A standard clean runs $120 to $312 for a studio up to 3 bedrooms. That is before add-ons or a deep clean.<\/p>\n<p>Many cleaning companies quote by phone and post no prices. Two that do post a real price list are Sophia&#8217;s Cleaning Service and Sparkly Maid Chicago. Every number on this page comes from those two lists or from the BLS.<\/p>\n<h2>What moves the price of a cleaning service<\/h2>\n<p>Four things move the number. Here they are, one at a time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Home size.<\/strong> More rooms means more hours. A 4 bedroom or larger home runs $280 to $450 and up at Sparkly Maid.<\/li>\n<li><strong>First visit or recurring.<\/strong> The first visit costs more. After that, Sophia&#8217;s takes 15 percent off weekly, 10 percent off biweekly and 5 percent off monthly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deep clean or move out.<\/strong> These take longer, so they cost more. Sparkly Maid starts a deep clean at $180 to $250 for a small apartment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add-ons.<\/strong> Each one is its own line. Interior windows run $40 to $75 at Sparkly Maid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cleaning prices by home size<\/h2>\n<p>This is Sparkly Maid Chicago&#8217;s posted price for a standard clean. It is what the company bills, not what a cleaner earns.<\/p>\n<table class=\"pm__table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Home size<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Standard clean<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Studio or 1 bedroom<\/td>\n<td>$120 to $160<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 bedroom<\/td>\n<td>$160 to $220<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3 bedroom<\/td>\n<td>$220 to $300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4 bedroom or larger<\/td>\n<td>$280 to $450 and up<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Sophia&#8217;s prices the first visit instead, so it runs higher. A studio or 1 bedroom starts at $192 to $240 there.<\/p>\n<h2>What do cleaners charge per hour?<\/h2>\n<p>$40 to $60 per cleaner per hour. That is Sparkly Maid Chicago&#8217;s posted rate. Sophia&#8217;s price list works out to about $52 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>A cleaner earns far less. Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners earn a $17.83 mean hourly wage nationally, per the BLS (May 2025).<\/p>\n<p>The gap is not pure profit. It pays for supplies, insurance, drive time and scheduling. Do not undercut it before you run that math for your own market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pm__inline-cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swcostestimator.app.link\/ce-ai\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Turn a photo into an itemized cleaning estimate, free &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How much more is a deep clean or move out?<\/h2>\n<p>$400 to $600 and up for a larger home. That is Sparkly Maid&#8217;s deep clean price. A small apartment runs $180 to $250.<\/p>\n<p>Move out cleaning runs close behind. It reaches $450 to $600 and up for 4 bedrooms or larger.<\/p>\n<p>Sophia&#8217;s does not post separate deep clean or move out prices. Its site says a deep clean takes longer than a standard visit, so it costs more, and it prices a move out as a deep clean.<\/p>\n<h2>Add-ons to price on their own line<\/h2>\n<p>Only Sparkly Maid posts add-on prices, so treat these as one company&#8217;s menu.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inside fridge: $25 to $35.<\/li>\n<li>Inside oven: $30 to $45.<\/li>\n<li>Interior windows: $40 to $75.<\/li>\n<li>Wall washing: $60 to $150.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to price a cleaning job so it holds margin<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"pm__steps\">\n<li>\n<h3>Set a base rate by size, not a guess<\/h3>\n<p>Use the size table above as your floor and ceiling.
