House cleaning price list template
Cleaning businesses publish prices one of two ways. MagiClean in Seattle prices by the cleaner-hour, $75 for deep and move-out work, with recurring visits from $150; Kleen-It Maids in Dallas prices by home size and how often you come (both checked October 2026). Either way, each row on your sheet needs the unit, what that clean includes, your minimum, and which jobs you price only after seeing the home.

| Published service | Price | Scope | Source and date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly cleaning; US guide | $25–$75 per cleaner-hour | Rate is per worker, not per team. | HomeGuide: house cleaning prices · Checked |

HomeGuide’s figures are national ranges, checked October 2026. Its hourly rate is per cleaner, so a two-person team on site for three hours bills six cleaner-hours.
How should a cleaning price list show home sizes?
By bedrooms and bathrooms, because customers know those and rarely know their square footage. Give each size a regular, deep and move-out price, with a square-foot cap so a small three-bedroom and a large one don’t share a row. Bathrooms move the time more than bedrooms do, so price an extra bathroom as its own step instead of folding it into the next bedroom count.
Should you publish cleaning prices or quote every home?
Publish regular and recurring prices, where homes of the same size take similar time; that’s what people compare before they call. Keep deep, move-out and post-construction cleans as “From” prices, or quote them after a walkthrough or photos, because condition varies far more than size. A published regular price also screens out customers whose budget is far from yours before you spend time on a walkthrough.
The risk of a published price is the customer who reads “three bedrooms from $160” and books a home that hasn’t seen a cleaner in a long time. Add one line under the grid: “First visits are quoted as a deep clean unless the home is already on a regular schedule.” That line settles the argument before the cleaner is standing in the kitchen.
How do you list add-ons and recurring prices?
Give add-ons their own rows with a flat price each: inside the oven, inside the fridge, inside cabinets, interior windows, a load of laundry. Then check that no package already includes them, or you’ll charge twice. Put recurring prices in columns beside the one-time price so the saving is visible at a glance; Kleen-It Maids lays its Dallas prices out this way, one-time and biweekly side by side for each home size.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I update my cleaning price list?
Whenever your costs move, your calendar is booked further ahead than customers want to wait, or your timed visits keep running past what you priced. Put a date on the sheet so a customer holding an old copy can see it changed. A schedule with no open slots is the clearest sign your prices are low.
Should I charge less if the customer supplies the products?
Only by the supply cost you actually avoid, which is small next to labor and travel; the cleaner’s time and the drive don’t change. If you allow it, put it on the sheet as a condition and check the products suit the surfaces, because you’re the one who answers for a streaked stone countertop.
Should the price list mention lockouts and late cancellations?
Yes, in one line, because each one costs you a slot you can’t refill that day. State the notice you need to reschedule without a charge and what you bill when nobody can let the cleaner in. Use the same wording on every sheet and quote so it reads as policy, not a penalty aimed at one customer.
