How per-square-foot pricing works
Many cleaners quote by the square foot. Here's the going rate by level of clean:
Standard clean
$0.10–$0.20 / sq ft
Deep clean
~$0.25 / sq ft
Move-out clean
~$0.35 / sq ft
Example: a 1,500 sq ft home at a move-out rate (~$0.35/sq ft) lands around $525 — though condition and access can move that up or down.
What affects the price
Home size (square footage)
The biggest driver. More rooms, bathrooms, and floor area means more time — most cleaners price by square footage or bedroom/bath count.
Level of clean
A standard maintenance clean costs less than a deep clean or a move-out clean, which detail every surface, inside appliances, and built-up grime.
Condition
A well-kept home cleans faster than one that's heavily soiled, post-renovation, or hasn't been cleaned in a while. Condition can move the price up.
Frequency & add-ons
Recurring visits cost less per clean than a one-time job. Extras like inside-the-fridge/oven, interior windows, or laundry add to the total.

Cleaning cost FAQ
How much does move-out cleaning cost in the Twin Cities?+
Move-out (and move-in) cleans typically run $275–$500+, priced by home size and condition — roughly $0.35 per square foot. Because it cleans to a landlord walkthrough standard (inside cabinets and appliances, baseboards, the works), it costs more than a standard clean, but it's usually far less than a withheld deposit. You get one upfront, all-in price before we start.
How much does a deep clean cost?+
A deep clean generally runs $200–$450, or about $0.25 per square foot. It's the once-or-twice-a-year reset — degreasing the kitchen, scrubbing grout and baseboards, and detailing the spots routine cleaning skips. We quote it by your square footage and condition.
How much is recurring house cleaning?+
Recurring cleans are the most affordable per visit — often $120–$250 — because the home stays maintained between visits. Weekly costs less per clean than biweekly, which costs less than monthly. We'll set a schedule and a per-visit price that fit your routine.
What's the difference between a deep clean and a standard clean?+
A standard clean maintains an already-tidy home — surfaces, floors, kitchen, and baths. A deep clean is the reset that tackles built-up grime, grout, baseboards, and inside appliances. Most homes start with a deep clean, then keep it up with cheaper recurring visits.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies?+
No — our crew brings professional supplies and equipment. If you'd prefer specific products or a green option, just let us know when you book.
Is move-out cleaning worth it to get my deposit back?+
Usually, yes. Deposits are often withheld over cleaning, and a professional move-out clean to the walkthrough standard typically costs less than what a landlord would deduct. Tell us your walkthrough date and we'll clean before it.
