The bathrooms effect

Bathrooms drive cost more than bedrooms. A 3 bedroom home with 2 bathrooms sits around $140–$210. Add another bathroom and it moves to around $165–$245.

House vs apartment

For the same number of bedrooms, an apartment is usually a little quicker to clean than a house — less floor area and often fewer living spaces. Building access, lifts and parking can offset some of that saving.

What's normally included

  • Kitchen clean — benches, stovetop, sink, exterior of appliances
  • Two bathrooms and toilets cleaned
  • Three bedrooms dusted and vacuumed
  • Living, dining and hallway floors cleaned

Two bathrooms add noticeably more time than the third bedroom does.

A deep clean of a 3-bedroom home takes roughly 1.5–2× a regular clean.

End-of-lease cleans are priced to an inspection standard and cost more.
