Typical ranges from published prices and review-quoted jobs we researched in November 2026 — not quotes. Your matched pro sets the real price.
Some specifics behind those ranges:
- Apartments: one company publishes about $130 for a one-bedroom and $150 for a two-bedroom recurring clean; another lists $130–$170 weekly and $170–$210 monthly.
- Houses: published starting prices run from about $140 to $150 per visit, with typical recurring quotes of $150–$250 and larger homes up to about $360. One company's online calculator showed $140–$220 for East Hanover and $160–$280 for Montville.

What makes the price go up or down
- Size. Bedrooms and especially bathrooms drive time.
- Condition. How long since the last professional clean matters more than people expect.
- Frequency. Weekly visits cost less each time than monthly ones, because the home never gets far behind.
- Type of clean. Deep and move-out cleans include inside appliances, cabinets, and baseboards — that's hours of extra work. See Deep vs standard clean.
- Pets. Shedding dogs and cats add vacuuming time.
- Extras. Interior windows, blinds, basements, laundry, and inside the dishwasher.
- Timing. Rush service (same or next day) can carry a fee — $50 at one local company.
Hourly vs flat pricing
Independent cleaners listed on Care.com for East Hanover and Rockaway showed about $20–$35 per hour. A three-hour clean at $30 an hour is $90 — cheaper than most company prices, but you're usually hiring one person, and you'll need to sort out supplies, backup coverage, and scheduling yourself. Companies charge more but usually bring a team, supplies, and scheduling. Our comparison Independent vs company goes deeper.
The most common billing complaint we read wasn't the price itself — it was surprise: card holds placed days before a clean, being charged before authorizing it, or an hourly bill far higher than expected. Always ask how and when you'll be charged.
How to get an accurate price fast
Many companies want an in-home walkthrough before quoting. Faster option: send four photos — kitchen, worst bathroom, main living area, and anything extra — along with your bedrooms, bathrooms, and the checklist you want. A pro can usually give a real range from that.
That's how our free matching works: tell our assistant about your home, add photos, and we'll match you with a local pro who sends you a quote. You book and pay the pro directly.

Frequently asked questions
Is house cleaning cheaper per hour or per visit?
Independent cleaners on Care.com in the area listed roughly $20–$35 per hour, while most companies charge a flat per-visit price. Hourly can be cheaper for small homes but harder to budget; flat pricing is easier to compare.
Why do two cleaners quote such different prices for the same house?
They may be quoting different scopes (standard vs deep), different time on site, or one may be guessing without seeing the home. Sharing photos and a written checklist makes quotes comparable.
Are there extra fees I should ask about?
Yes. Fees we found locally include a $50 rush fee for same- or next-day service, a $100 travel fee outside a company's county, and a $30 first-time supply fee. Ask about fees and when your card is charged before booking.
Is the first clean more expensive?
Often. If the home hasn't been professionally cleaned recently, many pros require or recommend a deep clean first, then switch to lower recurring prices.
