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.
