How Much Does Maid Service Cost?
The prices for maid service exist on a broad spectrum which needs to encompass multiple factors. A small, local company features fewer protections than a larger corporation and tends to be less expensive. A typical small business might not perform background checks, pay for bonding, or have insurance for their cleaners, so their hourly rates could be lower. Another factor is whether or not the maid service sends one employee or two to each house. If you have two people cleaning at the same time, you need to pay both wages, which increases your hourly rate. Finally, a housekeeper is more likely to charge a lower wage per hour because they tidy up rather than perform an extensive deep cleaning. Remember to consider all of the aspects involved in cleaning your home to help you determine what the average cost might be.
Someprofessional cleaning services may do a first-time cleaning by the square foot. This allows the maid service to determine how long it will take to clean your house and to get an idea of what special attention your house may require such as high ceiling fans, fragile antiques, etc. On average, the typical single family home costs $130. Maid service for apartments averages $100 and for businesses around $150.
How often you expect the maid service to come out can also affect your cost. Multiple visits may actually net you some savings. Savings can typically be about $5 to $10 per cleaning. You might be able to get a further discount by paying for multiple cleanings upfront or by signing a contract for long-term service. This winds up saving you anywhere from $50 to $200 in the long run.
Maid services can do a one-time cleaning as well. This can be useful for sprucing up your home for a holiday party, viewings by potential buyers or apartments after a tenant has moved out and before a new one comes in. For the typical home, this cost is normally around $200 to $300.
Other factors come into play when paying for a maid service as well. These factors include the number of rooms to be cleaned, how many bathrooms there are, if you have particular needs for certain types of cleaning products, accessibility to rooms, and travel time to your home.
Make a list of the rooms in your house you would like to have cleaned and consider how long it would take you to clean those rooms yourself. Although a maid service may be faster, it is a good way to get a general estimate of the time and cost of hiring someone else to clean for you. The more rooms you have, the more expensive the cost of cleaning services. If you do not have a home that gets dirty quickly, you could choose to have a certain number of rooms cleaned each visit and rotate every time. This way each room gets cleaned within a certain timeframe, and you can save a little on the cost as well.

By counting bedrooms, maid services can get an idea of the occupancy and usage of your home. Higher occupancy often means a bit more cleanup. A large house with only two bedrooms will generally not require as much work as a small house with four bedrooms. A bedroom may have specific cleaning needs as well. For example, a master bedroom may have a walk-in closet that requires vacuuming and dusting. A dresser overloaded with tiny photographs and other mementos will take more time to clean as well.
Return to Top
Bathrooms are perhaps the most involved rooms to clean. They also often use the harshest cleaners. Bathrooms require specific cleaners for specific tasks. For example, a toilet cleaner won't work well on a shower, and a shower cleaner won't work well on a toilet. The sink and vanity will require their own types of cleaners, and mirrors require yet another. Shower doors may need a cleaner specifically for removing hard water stains and soap residue. Floors will also need to be mopped with their own cleaners.
Naturally, the larger the bathroom, the more involved it will be to clean. A master bath might include: a large shower, a bathtub, his and her vanities, his and her sinks, large mirrors, multiple lighting fixtures, and accessories for the tub and/or shower. Some of these may include metallic finishes that require specific cleaners, such as brass or stainless steel. If your sink and tiles are marble, they will require special care because as hard as it is, marble is porous and scratches easily.
Because bathrooms are so demanding in their maintenance, there are some services that clean only bathrooms. A typical price for this service is between $25 and $45 per person per hour depending on the size of your bathroom and the quality of the cleaning products used.
Return to Top
Think about the products that you want to use in your home. Many people prefer environmentally-friendly, non-toxic products. If this is what you want, you need to be clear about this from the start. Most house cleaners will ask you to supply your own cleaning products or pay for theirs. So if you have specific product needs, it could factor into the price. To see what sort of cost difference there is, compare the common products below:
As you can see, eco-friendly cleaners cost more. If you want to ensure that only "green" products are used, you should supply them.
Return to Top
Do you have:
Some house cleaners will have things they do not do or charge extra for, so it is best to set appropriate expectations.
Allergies and chemical sensitiveness can also cost you a bit more. Some cleaners, such as "Fabuloso," have a very strong scent that some people find too strong. Bleaches and other common cleaners can also prove to be a bit pungent. While many "green" cleaners don't have scents, dyes or perfumes, they do cost a bit more and you may be required to supply them.
Standard vacuum cleaner bags actually let some dust escape. For most people this isn't a problem, but a person with a severe allergy might require special vacuum cleaner bags to be used. There are too many factors to determine how much this will raise your cost (if at all, as some maid services use only "green" or anti-allergen products). However, to give you an idea:
That's about 33 cents a bag versus about $2.50 a bag.
If you have pets, you will need to let the maid service know. Dogs, in particular, can get very protective of their homes and may need to be confined. Cats are not so much an injury concern as they are an escape concern. If you have a hand-trained bird that does just fine outside of his or her cage, be sure to put them in their cages for their own safety. The presence of pets can also affect your cost if they shed a lot. Depending on the fabrics used on your furniture, pet hair can be very difficult to remove. If your pet has free run of the house, this factor could be present in almost every room.
Return to Top
If there are parts of your home that are more difficult to access, such as very high ceilings, windows or shelving, your house cleaning service may have an extra charge associated with anything that involves the use of a ladder or difficult-to-access places.
Tall ceilings usually have ceiling fans suspended from them that require a ladder to get up to even if a wand is used. Often a home with high ceilings also has tall or high windows and high shelving. This is not only a bit of extra work to get the ladder in, set up, and back out again, it's also a safety hazard. A maid service will most likely have to use your ladder, and if it isn't in good shape, you could be held liable for injuries. (OSHA has an entire section dedicated just to ladders.)
Multi-story homes require moving heavier household equipment such as vacuum cleaners up flights of stairs. Also, cleaning rails and balustrades can incur an extra cost as does the task of vacuuming the stairs themselves.
Return to Top
Some maid services will charge a trip fee if your home is outside of their service area. If you want to avoid this, look for maid services that are in your general vicinity. How much this charge is varies widely and can be influenced by such factors as the remoteness of your home, the workload on the maid service, and the cost of gas. Be sure to check what their service area is and shop around. One maid service may have more calls than they can handle and may charge more while another who needs the work might offer a lower trip fee in order to get the business.
Return to Top
There are many maid services to choose from. They range from individual people looking for extra income to full-fledged corporations with nationwide services. Which one you choose depends entirely on your personal preferences.
Independent operators often charge less, sometimes as little as $9 an hour. As independents, you can sometimes negotiate an acceptable rate. Few, if any, will require a contract, and changes to your cleaning schedule are usually not a problem. Many can provide references to attest to the quality of their work and to their personal integrity and honesty. There are websites where individual maids can advertise their services and list their qualifications and specialties.
Maid service companies are bonded, licensed and insured, but they usually cost more, around $25 to $45 per person per hour. Many require contracts and may or may not be able to accommodate last-minute schedule changes. However, maid service companies have better dependability. If one of the maids who clean your house is out sick, they can call in another employee who will have the same qualifications. As with any service, get references regardless of if you're considering a company or an individual and check HomeAdvisor reviews as well as anywhere else you can find them. Three to five should be enough to give you an idea of what level of service to expect.
Return to Top
A maid service can be expected to come to your house and clean. But what does that entail? The standard maid services include:
Some maid services offer other tasks as part of their regular service that most do not. For example, some may load your dishwasher and/or change bed linens. While most maid services will clean your stovetop, some will include cleaning the inside of the oven as well. Some maid services will clean the inside of most standard windows, but the outside is either an extra charge or not covered at all. In fact, most maid services do not cover exterior cleaning. Some will also take the trash out, but don't assume this.
There are things that the vast majority ofmaid cleaning services do not do. Most will not:
Finally, a maid will not pick up after you. There is a joke about having to clean up before the maid arrives, but there is a reality behind it. If your floor is cluttered with scattered toys, books, games and so forth, she can't vacuum it. An individual who is charging by the hour might do it, but it's going to end up costing you more. However, very few people want to be responsible for breaking someone else's belongings, so it will be seen as your responsibility to pick them up.
While most maid services will need to see what needs cleaning before giving you a quote, here are a few examples prices for many common tasks and some extras:
Return to Top
Whole house cleaning is a service that goes above and beyond simply dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing. Whole house cleaning includes cleaning lighting fixtures, switches, outlets, baseboards, air ducts, tiles, grout, upholstery, carpet cleaning, trim, crown molding and a whole slew of services dedicated to giving your house a deep cleaning. Unlike a typical maid service, a whole house cleaning includes moving furniture to get at the area underneath and behind it.
This kind of service is normally used to prepare a home for viewing by potential buyers, post-construction clean-up, or for cleaning up extreme cases such as might be seen with a "hoarder." It is a very involved service and can cost a bit. Whole house cleaning services are normally done on a one-time basis. The cost of having a whole house cleaning ranges from a couple of hundred dollars to a few thousand. Factors that influence this cost include:
Naturally, a whole house cleaning will cost more than the typical maid service. As a baseline idea of what to expect to pay, here is an example of some prices for a deep cleaning based on rooms. Remember that the prices reflect an average and could change depending on the size of the room, fixtures, appliances, etc.:
Return to Top
How often you have a maid service come to your house depends on your needs and your schedule. You might need just a little help staying on top of things, such as if you are elderly or handicapped, or you might need a lot of help because of your busy schedule or because you entertain a lot. Here is an idea of what the various schedulesfor housekeepers are:
Normally, the more often a maid service comes out to your house, the less it will cost you per visit. With such a routine schedule, the maid service will most likely have the cleaning supplies you need so that you don't have to buy them (unless you require certain products due to allergies, environmental concerns, etc.).
Weekly and bi-weekly visits are not only more cost effective, they're also healthier. A routine cleaning of your home reduces allergens, bacteria, and other health concerns for your family. A weekly visit can save $5 to $10 per visit on maid services like Merry Maids costs, not including what you'll save if you don't have to buy your own cleaning products.
Return to Top
Which maid service you choose, company or individual, what level of service you choose, and how frequently you have the maid service come out will entirely depend on your needs and budget. Some people only have certain heavily used rooms cleaned regularly, which saves quite a bit, while others may need their entire house cleaned only once in awhile. Whichever you choose, be sure to have the maid service come out and look at your house, and let them know every special requirement your home may have, from delicate collectibles to potentially difficult-to-reach areas. This way, they can give you the most accurate estimate for your home.

Concrete walkways or sidewalks are more than just a way to get wherever it is you're goingthey can provide much-needed curb appeal to homes and buildings, and they are fast becoming a point of artistic expression by way of a multitude of decorative concrete options.
While plain gray concrete is still the most often surface installed, as seen on most concrete sidewalks, there are numerous decorative concrete alternatives sure to dress it up, taking your sidewalk from boring to amazing.
The best part is that most of the options will work just as well on an existing walkway, because the concrete industry has rapidly developed many decorative products that can be applied to existing plain concrete walkways.
Concrete has become the new material of choice for designers across the U.S. Decorative concrete in all of its stained, colored, molded and personalized glory is popping up in retail stores, trendy restaurants, offices and homes everywhere. Now you can find out why!

Thanks for helping me transform an ugly duckling into a swan. You deserve the Best in Yard Improvement Award!
Gail Meador Glen Allen, VA
A walk around my yard compels me to set aside time to tell you how pleased I am with the condition and appearance of my lawn. I have heard for years that one could not establish a decent lawn in Richmond without devoting a tremendous amount of time, energy and money to getting it done. I took that as a challenge. Despite my best efforts, including a fair run with another lawn care service, the results were disappointing. I began to believe that story.My experience with NaturaLawn of America, however, belies that lore. Since I started with you last year, the improvement has been miraculous. My lawn is thick, green, nearly devoid of weeds and growing in spots it never grew before. Its the best looking lawn in the neighborhood! In addition, with two indoor/outdoor pets, my wife and I have far fewer concerns about health risks for them because of your system!
Joe Sullivan Richmond, VA
My lawn is beautiful. It has never looked this good. It looks like lush green velvet. We only had one dandelion this spring and it was on the edge of our property, so it must have been the neighbors!
Jennifer L. Lloyd Bear, DE
We have been very pleased with NaturaLawn of America. The service is prompt and friendly. The results have been gratifying. Our lawn looks lush and green and we have received many compliments. I highly recommend the service. And of course, its organic-based!
George Reed Newton, CT
Our lawn looks fantastic! Please continue the no-chemicals approach for my lawn! Thanks!
Julie Hepburn Leawood, KS
For over 22 years, NaturaLawn of America has been creating naturally beautiful lawns that are safer for you, your family, pets and the environment. Of course our satisfied customers say its best!In less than a year, my lawn has gone from one of the worst on the block to among the best. This is quite an accomplishment considering we have well water and, therefore, never water the lawn. The service is also top notch friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to explain why theyre doing what theyre doing.
Stewart Kaufman Southbury, CT
NaturaLawn of America has cared for my lawns now for 10 years (2 houses) and I am completely satisfied with your company. My service technician is friendly, caring and knowledgeable. Im happy with the results, how you care for my lawn and the prices you charge happy enough that I recommend you to others and I tear up ads from competitors without even reading them.My husband and I are currently acquiring a house in New Hampshire. There is no question that I will want NaturaLawn of America service at that house. It is a true pleasure to work with a national company that treats their customers in a local business manner.
Anne Bullitt Newark, DE
Im just dropping you a note to let you know that we are very pleased with your lawn service, the way we are treated and the beautification of our lawn. Many families have seen our lawn and are very impressed by the way it looks. They are even more impressed that you are an organic-based company and use 85% less chemicals and pesticides. We have referred many of our friends and neighbors and will continue to refer people as the opportunity arises.
Jack & Sherrie Decker Plainview, MN
Our lawn is beautiful. Thank you for the great results AND for protecting my family and the environment from unnecessary chemicals and pesticides. Its nice to have a lawn care company that is concerned about my lawn, my family and the environment. When people are looking for a healthy, nice lawn, friendly service AND a safer lawn care option, I highly recommend they call NaturaLawn of America.
Pete Plimmer Wilmington, DE
You are doing a great job! We are glad we switched to NaturaLawn of America and are spreading the word about the super job you do.
Steve Pfannenstein Rockville, MN
I just want to thank you for all the years of guidance and wonderful service that you provided to us. As first-time homebuyers, we were unaware of the constant maintenance a lawn requires. We have been using your service since 1997 and our lawn went from dirt to a plush velvet yard. We have received many compliments on our wonderful yard thanks to the service you provided year after year. We have and will always continue to recommend you to others.
Michele Sawyer Richmond, VA
Our yard was in terrible shape when we bought our home. Being first-time homeowners, we were unsure how to tackle the daunting task of improving our yard. We contacted NaturaLawn of America for assistance. Within a week, they were at our home beginning the process of turning our yard around. After 2 weeks we saw significant improvement. We are extremely happy and couldnt be more pleased with the service and dedication that NaturaLawn of America has shown in turning our yard around. We would recommend them to anyone!
Brian Cleland Belleville, IL
The family who built our three-year old house was unsuccessful in two attempts to seed a lawn. Our grass was in terrible shape; but as a mother and pet owner, I was unwilling to load it up with nasty chemicals. Instead, I called NaturaLawn of America. We now have a beautiful healthy lawn that I can feel good about. And my husband touts our organic lawn to anyone who will lend and ear.
Susan Horne Aurora, OH
I wanted to write and let you know how pleased I am with NaturaLawn of America. I had never used a lawn service before. Im against putting more chemicals into the environment, so I decided to see what you could do organically. My lawn was 1 years old builder grade seed on builder soil! It was a lawn in need of some help, but I didnt know how wonderful it could look.Two days ago, my neighbor (who used one of the top chemical lawn companies) sounded a little baffled and asked what I do to my lawn It looks like a carpet! We just smiled and said NaturaLawn of America. Thats when I took a good look at my lawn and everyone elses - our lawn is thick and green. Despite the recent drought, despite our lack of attention to our lawn, and despite its humble beginnings, it is a magnificent piece of work.
Paul & Doris Pavlichek Mount Airy, MD
This is our second year with NaturaLawn of America and I cant say how much we appreciate your work. The yard is awesome!
Don Strei Elk River, MN
Before Mosquito Ranger, we couldnt enjoy our yard. Weve been using them for years, and we still have honeybees and other insects just no mosquitoes. Anthony is a very courteous, dependable and thorough technician.

Home is a wonderful place. Not only is it comfortable for your family, its also an ideal place for pests. Pests need food, moisture, and shelter from the elements and predators. Your home provides all of these without the threat of any natural predators. This is why pests desire to enter and live in your home year-round. And just because you dont see any pests, it doesnt mean they arent there.
Did you know that pests can get into your home through cracks as small as 1/64 inch? These cracks include access holes where pipes and wires enter your home and around window sills. Once inside, they can have a significant impact on you and your family such as:
Pests can cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. Cockroach feces, saliva, and insect parts degrade into a dust and can become one of the most common indoor allergy triggers for sensitive adults and children alike. These cockroach allergens may produce an allergic response in sensitive individuals. The response can be anything from sneezing and itchy eyes to severe asthmatic attacks that may require immediate medical attention.
Asthma is the leading chronic illness among children and adults. Along with mold, animal dander, dust mites, and cigarette smoke, cockroaches are one of the most common indoor allergens. Exposure to cockroaches can trigger asthma attacks in those with asthmatic sensitivities with an increased incidence among children. Infants who have prolonged exposure to roach residue are more likely to remain sensitive to cockroaches for the rest of their lives. Children and adults who already suffer from asthma can see their medical condition worsen with repeated exposure.
Pests can carry pathogens and spread numerous diseases in and around your home. They can endanger your family's health and cause illnesses, such as salmonella and dysentery causing headaches, fever, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Pests can also contaminate food sources within the home causing food borne illnesses. It is vital that all open food containers, boxes, etc. are tightly sealed and properly stored to avoid access and contamination.

Whether its a column ofantsmarching through the kitchen, fleas tracked in by the family pet, or worse, pests in and around the home can be annoying or potentially harmful.With dependable pest control products and the right preventative measures, however, you can stop insects and animals from becoming a serious nuisance.
General pest problems in and around the home are relatively easy to manage and eliminate once you identify what the type of insect or animal youre dealing with. The most effective strategy may involve using a combination of methods, and we offer a wide variety of do-it-yourself products to help you get the job done.
If youre trying to decide on how best to treat your pest problem, here are some tips and advice to consider:
Know the pest youre dealing with. This is the first and most important step in pest control and it will help you choose the form of treatment (aerosol, dust, bait, etc.) best suited to target the pest you want to get rid of.
Broad spectrum aerosols and bug sprays are a handy, quick-strike remedy for a wide range of fly or crawling indoor insects. Insect traps placed in strategic spots (under sinks & behind furniture) offer you a way to both identify insects and eliminate them before they become a problem. Always read and follow product instructions carefully for the best results.
Think pest management and prevention. The best pest prevention is denying them entry in the first place. You probably wont be able to completely eliminate pests from your home, lawn, or garden but there are things you can do to minimize the problem:
Dont leave food in pet bowls out for long periods of time. Caulk cracks and crevices, apply weather strippingto doors and windows, and install screens on all floor drains to control pest access. Remove piles of wood from around your home and trim any shrubs or branches touching the house. Get rid of anything around your home allows standing water to create a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects.
Let us help you find the right combination of pest management and pest control products to keep insects and animals in check around your home. From everyday indoor bug and insect problems like spiders, stink bugs, silverfish and roaches to birds, squirrels, rodents, and other types of vermin, we offer a full range of top-rated, effective, home pest control solutions, including animal traps, animal baits, andgranular repellants and exterminators, and more.

Dont let insects and rodents win; fight back and reclaim your home with various pest control options if your insect, rodent, or animal infestation is spiraling out of control.
From liquid ant baits to live ladybugs to electronic insect swatters, Amazon.com offers a wide variety of pest control supplies and options. For rodents and other animal pests, depending on whether theyre wanted dead or alive, you have many options. Live animal cage traps work great for small outdoor rodents like chipmunks, squirrels, and weasels as well as indoor mice and rats. For quick traps, we offer a wide range of electronic or snap mouse traps that instantly get the rodent. For larger animals, try an ultrasonic animal repellant or a motion-activated sprinkle to startle and scare them away. Sorted into convenient categories, you can search by type of pest, featured brands, and price to find the perfect solution to your problem. You can also read product reviews right on the page from other customers to see how effective pest control can be.
Get insects under control with pest control for ants, mosquitos, spiders, and other creepy crawlers. Hang an electric lantern or lure outside that will attract and kill flying insects like mosquitoes and biting flies. Natural and chemical repellent sprays, powders, and dust will stop bugs on your plants, in your water, and from forming colonies. If youre worried about chemicals in the air, live pest control like ladybugs, praying mantises, and nematodes actively seek out and eat insects like aphids and mealy bugs.
The fight against insects, animals, and rodents ends here: take a stand with pest control from Amazon.com, your 24/7 online ally.
