By cleaning yourself, you’ll only need to pay for supplies, which might range $20 to $70 per month in the average household. That said, hiring a local cleaner has many benefits.

Here’s why you might consider hiring a professional cleaner:

  • Saves time and effort

  • Gives you professional quality results tailored to your needs

  • Reduces allergens and bacteria

  • Professional-grade supplies and techniques

  • Great for special occasions and move-ins

  • Stress reduction 

How to Save Money on House Cleaning Costs

Keeping a clean house on the cheap doesn’t have to be difficult. Here are some ways to save money on your overall house cleaning costs.

  • Share the load: You can save on the cost of cleaning services, which average $175, by only paying for professional cleaning once per month or every other month. Alternatively, you can do the dirty work yourself. 

  • Reconsider add-ons. You can skip common add-ons like window cleaning ($4 to $10 per window) or laundry ($5–$20 per load), opting to do these tasks yourself instead. 

  • Buy refillable products: For the home cleaning products you need on hand, opt for refillable and bulk options, which can cut costs and reduce plastic waste.

  • Clean as you go: While there’s nothing quite like the feeling of a freshly deep-cleaned house, taking on little cleanups as they come up will keep things tidier overall—which translates to less time and money spent on big, deep-cleaning projects.

  • Book in bulk. Some home cleaning services offer significant discounts for homeowners who book recurring cleaning services. For example, weekly cleanings might come with a 20% discount.

Next Steps
  • You might hire a house cleaner to save time, labor, and stress. 

  • If you want to cut costs, consider paying for professional cleaning occasionally (like once per month) or for special occasions.

  • Keep in mind that some home cleaning services offer discounts for homeowners who book recurring services.

  • Your cost will increase based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and any additional services you select.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether or not a cleaner brings supplies also depends on their preference. Some cleaning services require the homeowner to supply cleaning products and a few basic materials (sponges, paper towels, rags, a mop, and vacuum, for example), but others bring everything they need to get in, clean, and get out.

You can always ask whether or not they bring their cleaning supplies, and if so, make sure you’re comfortable with what they use. If you prefer organic or natural products, for example, you may need to supply them or pay a premium.

If your house cleaner is doing a standard cleaning, you can expect this project to take between one and three hours, depending on the size of your home. If you are looking for a deeper clean, your house cleaning service might last between two and five hours. For a move-out clean, anywhere from two to three hours is standard.

It’s customary to tip an individual cleaner between 10% and 20% of the cost of cleaning. However, if you hire a group of cleaners or hire from a company that dispatches employees as a team, check the company website for information on tipping. Leave your tip in a prominent place with a note so your cleaners will notice it.
