What to know before you book

Compare

Which schedule fits

Every two weeks is a common choice: the home stays tidy and the price per visit drops. Weekly suits homes with kids, pets or allergies. Monthly suits small homes and tidy households, but each visit takes longer, so it costs closer to a one-time clean.

The first visit costs more

Many companies price the first visit as a deep clean ($180–$420 for a 3-bed home) to bring the home up to their standard. After that, regular visits drop to the recurring price.

Some companies give a discount on the first visit if you sign up for a plan; ask.

How recurring discounts work

Discounts of about 10–30% off the one-time price are common for regular bookings, with weekly getting the biggest cut. At the typical $175 one-time price, a weekly visit at $140 is 20% less.

Read the plan terms before you sign up: late cancellations can carry a fee, and the notice period for ending a plan varies.

Hiring one person directly

An independent cleaner charges $22–$40/hr, less than a company's $30–$70/hr per cleaner. If you control how the work is done and pay one cleaner $3,000 or more in 2026, IRS rules may make you a household employer who owes Social Security and Medicare taxes. If an agency sends the worker and controls what work is done and how, the worker isn't your employee.

Per visit it is the cheapest ($100–$210), but you pay for 52 visits a year — $5,200–$10,920. It suits busy homes with kids or pets.
