How much does house cleaning cost in Philadelphia?

If you've ever tried to get a straight answer on what a house cleaning costs, you know how frustrating it can be. Many companies won't give a number until after a phone call or an in-home visit. We think you should know the price up front, so here's how pricing works in the Philadelphia area and what actually changes it.

What a standard clean costs

A standard clean is regular upkeep for a lived-in home: kitchen counters and appliance fronts, bathrooms, dusting, floors and a general reset of every room. At Oakbright, a standard clean starts at:

• Studio or 1 bedroom: $145
• 2 bedrooms, 1 bath: $165
• 3 bedrooms, 2 baths: $215
• Each extra bathroom: +$25

What a deep clean or move-out clean costs

A deep clean takes longer because it covers the things a standard clean skips: baseboards, doors and trim, inside the oven and fridge, and built-up grime in kitchens and bathrooms. For a 2-bedroom home, a deep clean starts around $250.

Move-in and move-out cleans start at $290. The home is usually empty, so the cleaner goes top to bottom, including inside cabinets, drawers and closets.

What changes the price

• Size of the home. More bedrooms and bathrooms means more time. Bathrooms take the longest, which is why each extra one adds to the price.
• Type of clean. A first visit is often a deep clean, because it resets the home. After that, regular standard cleans keep it there.
• How often you book. Recurring cleans cost less per visit because the home never gets far behind. We take 15% off weekly cleans, 10% off every 2 weeks and 5% off monthly.
• Condition and extras. Heavy buildup, lots of pet hair or extras like the inside of a fridge on a standard clean can add time.

Is it worth it?

A 2-bedroom home cleaned every two weeks works out to about $150 a visit. For most people, that buys back three or four hours every other weekend. Whether that's worth it is up to you.
