How much does house cleaning cost in Denver?

What to budget, what affects the price, and what to check before you book.

Kitchen with wood cabinets and a stone island

The quick answer

For a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home of about 1,000–1,500 sq. ft., budget:

  • $275–$395 for an initial deep clean.
  • $145–$255 per visit for recurring cleaning, depending on your schedule.

These are SCH price examples for normal household buildup, not a Denver-wide average. Your home’s condition and selected extras affect your quote.

Cleaning prices by service

Here’s a starting budget for the same 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. The first deep clean is priced separately from ongoing visits.

SCH examples · 1,000–1,500 sq. ft.
Service Per visit
Initial deep clean $275–$395
Weekly cleaning $145–$195
Biweekly cleaning $165–$225
Monthly cleaning $185–$255

These ranges are a guide, not a fixed quote or maximum price. Recurring savings are already included. Extras and heavy buildup can cost more.

Why two similar homes can cost different amounts

Size is only part of the price. A regularly cleaned shower needs less work than one with months of soap scum.

These details can change the cost:

  • Bathrooms: more showers, tubs, and toilets mean more surfaces to clean.
  • Buildup: grease, soap scum, and stuck-on dirt need extra attention.
  • Pet hair: heavy shedding adds work around floors and furniture.
  • Extras: cleaning inside an oven or fridge adds to the job.

Why the first clean can cost more

At SCH, recurring service starts with a deep clean. We tackle the buildup first, then focus on upkeep during future visits.

Ask for both prices: what you’ll pay for the first clean and what each ongoing visit will cost.

See our recurring cleaning options for more about ongoing service.

Weekly, biweekly, or monthly?

Choose based on your budget and how much cleaning you want to do between visits.

  • Weekly: frequent help for busy homes and less cleaning on your own.
  • Biweekly: a clean every two weeks, with light upkeep in between.
  • Monthly: a regular refresh if you handle most upkeep yourself.

Weekly visits can cost less each, but you’ll pay for more visits. Compare the total cost of the schedule, not just the price of one clean.

Check which extras are included

A lower quote may cover fewer tasks. If you want any of these cleaned, make sure they’re listed in your quote:

  • Inside the oven or refrigerator.
  • Inside cabinets and drawers.
  • Interior windows and detailed baseboards.
  • Wall spots and heavy pet hair.
Refrigerator before and after cleaning: spills and debris on the left, clean shelves and drawers on the right
A fridge clean, before and after. Interior refrigerator cleaning should be listed in your quote when requested.

A fridge exterior and a fridge interior are different tasks. Cleaning the outside doesn’t mean the shelves and drawers are included.

For a move-out clean, confirm whether cabinets will be empty. Removing and replacing items adds work.

Carpet cleaning is separate. We can coordinate it through a preferred vendor.

Five questions to ask before you book

Use these with any cleaning company you’re considering.

  1. Is this the first-clean price or the ongoing price? Ask for both so you know what you’ll pay now and on future visits.
  2. What’s included? Ask for a checklist of rooms and tasks. Confirm the cost of any extras you want.
  3. What could make the price go up? Ask how heavy buildup, pet hair, or added tasks affect the quote.
  4. Will you ask before charging more? Confirm that extra work and its cost need your approval before the work begins.
  5. What happens if something is missed? Ask whom to contact, how soon to report it, and whether a return visit costs extra.

Common questions

Can you price a clean from square footage alone?

Not accurately. The number of bathrooms, cleaning level, buildup, and extras also affect the price.

Do I need to clean before you arrive?

No scrubbing needed. Pick up personal items and clear the surfaces you want cleaned so we can reach them.

What if my home needs more work than expected?

We’ll explain any work outside your quote and get your approval for a price change before proceeding.
