What actually moves the price
- Size of the home. Every extra bedroom adds roughly half an hour, every extra bathroom about the same.
- How long since the last clean. A first clean on a lived-in home takes longer than weekly upkeep.
- Type of clean. Deep and move-out cleans include detail work that a standard clean skips.
- Pets and clutter. Pet hair and surfaces that need clearing first both add time.
- How often you book. Weekly and fortnightly cleans get quicker over time, so they cost less per visit.
- Travel. Cleaners who set a wide travel radius can take jobs further out without a surcharge.
