House Cleaning Services, in short

A MaidSimple standard house clean covers every room in the home: kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, all bathrooms, floors throughout, dusting of reachable surfaces, and general tidying. A typical 3 bed / 2 bath home is $265 flat and takes a two-person crew about 1.75 hours. Supplies and equipment are included, the cleaners are W-2 employees, and the quoted price is the price.

What house cleaning services actually means

This is the visit that keeps a home level. It is not a restoration and it is not a rescue mission; it is the clean that means the kitchen is genuinely wiped down, the bathrooms are genuinely scrubbed, and the floors are done properly rather than spot-mopped where the light hits.

Most people book it every two weeks. A standard clean assumes a lived-in home rather than a neglected one, so if it has been six months since anyone cleaned behind the toilet, a deep clean first is the honest recommendation and we will say so rather than quietly running out of time.

Exactly what is included

The full list, so there is nothing to discover on the day.

  • Interior windows beyond glass doors and mirrors — available as an add-on
  • Laundry — available as an add-on
  • Anything above safe ladder reach, or exterior work
  • Heavy furniture moving, pet waste, mold remediation, or biohazards

We would rather write this list down than have a crew and a customer disagree about it in a hallway.

House Cleaning Services prices

Generated by the same pricing engine as the quote form above, so these are real numbers rather than a marketing range.

House Cleaning Services prices by home size
Home size One-time Every 4 weeks Every 2 weeks Weekly

2 bed / 2 bath $240 $230 $215 $205

5 bed / 3.5 bath $375 $355 $340 $320

Prices assume a lived-in home. A tidier home prices lower, a home that has been left a while prices higher, and the form above works out your exact flat number in about a minute. Prices are the same in every city we serve — we do not charge more because of your ZIP code.

When this is the right booking

And when it is not — we would rather send you to the cheaper service than oversell one.

You want it to stay handled

A standard clean on a standing schedule is the cheapest way to keep a home in good shape, because nothing ever gets far enough gone to need the expensive visit.

The home is already lived-in, not neglected

If the last proper clean was within a couple of months, standard is the right call. Further back than that and a single deep clean first will save you money over the year.

You want the same people each time

Because our cleaners are employees rather than a rotating contractor pool, a recurring standard clean means the same team learns your home — which is when the visits get fast and good.

Why our price is what it is

California law effectively requires cleaning crews to be W-2 employees, which means payroll tax, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance on every hour worked. A company quoting far below this is either misclassifying its workers or carrying no insurance in your home. That is the honest answer to why we are not the cheapest quote you will get.

  • Employed, trained & background-checked cleaners
  • Fully insured & bonded for your peace of mind
  • Flat pricing — the quote is the price
  • Easy rescheduling, no contracts ever

House Cleaning Services questions

The general FAQ covers access, supplies, rescheduling and the guarantee.

How long does a standard house clean take?

A two-person crew is on site roughly 1.25 hours for a small condo and about 1.75 hours for a typical 3 bed / 2 bath home. Bigger homes scale from there. The quote form shows the estimated on-site time along with your price, before you book.

What is the difference between a standard clean and a deep clean?

A standard clean covers surfaces you see and touch every day. A deep clean adds the things that are only worth doing occasionally: baseboards in full, inside appliances, grout, vents, door frames and light fixtures. Deep cleans run about 1.55 times the standard price because they take about 1.55 times as long.

Do I need to tidy before you arrive?

No, but clear counters and floors mean the crew spends its time cleaning rather than moving things, and you get more out of the visit. If tidying is exactly what you want done, say so — general tidying is part of a standard clean.

Do you bring supplies and equipment?

Yes, all of it, included in the price: vacuums, mops, cloths and products. If you would rather we use your products because of an allergy, a finish, or a preference, leave them out and tell us in the booking notes.

Move in / out

Empty-home cleaning held to a landlord's checklist rather than a homeowner's — for getting a deposit back, or starting somewhere that feels genuinely yours.
