Honestly, pricing is the first concern a homeowner has when looking for a cleaning service. Although the cost of these types of services is unique for every client, some factors influence the final price.

We tell you the details about this complex topic and how you can make the best budget-friendly choice for you!

 

Factors that affect the cost of a cleaning service

 

The type of professional you hire

From nationwide companies to individual cleaners, Tampa Bay is full of options. Cleaning professionals come in many varieties, and the difference also includes price. The main types of cleaning services you might find are these:

• Individual cleaners: Many individual cleaners are contractors offering their services without a company involved. However, under certain conditions (like live-in maids), the independent cleaner might be considered your employee. Hourly rates vary greatly depending on the expertise and equipment.
• Referral cleaning companies: A referral cleaning company is a business that works as an intermediary between you and the independent contractor. However, they are not liable for the professional cleaner’s work. Prices tend to be higher than individual cleaners because the referral company takes a share of the cost.
• Cleaning companies: These companies are businesses that hire and train cleaners as employees. The company provides the procedures, cleaning products, and insurance. Cleaning companies may seem more expensive when considering only the hourly rates. However, as a cleaning team often carries out the tasks, they might get your home clean in fewer visits!

The type of service you pick

Another factor that influences the cleaning cost is the type of service you hire. Most professional cleaners offer more than one type of service. These are the most common:

• Regular cleaning: Regular cleaning services are focused on maintaining your home clean and neat. Depending on your home size, they may take from 2 to 4 hours. Most cleaning companies (including us) recommend this service weekly or bi-weekly.
• Deep cleaning: Deep cleaning services focus on reaching every corner and cleaning every layer of dirt in your home. They can take extra time, and also more expertise and cleaning supplies. 
• Move-in/out Cleaning: The service that makes a home look like new! This is the most detailed cleaning that professionals offer.

The service details

Pay attention to the details! Professional cleaners that seem too cheap might be cutting expenses from somewhere else. Every detail affects the cost of cleaning services: the number of people involved in the cleaning or the quality of the supplies. 

 

Tips for finding the best affordable cleaning service

 

Look for recurring cleaning discounts

Ask your company if there is a discount for hiring frequent cleanings. Many companies encourage their clients to book recurring services, and you can take advantage of it! 

Or tweak the frequency of the cleanings according to your budget

If you are on a tight budget, an easy way to lower the expenses is by letting more time pass between cleanings. Having the maids visiting your home every two weeks instead of weekly might save you several hundred dollars at the end of the year!

Ensure the service includes your cleaning needs

A cleaning service is worth your money only if it covers what you need. Not every cleaning company includes the same tasks in their cleaning services, so it’s better to ask beforehand than regret it later.
