A cleaning price is easier to trust when you can see how it was built. The October 29, 2026 price list builds every Philadelphia house cleaning the same way: a base price for the tier, a line for bedrooms, a line for bathrooms and a line for the home's size band, then any add-ons, then the first-clean offer and $125 minimum, then sales tax at checkout. The cleaning chains' blogs we reviewed for this post publish no current prices at all. Ours are below, with the arithmetic.
This post builds the receipt for three example homes on all four tiers, shows the first-clean offer math, and lists what each of the 10 add-ons costs. For the wider factors behind cleaning prices, our guide to home cleaning costs in Philadelphia covers those.
How much a house cleaning costs in Philadelphia, per visit
For a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath rowhome in the Spacious band, Standard is $160 + $40 + $5 + $30 = $235 before discounts and tax. A one-time first clean is $211.50. Later visits are $199.75 weekly, $211.50 every 2 weeks or $223.25 every 4 weeks. Ongoing plan discounts are weekly 15%, every 2 weeks 10%, and every 4 weeks 5%; one-time has no cadence discount. The first clean receives a further 10% reduction, subject to the $125 minimum. Tax and optional tips are separate.

| Home (one-time visit) | Standard | Deep | Move-in / move-out | Dream Home |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed · 1 bath, Cozy band | $160 | $285 | $330 | $380 |
| 3 bed · 1.5 bath rowhome, Spacious band | $235 | $360 | $405 | $455 |
| 4 bed · 2.5 bath, Large band | $295 | $420 | $465 | $515 |
These figures come from the same pricing function and published catalog the booking form charges from. Our Philadelphia house cleaning cost page prices the same three homes live, each time the page loads. Both show prices before the first-cleaning offer, which is covered with the recurring plans below.
The receipt, line by line
Every receipt starts from the tier's base price and adds three lines for the home. Here is the arithmetic once, for the 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath rowhome in the Spacious band (up to 3,000 square feet on the booking form), booked as a one-time Standard clean:
- Standard base: $160
- 3 bedrooms: +$40
- 1.5 baths: +$5
- Spacious home: +$30
- Later visit: $235.00 before sales tax; first clean: $211.50
The bathroom line counts half baths, so adding a powder room moves a home from the 1 bath line (+$0) to the 1.5 baths line (+$5). The Cozy band, up to 2,500 square feet, adds $0 and prints no line at all, because the tier price already covers it. So if your rowhome is under 2,500 square feet, it sits in Cozy, and the same Standard receipt is $205.00.
The three home lines are the same dollars on every tier. Only the base changes, so moving any home from Standard to Deep adds $125, from Deep to Move-in / move-out adds $45, and from Move-in / move-out to Dream Home adds $50.
| Home | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Size band | Adds to any tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed · 1 bath | +$0 | +$0 | Cozy, +$0 | +$0 |
| 3 bed · 1.5 bath rowhome | +$40 | +$5 | Spacious, +$30 | +$75 |
| 4 bed · 2.5 bath | +$60 | +$15 | Large, +$60 | +$135 |
What each tier adds: 40, 51, 61 and 71 checklist items
The four tiers are a chain, Deep adding eleven extras and Move and Dream Home adding ten each. Standard is 40 items, 10 each for the entire house, the bathroom, the bedroom and the kitchen. Deep includes a spot-clean of baseboards and is "Standard plus 50% more cleaning time", with items such as "Deeply Scrub & Disinfect Bathtub / Showerhead" and "Wipe Down Major Appliances Exterior (2 Max)". Move-in / move-out is "Deep plus 100% more cleaning time", adding "Clean Inside of Refrigerator (must be clear)", "Clean Interior Windows (6 max)" and "Wipe baseboards throughout". Dream Home is "Move plus 150% more cleaning time", adding "Change Bedsheets (2 bedrooms included)" and "Laundry Wash & Dry (2 Loads)".
Our pricing page sets the four tiers side by side.
How a recurring plan changes the receipt
Ongoing cadence discounts are weekly 15%, every 2 weeks 10% and every 4 weeks 5%. The first-clean offer applies after that discount. Ongoing cadence discounts are weekly 15%, every 2 weeks 10% and every 4 weeks 5%. The first-clean offer applies after that discount. For the rowhome’s Standard clean:
| Plan | Plan discount | Per visit | First visit, with the first-cleaning offer |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-time | 0% | $235.00 | $211.50 |
| Every 4 weeks | 5% | $223.25 | $200.93 |
| Every 2 weeks | 10% | $211.50 | $190.35 |
| Weekly | 15% | $199.75 | $179.78 |
On a one-time visit, $235 × 0.90 = $211.50 before tax. On every-2-weeks visits, the cadence discount first makes it $211.50; the first-clean offer then makes visit one $190.35. The cost guide and checkout both preserve cents.
The first-visit column is lower because the first-clean offer takes 10% off once, on any plan, one-time included. The $125 minimum limits the saving on small homes. It does not apply again to later visits.
What the 10 add-ons cost
Ongoing plan discounts are weekly 15%, every 2 weeks 10%, and every 4 weeks 5%; one-time has no cadence discount. The first clean receives a further 10% reduction, subject to the $125 minimum. Tax and optional tips are separate.
| Add-on | Price | Adds about |
|---|---|---|
| Clean Inside Cabinets | $30 | 35 minutes |
| Clean Inside Fridge | $35 | 25 minutes |
| Clean Inside Oven | $35 | 30 minutes |
| Organize Clothes Clutter (30-mins) | $30 | 30 minutes |
| Laundry Wash & Dry (Per Load) | $20 | 60 minutes |
| Pet Shed Removal | $25 | 20 minutes |
| Clean Interior Windows (6 Max) | $60 | 35 minutes |
| Sweep Finished Basement | $35 | 20 minutes |
| Clean Finished Basement (30-mins) | $55 | 30 minutes |
| Wash Dishes | $25 | 15 minutes |
One comparison is worth running before you stack add-ons. A Deep clean of the rowhome with inside oven, inside fridge, inside cabinets, interior windows and the finished basement comes to $575: $360 plus $215 of add-ons. The Move-in / move-out tier already includes all five of those tasks, plus five more such as interior doors and baseboards wiped in full, for $405.00. Its fridge and cabinet items say "must be clear", meaning emptied first.
Everything else that can appear on the receipt
- A later every-2-weeks Standard visit for the rowhome is $211.50. Divide by your own cleaning hours: four hours gives $52.88 per hour, six gives $35.25, eight gives $26.44 and ten gives $21.15. Count the hours the visit would actually return to you.
- Ongoing plan discounts are weekly 15%, every 2 weeks 10%, and every 4 weeks 5%; one-time has no cadence discount. The first clean receives a further 10% reduction, subject to the $125 minimum. Tax and optional tips are separate.
- Sales tax. Added at checkout on the service line, including any arrival-window change.
- Tips. A tip for your cleaner is optional, on the payment step. If parking at your home is paid, the form also offers an optional tip toward the meter. Neither is taxed.
- Minimum. The catalog sets a $125 minimum for the service line before sales tax. Every home in this post is well above it.
There is no line for supplies or equipment. They come with the visit.
Questions about the price
Does the price include cleaning supplies?
Yes. Professional, eco-friendly products and equipment come with every visit, and there is nothing for you to stock. Plant-based, low-fragrance products and HEPA-filter equipment are the default, not an upsell. If you have a sensitivity or a preferred product, note it when you book.
Is a tip included in the price?
No, and none is expected. The price is complete on its own. The payment step has an optional tip card with Skip as the first choice. If you do tip, it goes entirely to your cleaner.
What if my home is bigger than these examples?
The same ladders keep going. Bedrooms run from a studio (+$0) to 8 or more (+$140), and bathrooms from 1 (+$0) to 8 (+$70), half baths included. Size bands are Cozy +$0, Spacious +$30, Large +$60 and Luxury +$90, and the largest band on the form covers homes up to 4,000 square feet. Every combination prices itself on the booking form before you pay.
Do first visits get the recurring discount?
There is one 10% first-clean offer. For this rowhome, the one-time first Standard visit is $211.50; later one-time visits are $235. Weekly later visits are $199.75, every-2-weeks visits $211.50 and every-4-weeks visits $223.25. The $125 minimum, tax and any chosen extras still apply.
What happens if I cancel?
Rescheduling follows the same notice rules as cancelling. Reschedule or cancel more than 48 hours ahead and there is no fee, and the authorization hold on your card is released. Between 24 and 48 hours, the fee is $75. Under 24 hours, it is 50% of the total original booking value, and if a cleaner arrives and can't get in, it is 100% of the booking. Same-day bookings: the full price is held on your card as soon as you book and charged when the clean is complete. Once a cleaner is assigned, cancelling costs 100% of the price. For the full order of events, from the saved card to the charge after the clean, see when your card is charged.
The booking form builds this same receipt as you answer it and shows the exact total before you pay. Start a booking to see yours.
