven and fridge are included or extra ($20–$50 each).
One-time deep clean of a 3-bed, 2-bath home
Baseboards, vents, light fixtures, behind furniture and built-up soap scum. A deep clean in Dallas is $180–$420, against $120–$260 for a standard visit.
Standard clean plus oven, fridge and 2 loads of laundry
A standard 3-bed clean ($175 typical) plus inside the oven ($35), inside the fridge ($35) and two loads of laundry ($15 each) comes to about $275. Ask for add-on prices before the visit.
Post-construction clean after a remodel (2,000 sq ft)
Fine dust on every surface, paint and sticker removal, inside cabinets and windows. In Dallas this runs $400–$1,200; a regular cleaning visit won't cover it.

|---|---|---|

| Local cleaning company (per cleaner) | $30–$70/hr | Insured teams, backup staff when someone is sick, flat prices by home size |
| National franchise team (Molly Maid, Merry Maids, The Maids) | $60–$150/hr | Rate is for a 2–3 person team: set checklists, background-checked staff, online booking |

Hourly rate vs what you actually pay — the Dallas cleaning bill
A $45/hr company rate is per cleaner. Most companies send two people, so the clock runs at about $90/hr for the team, and a 3-bed home takes the pair around 2 hours — about $175 in all.
Independent cleaners charge less per hour ($20–$40/hr) but usually work alone, so the visit takes longer. Compare the total for the visit, not the hourly rate, and check the minimum charge ($100–$150 at many companies).
What's included in a Dallas house cleaning quote (and what costs extra)
A standard visit covers dusting, wiping counters and outside surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and the kitchen, vacuuming and mopping floors, and taking out the trash. The headline price often leaves out:
- Inside the oven and fridge — $20–$50 and $20–$60
- Inside cabinets — $30–$120 for the kitchen, often included on a move-out
- Interior windows — $4–$12 a window
- Laundry and bed linens — $10–$20 a load
Ask for the checklist in writing, and whether the first visit is priced as a deep clean.
The size of the home
Bedrooms and bathrooms set most of the price. In Dallas, a 1-bedroom apartment is $75–$160, a 3-bed $120–$260, and each extra bedroom or bathroom adds $20–$60.
Standard, deep or move-out
A deep clean of a 3-bed home costs $180–$420 and a move-out clean $200–$480, because they cover baseboards, vents, inside cabinets and appliances.
How often you book
Weekly visits run $100–$210 and every two weeks $110–$230, because a home cleaned often stays easier to clean. A one-time visit costs the most.
The condition of the home
Pet hair, heavy grime, clutter on counters and floors, or a home that hasn't been cleaned in months all add time. Expect the first visit to cost more.
Add-ons
Inside the oven ($20–$50), inside the fridge ($20–$60), inside cabinets ($30–$120), interior windows ($4–$12 each) and laundry ($10–$20 a load) are usually extra.
Company or independent cleaner
A company charges $30–$70/hr per cleaner and carries insurance and backup staff. An independent cleaner charges $20–$40/hr but may not be insured.
Where in Dallas you live
Deep Ellum & Downtown runs highest because of parking and building rules. Outlying areas can add a travel charge of $15–$40.
- Book a regular slot.Every two weeks costs about $160 a visit for a 3-bed home in Dallas, against $175 for a one-time clean.
- Pick up before the cleaner comes.Clear counters, floors and beds of clutter. Cleaners charge for time, and time spent tidying is time you pay for.
- Skip add-ons you don't need every time.Inside the oven or fridge ($20–$50 each) can be done every few months instead of every visit.
- Get a price by home size.A flat price by bedrooms and bathrooms is easier to compare than an hourly rate, and it can't run long.
- Ask about first-visit pricing.Many companies charge deep-clean prices ($180–$420) on the first visit. Ask whether a regular plan lowers or waives it.
- Compare two quotes for big jobs.Move-out ($200–$480) and post-construction ($400–$1,200) prices vary a lot between Dallas companies.
Before you book a cleaner in Dallas, get these in writing:
- The price per visit, and what home size it assumes
- Whether the first visit is priced as a deep clean
- A checklist of what each visit covers, room by room
- Add-on prices: inside the oven, fridge and cabinets, windows, laundry
- Who brings supplies and equipment
- Proof of insurance, and whether staff are employees or contractors
- The cancellation and lockout policy
