Most homes pay between $118 and $238 for a professional cleaning visit, with an average of $176, according to HomeAdvisor's cost survey updated in June 2026. Cleaning companies charge $25 to $80 an hour (about $50 on average); solo cleaners $12 to $25. A deep clean runs $200 to $400 or up to $0.25 per square foot, and a move-out clean up to $500. In Denver the number for your home depends on size, bathrooms, condition, pets and how often you book, which is why Furball Cleaning quotes every home individually and for free.

What does a standard house cleaning cost per visit?
HomeAdvisor's survey puts a normal range of $118 to $238 per visit and an average of $176, which is the range most Denver homeowners should expect for a standard clean: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, trash and mirrors. Where you land inside that range is almost entirely about the size of the home and the number of bathrooms, because bathrooms are where the time goes.
The same survey breaks pricing down by who does the work: cleaning companies charge $25 to $80 an hour (about $50 on average) and independent operators $12 to $25. The gap buys insurance, background checks, consistent crews and someone to call when something is wrong, which matters when the cleaner has a key to your house.
| Type of clean | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard clean | $118–$238 per visit (avg. $176) | Maintenance clean; bathrooms and kitchen drive the time |
| Hourly, cleaning company | $25–$80 per hour (avg. $50) | Insured, background-checked, consistent crews |
| Hourly, independent cleaner | $12–$25 per hour | Lower rate; verify insurance yourself |
| Deep clean | $200–$400, or up to $0.25/sq ft | Inside oven and fridge, grout, baseboards, behind appliances |
| Move-out clean | Up to $500, or up to $0.35/sq ft | Whole home empty, every cabinet and appliance |
Why does a deep clean cost more than a standard clean?
Time. A deep clean adds the inside of the oven, microwave and refrigerator, scrubbed grout, the floor behind and under the stove and fridge, baseboards, door frames, switches, sills, blinds, and the insides of cabinets and drawers to the standard checklist. Each of those is slow work. HomeAdvisor puts deep cleaning at $200 to $400 or up to $0.25 per square foot, roughly double a standard visit, and that ratio matches what the extra items take.
Most people only need one. A deep clean gets a home to a baseline, and a standard clean every two or four weeks keeps it there. Paying deep-clean prices every visit is usually a sign the schedule is too far apart.
What changes the price for a Denver home specifically?
Size, bathrooms and condition are the big three everywhere. In Denver a few local things nudge the quote: the semi-arid Front Range dusts surfaces faster than wetter cities, especially with the windows open half the year; the city's older bungalows and 1950s ranches have a lot of baseboard, trim and original tile; and a large share of households have dogs, which means hair on every floor and fabric. None of those is a surcharge, they just change how long the checklist takes.
Frequency cuts the other way. A home cleaned every two weeks never builds up, so each visit is faster and recurring clients get a recurring rate. One-time cleans of a home that has not been professionally cleaned in a year are the most expensive visit you will ever book with us, and the next one is cheaper.
- Square footage and layout (two stories and finished basements add time)
- Number of bathrooms, the slowest rooms in the house
- How long since the last professional clean
- Pets: hair, dander and the extra vacuuming they mean
- Extras: inside the oven or fridge, interior windows, laundry, the garage
- Frequency: weekly, every other week, monthly or one time
How do I get an honest cleaning quote?
Give the cleaner what they need to quote accurately: bedrooms, bathrooms, rough square footage, pets, when it was last cleaned and what you want done. A quote based on that information should hold unless the home turns out very different from what you described, and a good company will tell you before continuing, not after. Ask what the checklist is; if there is no written list, you are buying a guess.
At Furball Cleaning every quote is free and comes with a time estimate. We do not publish a price table because a 900 square foot condo and a 3,000 square foot house with three bathrooms and two dogs are not the same afternoon, and we would rather give you the right number than a starting-at number.
From Marina
The question I get most on the phone is some version of "what do you charge?" and the honest answer is "tell me about the place." Once I know the bedrooms, bathrooms, pets and how long it has been, I can give a real number, not a range. The survey figures above are national; they are a fair sanity check, not my price list.
What I can promise is that the number does not move once we have agreed on it, that recurring visits cost less than one-time ones because the home stays maintained, and that if anything is not right you tell me within 24 hours and I fix it at no charge. Call or text (720) 985-4648 or send the form and you will have a quote the same day most days.

Frequently asked questions
How much does house cleaning cost in Denver per visit?
Nationally, HomeAdvisor's June 2026 survey puts a standard cleaning visit at $118 to $238, with an average of $176. For a specific Denver home the price depends on size, bathrooms, condition, pets and frequency. Furball Cleaning quotes each home individually and the quote is free: call or text (720) 985-4648.
How much is a deep clean compared to a regular clean?
Roughly double. HomeAdvisor puts deep cleaning at $200 to $400 per visit or up to $0.25 per square foot, against $118 to $238 for a standard visit, because a deep clean adds the inside of the oven and fridge, grout, baseboards, blinds and the backs of appliances. Most homes need one deep clean, then standard cleans.
Is recurring cleaning cheaper per visit?
Yes. A home cleaned every one, two or four weeks never builds up, so each visit takes less time, and Furball Cleaning quotes recurring visits at a recurring rate. There is no contract; you can skip or cancel anytime.
Do I pay extra for evenings or weekends?
Not with Furball Cleaning. We are available any day, any hour, and early mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays cost the same as a weekday afternoon.
Does the quote change after you see the house?
Only if the home is materially different from what was described, and we tell you before continuing. Give accurate bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, pets and how long since the last clean, and the number holds.
