The average national hourly rate for house cleaning services is $25 to $90 per individual, or $50 to $90 per hour. The size and condition of your home will strongly impact the price of these services. Residential cleaning service prices depend on the extent of the cleaning job and any specialized services.
Yes, we recommend it. Here’s a few suggestions:
- Clear the floors. It is greatly appreciated if you could do you best to pick up as many items off the floor as possible
- Tidy up the counters
- Put away valuables and important documents
- Secure any pets
- Leave specific instructions, if necessary
Generally however we budget the following number of hours cleaning for each property type: 1-bed (2.5hrs); 2-bed 2-bed 1-bath (3hrs), 2-bed 2-bath (3.5hrs), 3-bed (4hrs), 4-bed (5hrs), 5-bed (6hrs).

To borrow a term from economics, it’s lost opportunity cost
