Cost questions
How much does house cleaning cost in Sherman Oaks and Los Angeles?
A one-time cleaning starts around $150 for a smaller home (under 1,600 sq ft, 2-person crew, 2-hour visit) and $225 for a larger home (3+ bed/bath or 1,600+ sq ft, 3-person crew). Recurring plans cost less per visit, and a travel fee is added by zone.
What makes a home "large" instead of "small" in your pricing?
A home is priced as large if it has 3 or more bedrooms, 3 or more bathrooms, or 1,600 or more square feet. Otherwise it is priced as small. Large homes get a 3-person crew instead of 2.
How much do I save with recurring service?
Recurring plans use lower hourly rates than a one-time visit. Monthly, bi-weekly, and weekly all cost less per hour than booking one time — see the exact rates in the hourly rate table below.
Is there a travel fee?
Yes, based on your zone. Zone one (Encino, Studio City, North Hollywood, Lake Balboa, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks) is the lowest at $5. Farther zones cost more; see the full table below.
Are there any other fees?
A $5 processing fee applies only to first-time cleanings paid by credit card. Cash and later visits do not carry this fee.
Do you charge an hourly rate or a flat package price?
Most visits book at a flat package price for 2, 3, or 4 hours, based on your home size and how often you book. If your visit runs outside those package hours, we bill the matching hourly rate instead — see the hourly rate table below.
How long does a typical house cleaning take?
A smaller home (under 1,600 sq ft, 2-person crew) is usually a 2-hour package. A larger home (3+ bed/bath or 1,600+ sq ft, 3-person crew) is usually a 3-hour package. Bigger homes or deep-clean add-ons can run 4 hours or more.
