How long does a cleaning take?
The time needed for a home cleaning can vary based on many factors.
Factors that affect the time cleaning may take include:
The condition and size of the home: For example, has the home been cleaned in the last few months, or maybe it’s been years since it was professionally cleaned? If it hasn’t been professionally cleaned recently, has the home been kept up in between cleanings? All these things play into the amount of elbow grease and time required to clean and can add or subtract away from the total time needed.
Any extras requested with the cleaning: We offer additional services like deep cleaning, baseboards, inside the oven, and wet wiping of the blinds. All these services add additional time depending on what’s being requested.
Which team is assigned to the home cleaning: It’s no surprise our home cleaners are human; some cleaners clean faster than others. We use flat rate pricing on all our cleanings. This intentional practice allows our cleaning teams to take their time and focus on the cleaning done well without being rushed.
All homes are unique, and all cleaners work at different speeds. Spending more time in a home doesn’t always lead to better results. For this reason, we don’t charge by the hour for our services. The best results come from focusing on completing a list of cleaning tasks and completing them well.
That said, we expect a standard cleaning for most homes takes between 2-3 hours for a one-person team.
While we expect most homes to fall into this time frame, not all will, which should be expected.
If a more accurate timeline is needed for planning purposes, we’re always happy to provide a possible time range over the phone or by email. Feel free to call or email us anytime. We’re always glad to help!
NOTE: We’ve learned it’s impossible to guarantee an exact time since all homes are different and all cleaner(s) work at different speeds.
