Understanding house cleaning cost can feel confusing when you’re hiring a professional cleaner for the first time. One company quotes by the hour, another by the number of bedrooms, and the averages you find online rarely match the quote you receive. That’s because no two homes are alike: a condo cleaned every week needs far less time than the same condo after a busy holiday season.
Most companies base their house cleaning prices on three things: how much space there is to clean, how often they visit, and the current condition of the home. Once you understand these, it becomes much easier to compare quotes fairly and pick the service that fits your routine and your budget.
In this guide, we explain how house cleaning is priced, what each type of service includes, and what families in Long Branch, West Long Branch and across Monmouth County typically pay with Stunning Cleaning Services in 2026.

How Much Does Regular House Cleaning Cost?
Regular (recurring) cleaning is the service most homeowners choose. It’s a maintenance clean on a set schedule: kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, floors and surfaces, so your home stays fresh between visits. Because the home never gets far behind, each visit takes less time, and that keeps the price lower.
At Stunning Cleaning Services, regular cleanings range from $130 to $300 per visit. Where your home falls in that range depends on three things:
- Size: the square footage and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Frequency: weekly visits have the lowest price per visit, biweekly sits in the middle, and monthly is the highest, since more build-up happens between cleanings.
- Condition of the home: when we quote, we ask you to rate how clean your home is on a scale from 1 to 10. A home that's well maintained takes less time than one with heavy dust, grease or soap scum.
Average Biweekly House Cleaning Cost
To give you an idea of average prices with biweekly service (every 2 weeks):
- A 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment usually costs $130 to $150 per visit.
- A 1,800 sq ft house with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms usually costs $165 to $200 per visit, depending on the layout, pets, type of flooring, the amount of decor and the condition of the home.
Larger homes move toward the upper end of the range, and homes over 4,000 sq ft receive a custom quote.
Compare Checklists, Not Just Prices
When comparing quotes, look closely at what each company’s checklist includes. Some regular cleanings are very complete, while others cover only the basics. Two prices that look similar can mean very different results, so choose the service that matches what your home really needs.
For example, every Stunning regular cleaning includes, at every visit:
- Dusting baseboards
- Dusting blinds
- Wiping window sills
- Wiping the outside of kitchen cabinets
- Cleaning inside the microwave
Not every company includes these on regular visits. Some only offer them as part of a deep clean or as paid extras.

Only Need Specific Areas Cleaned? Try Priority Cleaning
Sometimes you don’t need the whole house done, just the spaces that matter most right now. With our Priority Cleaning, you choose the areas you want us to focus on, such as bathrooms, the kitchen, baseboards or dusting, and our team dedicates the booked time to them.
Our minimum package for a custom deep cleaning is 4 labor hours for $240. It’s a great option when you want a deep result in key areas without paying for a full-home clean.
What Affects Your House Cleaning Cost?
Five things decide where your home lands inside these ranges:
- Size and layout: more square feet, bedrooms and bathrooms mean more time on site.
- Frequency: weekly and biweekly visits cost less per clean than monthly or one-time service.
- Condition: months between cleanings, heavy grease or soap scum add labor. That's why a first visit is often a deep clean.
- Pets and household size: pet hair and busy households add vacuuming and wiping time.
- Extras: inside the oven, fridge, windows or a sink of dishes are priced as add-ons, so you only pay for what you need.
Deep Cleaning vs. Regular Cleaning
A deep clean reaches baseboards, door frames, grout, built-up grime and the details a maintenance visit skips. For move-in/move-out, we clean an empty home top to bottom, including inside cabinets and appliances. If you don’t need the inside of appliances and cabinets, we lower the price.
