How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in Orange County?

A standard 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Orange County runs $164 to $205 for a single recurring-style house cleaning, depending on how often you book, and $308 for a full deep clean of the same home. Add a bedroom or a bathroom and the price moves in fixed, predictable steps, not a number pulled out of thin air on the phone.

Below is the full breakdown: the exact formula behind every quote on this site, a price for each of the 11 services we offer, what frequency discounts actually save over a year, every add-on cost, and separate pricing for upholstery and mattress cleaning, which work nothing like the rest of this list. Every number here traces back to the same pricing data that runs our instant quote tool, so it matches what you will see if you get a quote yourself.

How the price is actually calculated

Every quote on this site starts from three fixed numbers: a $60 base rate, $25 per bedroom, and $35 per bathroom. Add those together and you have what we call the room subtotal, the cost of a standard recurring clean for that home, booked once, with no add-ons. Every other service on this site starts from that same room subtotal and multiplies it up based on how much more work the job involves, which is covered in the next section.

Here is the room subtotal for four different home sizes:

A few things worth noticing in that table. Bathrooms cost more per unit than bedrooms ($35 versus $25), because bathrooms take longer to clean properly, tile, grout, and fixtures are more labor-intensive than dusting a bedroom. And the base rate never disappears: even a small 1-bed, 1-bath condo carries the full $60 base, because a crew still has to drive out, set up, and cover the kitchen and common areas regardless of how many bedrooms exist.

The instant quote calculator on the pricing page uses bedroom and bathroom counts, not raw square footage, to figure your size. That is a deliberate shortcut: two 3-bed, 2-bath homes usually fall in a similar size range even if one is 1,400 square feet and the other is 1,900, so counting rooms gets you a fast, consistent number without asking you to know your exact square footage off the top of your head.

Cost by service

The room subtotal above is only the starting point. Seven of our services (the ones priced by home size) apply a multiplier on top of that subtotal, based on how much more ground the crew has to cover. Here is that multiplier for a 3-bed, 2-bath home, so you can compare all seven side by side:

Four services on this site don’t fit that formula at all: office cleaning and window cleaning are quoted by the job rather than by bedroom count, and upholstery and mattress cleaning are priced per item. Here is what drives each of the 11 services up or down.

Recurring Cleaning

This is the baseline: a 1.0x multiplier, meaning the room subtotal is the price. A 3-bed, 2-bath home is $205 for a single visit, before any frequency discount is applied. What moves the price: your home’s square footage (reflected through bedroom and bathroom count), how often you book, the number of bathrooms specifically, and any add-ons you select. Recurring cleaning is the only service where frequency discounts apply automatically in the quote tool, since it’s the plan most people repeat.

Deep Cleaning

A 1.5x multiplier on the room subtotal. A 3-bed, 2-bath home runs $205 x 1.5 = $307.50, which rounds to $308. What drives the price: home square footage, number of bathrooms, how long it has been since the last deep clean, and whether pets are in the home (a home that has never been deep cleaned, or has pets shedding into carpets and vents, takes longer than a home on a regular deep-clean schedule). Deep cleaning covers baseboards, inside the oven and fridge, grout, vents, and cabinet fronts, work a standard recurring visit skips.

Move-In Cleaning

Also a 1.5x multiplier, so it lands at the same $308 for a 3-bed, 2-bath home as deep cleaning. What drives the price: square footage, bathroom count, whether the home is empty or lightly furnished, and how much flexibility you have on the move-in date. An empty home is faster to clean than one with furniture already in place, since nothing has to be worked around.

Move-Out Cleaning

A 1.6x multiplier, slightly higher than deep or move-in cleaning. A 3-bed, 2-bath home is $205 x 1.6 = $328. What drives the price: square footage, bathroom count, whether the home is empty or still furnished at the time of the clean, and the condition at handover. A move-out clean is built around what landlords and property managers actually check at inspection, cabinets, appliance interiors, baseboards, so a home in rougher condition takes more time than one that has been kept up.

Post-Construction Cleaning

The highest multiplier on the site at 1.8x. A 3-bed, 2-bath home is $205 x 1.8 = $369. What drives the price: square footage, the scope of the renovation, how much fine dust and debris is present, and how many phases you need cleaned (rough, final, or touch-up). Construction dust settles into every surface and takes real time to remove properly, which is why this service costs more than a standard deep clean of the same size home.

Airbnb & Vacation Rental Cleaning

A 1.1x multiplier, only slightly above a standard recurring clean, since a turnover is closer to a maintenance visit than a full reset. A more realistic vacation-rental size, a 2-bed, 1-bath unit, has a room subtotal of $145, so the turnover price is $145 x 1.1 = $159.50, rounding to $160. What drives the price: unit size, how often turnovers happen, whether you want linen service included, and how much restocking the crew handles.

Special Event Cleaning

A 1.3x multiplier. A 3-bed, 2-bath home is $205 x 1.3 = $266.50, rounding to $267. What drives the price: home square footage, guest count, and whether you book a pre-event visit, a post-event reset, or both (booking both is priced as two visits, not one combined multiplier). Timing also matters: early-morning or late-evening slots around your event are available but should be requested when you book.

Office & Commercial Cleaning

Office cleaning does not use the bedroom and bathroom formula at all, since commercial spaces aren’t measured in bedrooms. It is quoted individually based on square footage, cleaning frequency, number of restrooms, and whether you need after-hours scheduling. If you run a small office, suite, or retail space, request a quote for office cleaning directly and you’ll get a number back based on your actual space, not a home-size estimate.

Window Cleaning

Window cleaning also sits outside the bedroom and bathroom formula. As a standalone service, it is priced by the job: number of windows, how many stories, whether you want interior only or interior plus exterior, and whether tracks and screens are included. There is no fixed per-window rate published, so request a quote for window cleaning with your window count for an exact number. If you would rather add windows to a recurring or deep clean instead of booking it separately, that is a flat $40 add-on, covered in the add-ons section below.

Upholstery & Leather Cleaning

Upholstery is priced per item, not by home size, so it does not fit the multiplier table above at all. A 3-seat sofa alone runs $105. What drives the price: how many pieces of furniture you need cleaned, how many area rugs and their size, how many carpeted rooms, and whether any pieces are fabric or leather (leather adds 50%). The full breakdown with worked examples is below, since the pricing model is different enough to deserve its own section.

Mattress Cleaning

Mattress cleaning is priced by size, not by home or by multiplier: $55 for a twin, $65 for a full, $75 for a queen, $95 for a king. What drives the price: mattress size, how many mattresses you’re cleaning in the same visit, how severe any staining or odor is, and whether you add pet-odor or stain-protection treatment. Also covered in full below.

Cost by frequency

Frequency discounts apply to the room subtotal plus the service multiplier, and they stack automatically the moment you pick a frequency in the quote tool. Using the 3-bed, 2-bath recurring cleaning example ($205 for a one-time visit), here is what each frequency actually costs per visit and per year:

Biweekly is a popular middle ground for Orange County households, since it keeps a home consistently clean without the higher annual total that weekly service adds up to. Monthly costs the least per year in total dollars spent, but it also means the home goes four weeks between visits, so it suits households that keep up with day-to-day tidying between cleans rather than relying on the crew to catch everything.

One thing worth flagging directly: the percentage discount is bigger for weekly service, but the annual total is still the highest of the three, because you are paying for far more visits. Choosing a frequency is really a question of how much upkeep you want between visits, not just which discount percentage looks best on paper.

Add-ons and what they cost

Add-ons are flat dollar amounts on top of whatever service and frequency you’ve selected, and none of them are included by default in a standard recurring or deep clean unless you add them.

A few notes on how these work in practice. Inside-appliance add-ons (fridge, oven, cabinets) are already included by default in deep cleaning, move-in cleaning, and move-out cleaning, since those services cover appliance interiors as part of the base scope, so you generally only need to add them separately to a standard recurring clean. Baseboards work the same way: included in deep and move-out cleans, an optional add-on for recurring visits. Multiple add-ons stack, so selecting fridge, oven, and pet hair together on a recurring clean adds $35 + $35 + $25 = $95 on top of the room subtotal before any frequency discount is applied.

Upholstery and mattress cleaning cost differently

Everything above uses a bedroom-and-bathroom formula. Upholstery, carpet, and mattress cleaning don’t, because a couch does not get bigger just because the room around it does. These two services are priced per item instead, so the quote is tied to the actual pieces you need cleaned, not your home’s size.

Furniture and carpet pricing:

Leather and leather-blend pieces carry a 50% surcharge over the fabric price, since leather needs different products and conditioning that fabric doesn’t. A leather armchair that would be $45 in fabric comes out to $67.50 in leather.

Mattress pricing:

Add-ons for both: pet odor treatment is $40, and stain protection is $25, priced separately from the base item cost.

Three worked examples:

A fabric living room, no leather. A 3-seat sofa (3 x $35 = $105), one armchair ($45), and two dining chairs (2 x $18 = $36) comes to $186 total. This is a realistic scope for a family room plus dining nook, and every piece is billed individually, so adding or dropping a chair changes the total by exactly $18.

A leather sectional. A 6-seat leather sectional is priced as 6 sofa seats: 6 x $35 = $210 in fabric pricing, then the 50% leather surcharge applies: $210 x 1.5 = $315. Leather sectionals are one of the more expensive single-item jobs on this list, since both the seat count and the leather surcharge stack.

Two mattresses plus pet odor treatment. A queen mattress ($75) and a twin mattress ($55) cleaned in the same visit comes to $130, plus pet-odor treatment on one of them ($40), for a total of $170. Booking multiple mattresses or furniture items in one visit means you only pay for one setup and drive time, so it costs less than scheduling separate appointments for each.

What makes Orange County pricing different

Honestly, not much about the formula itself. The $60 base, $25 per bedroom, and $35 per bathroom apply the same way whether you’re in Irvine, Santa Ana, or San Clemente. There is no city surcharge built into the pricing model: a 3-bed, 2-bath home costs the same $205 recurring-clean subtotal no matter which of the Orange County cities we serve it’s in.

What actually varies by city is availability and scheduling, not price. We currently publish full pricing pages for 16 Orange County cities, running from coastal cities like Newport Beach and Laguna Beach to inland cities like Yorba Linda and Fullerton, and same-day or next-day appointments depend on which local crew has openings in your specific city that week, not on your address changing the formula. If you’re comparing quotes across companies and one is charging you more just because of your zip code, that’s a decision specific to that company, not something built into how cleaning work itself costs more or less across a roughly 30-mile radius.

How to get the most accurate price

Every number in this article is a worked example using round bedroom and bathroom counts. Your actual home might have a bonus room, an extra half-bath, or a combination this article didn’t cover, so the fastest way to get your real number is the instant quote tool on the pricing page or on any individual service page. Pick your city, your bedroom and bathroom count, your service, your frequency, and any add-ons, and the price updates in front of you before you book anything.

New customers currently get $39 off their first booking, applied automatically in the quote total, on any service. That $39 credit is capped at 90% of your total, so it always functions as a real discount on a real clean rather than a way to book something for close to free. On a $308 deep clean, for example, the full $39 applies and brings the total to $269.

Frequently asked questions

How is my home’s size measured for a quote? By bedroom and bathroom count, not by pulling your square footage from a listing. You pick the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the calculator, and that’s what determines your room subtotal.

Is the price I see online the final price? Yes. The quote is confirmed before you book, and nothing is added at checkout. If your home turns out to have more rooms or a different layout than what you entered, that gets confirmed with you directly rather than added as a surprise charge afterward.

Are there any hidden fees? No. Every line item, base cleaning, bedrooms, bathrooms, service scope, add-ons, frequency discount, is shown itemized in the quote before you book. If you didn’t select an add-on, it isn’t included and isn’t charged.

How do add-ons change my total? Each add-on is a flat dollar amount added on top of your room subtotal and service multiplier, before the frequency discount is applied. Selecting fridge ($35) and oven ($35) on a recurring clean adds $70 to your subtotal, and that combined total is what any frequency discount is calculated from.

Do I have to pay a deposit before the crew arrives? No. Every booking uses a card on file that is charged after your cleaning is complete, not before. No upfront payment or deposit is required to schedule a visit.

What if my home has more bedrooms or bathrooms than the calculator shows? The instant quote tool covers up to 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. For anything larger, the same formula still applies, it just needs to be quoted directly, so contact us with your room count for an exact number.

Does the price change if I have pets? Not automatically through a pet toggle. Pets in the home is listed as a factor specifically for deep cleaning, since pet hair and dander can add time to the job, but there’s no separate pet fee built into the base formula. If pet hair is a significant factor in your home, add the $25 pet hair add-on so the crew plans for it.

Why is a deep clean more expensive than recurring cleaning for the same home? Because it’s 1.5x the room subtotal instead of 1.0x. A deep clean covers baseboards, inside the oven and fridge, grout, vents, and cabinet fronts, all work a standard recurring visit skips, so the multiplier reflects that extra scope.

Why is post-construction cleaning the most expensive service? It carries the highest multiplier on the site, 1.8x, because construction dust settles into every surface, vent, and fixture and takes real time and specialized attention to remove properly, more than any other service category we offer.

Does the price change by Orange County city? No. The pricing formula is identical across every city we serve. What changes by city is scheduling availability, not the price itself.

How does the new customer offer work? New customers get $39 off their first booking, applied automatically in the quote total on any service. It’s capped at 90% of your total so it always acts as a discount, never a way to get a clean for close to free.

Can I combine the new customer offer with a frequency discount? Yes. The frequency discount is applied first to your service total, and then the $39 new-customer credit is applied to what’s left, so both apply to the same booking.

Why are upholstery and mattress cleaning priced differently from house cleaning? Because furniture size doesn’t scale with your home’s size. A sofa in a small condo costs the same to clean as the same sofa in a large house, so pricing by item keeps the quote tied to the actual pieces being cleaned instead of your bedroom count.

Is there a minimum price for booking? There’s no stated minimum. For house-formula services, the $60 base rate applies to any job regardless of size. For item-based services, you only pay for the specific pieces you book, a single dining chair is $18 with nothing else required.

Can I change my cleaning frequency after I book? Yes. You can switch between weekly, biweekly, and monthly at any time, and your price updates automatically to match the new frequency discount on your next visit.
