What affects the price of a house cleaning?
| Price factor | Why it matters | Effect on cost |
|---|---|---|
| Home size (sq ft, bedrooms, bathrooms) | More rooms and bathrooms mean more time | Biggest driver; Angi cites $0.10–$0.20 per sq ft for standard cleans |
| Type of clean | Deep and move-out cleans cover far more | Deep up to ~$0.25/sq ft, move-out up to ~$0.35/sq ft (Angi) |
| Condition of the home | Buildup, soap scum, and mildew take longer | Higher for a first visit or a long gap |
| Frequency | Recurring homes stay easier to clean | Weekly or biweekly visits often cost less per visit |
| Extras | Inside the fridge and stove, windows, carpets | Added to the base price |
| Empty vs. furnished | Empty homes are faster to work through | Move-outs price by scope, not furniture |
Florida adds its own wrinkle: humidity keeps bathrooms damp, so bathroom tile grout and shower corners can need more time if they have gone a while between cleanings.
What’s included in the price, and what costs extra?
With Sunrise, a standard clean includes kitchens, bathrooms, dusting, floors, and inside appliances on every visit, except the fridge and stove, which are extras you can add. We go by a checklist so nothing is left undone or behind.
A deep clean adds the buildup work: baseboards, vents, fans, tracks, and bathroom tile grout.
A move-out clean is built for an empty home and a landlord walkthrough. We pull out the fridge, stove, and washer/dryer to clean behind and around them. See our move-out cleaning checklist for Tampa for the full picture, and deep clean vs. standard clean if you are not sure which one you need.
Is a recurring cleaning cheaper than a one-time clean?
Usually, per visit, yes. Thumbtack notes that companies often charge less per cleaning when you book more visits per month, and may charge more for a first or one-time visit (Thumbtack Tampa). A home that is cleaned every week or two never builds up the grime a one-time clean has to tackle.
A common plan is one deep clean to reset the home, then weekly or biweekly standard visits.

FAQ
How much does house cleaning cost per hour?
Thumbtack lists the national average at $25 to $50 per hour, per cleaner. Many companies, including most in Tampa, quote a flat price by home size and service type instead of billing by the hour.
How much does a deep clean cost compared to a standard clean?
Published guides put a deep clean at about $200 to $400 (HomeAdvisor) versus about $118 to $238 for a typical standard visit (Angi). A deep clean takes longer because it targets buildup in baseboards, vents, and bathroom tile grout.
How much is a move-out cleaning in Tampa?
Masters’ Guild lists Tampa-area move-out cleans at about $110 to $250 for a studio or one-bedroom, $180 to $350 for a two-bedroom apartment, and $300 to $550 for a three-bedroom house. Condition and extras change the total.
Is inside the fridge and stove included in a standard clean?
With Sunrise, inside appliances are cleaned on every standard visit, except the fridge and stove, which are extras. On move-out cleans, we pull out the fridge, stove, and washer/dryer to clean behind and around them.
Should I tip my house cleaner?
Thumbtack suggests 15 to 20 percent as an appropriate tip for house cleaners, with a little more around the holidays. Tipping is always optional.
