Why a deep clean can cost more than the national average
Thumbtack’s $190 – $265 is a national average across all homes. A deep clean is priced by the hours, and the hours depend on the home. With MopQuote’s starting times, a 3 bed / 2 bath home takes one cleaner 6.25–7.25 hours: 1.75 times a standard clean, which takes 3.5–4.25 hours.
At $190 – $265, those hours pay $26 – $42 an hour, while US cleaners charge $40 – $55 an hour on average. Price the hours instead: your time times your rate. At $55 an hour, this home comes to $340 – $395.

Deep cleaning cost questions
How much does a deep cleaning cost?
Clients in the US pay $190 – $265 on average for a deep house cleaning, according to Thumbtack (checked September 30, 2026). Your home’s price depends on its size, its condition and the cleaner’s hourly rate: with MopQuote’s starting times, a 3 bed / 2 bath home at $55 an hour comes to $340 – $395.
How long does a deep clean take?
With MopQuote’s starting times, a deep clean takes 1.75 times as long as a standard clean: 6.25–7.25 hours for a 3 bed / 2 bath home and one cleaner. Two cleaners finish in about half the time. A dirty home takes about 25% longer, a very dirty one about 50%.
What’s the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?
A regular clean keeps a clean home clean: dusting, floors, the kitchen and the bathrooms. A deep clean also removes the buildup a regular clean skips, such as grime on baseboards, soap scum and grease. That’s why it takes longer and costs more. If the home hasn’t been cleaned by a pro in a while, start with a deep clean.
How much should I charge for a deep clean?
Multiply the hours by your hourly rate. With MopQuote’s starting times, a deep clean takes 1.75 times as long as a standard clean, so a 3 bed / 2 bath home at $55 an hour comes to $340 – $395, against $195 – $225 for a standard clean. Add for a dirty home and for extras. The calculator above does the math with your own rate and times.
Does a deep clean include the inside of the oven and the fridge?
It depends on the cleaner. In MopQuote’s calculator, a deep clean includes baseboards, and the inside of the oven, the fridge and the cabinets are extras; a move-in/out clean includes all four. Agree on the list before the visit.
