Free Cleaning Cost Calculator — 2026 Rates by State

Standard house cleaning prices vary significantly by state. Using BLS OEWS 2024 wage data, a 2-bed/2-bath standard clean ranges from about $95 in the lowest-wage states (Mississippi, West Virginia) to $235 in the highest (New York, California). A 3-bed/2-bath typically runs $130–$330 across the country. Deep cleans add 50% on top, move-outs add 75%, post-construction can double the price. Pick your state below for a precise estimate.

A standard clean covers routine maintenance: surfaces, floors, kitchens, bathrooms, and dusting. A deep clean goes further — inside appliances, baseboards, blinds, detailed grout work, and neglected areas. Most cleaners charge a 50% multiplier for deep cleans because they take roughly 1.5× the labor time.

Move-out cleans are priced at roughly 1.75× a standard clean because they include the deep-clean checklist plus empty-cabinet interiors, inside ovens and fridges, walls, and every surface the landlord will inspect. For a 3-bed / 2-bath, expect $300–$600 depending on state and square footage.

Time-on-site scales with floor area, so most cleaners add a per-square-foot rate on top of a flat base fee. Based on BLS OEWS 2024 wages, typical US state defaults range from $0.12/sqft in value-tier markets to $0.24/sqft in the highest-wage states. A 1,200 sqft home and a 2,500 sqft home with the same room counts can legitimately differ by $150+ in labor.

Airbnb turnovers are typically priced at 1.15–1.25× a standard clean because of the added linen change, restocking, and tight turnaround window. Most hosts pay $65–$150 per turnover. Cleaners who specialize in short-term rentals often charge a flat per-turn rate that includes linens.

Most professional cleaners add a $20–$35 pet surcharge when pets live in the home. It covers the extra vacuuming for shed hair, lint rolling upholstery, and accounting for more frequent wear on equipment. One-time deep cleans with heavy pet dander may add more.
