Perhaps you are too busy with work or little kids that you barely have time to do house chores. If so, you should consider a cleaning service to keep your home in the best shape as you concentrate on other important activities. But what factors determine the pricing of a deep cleaning service?
Here is a closer look at some factors that dictate how much you pay for the service.
1. Size and Condition of Your House
In most cases, cleaning services charge based on your home's square footage and the number of rooms to clean. A bigger house takes more time to clean and utilizes more cleaning supplies (hence the higher cleaning costs). For instance, cleaners take longer to clean a five-bedroom house than a single-roomed house.
The cleaning company also considers your home's condition to determine the cleaning cost. The worse your home's condition is, the more personnel, time, and cleaning supplies it will take to get the job done.
For example, if you only give minimal cleaning to their house on weekends, chances are, you've got a house with a lot of dust buildup and clutter lying all around. In such a case, your cleaning experts take more time to clear the mess, which drives up the service cost. Also, you could pay more for add-ons, such as laundry or carpet cleaning.
2. Type and Frequency of Cleaning
Some clients opt for basic cleaning services such as mopping, dusting, and vacuuming. Consider this option if you only want to keep things tidy.
Occasionally, you may choose a deep cleaning service for a thorough professional touch. Deep cleaning attends to hard-to-access spots (such as ceiling fans or inside windows) — not forgetting the sections in the house that regular cleaning doesn't cover. Deep cleaning will also fit the bill if you have dust and grime built-up in your home.
Move-in or move-out cleaning services are also available. In this package, a house cleaning service will:
- Scrub your toilets and showers
- Thoroughly clean your kitchen appliances, cabinets, and windows.
- Vacuum and mop your floors
- Clean your baseboards
Most reputable house cleaning services will inspect your home to determine the cleaning service you need before they offer you an estimate.
The frequency of cleaning also influences the pricing. Surprisingly, you will pay less if you clean your property regularly than if you opt for a one-time service. For instance, if you pay for many cleaning visits upfront, the cleaning company might offer you a discount.
If you're looking for a residential deep cleaning company, be sure to contact a local provider.
