Deep Cleaning Costs in Boston Homes: Transparent Breakdown by Size
Hiring a professional for deep cleaning in Boston ensures every corner of your home is restored—from grease and soap scum to baseboards and hard-to-reach areas. Below is a transparent cost breakdown by home size, what’s included, and the factors that can make prices go up or down.
Important: The ranges below are estimates. Final pricing can vary based on the home’s condition, level of dirt and clutter, number of bathrooms, and add-ons (e.g., inside oven/fridge, windows). We provide in-person estimates for accuracy.
Why Deep Cleaning Costs More
Deep cleaning goes beyond maintenance: it removes buildup (grease, soap scum, dust), reaches behind/under furniture, and treats baseboards, vents, and high-touch points. This requires more time, supplies, and detailed attention—so the price is naturally higher than standard cleaning.
Average Deep Cleaning Prices in Boston (By Size)
Based on independent cost guides like Fixr, HomeGuide, and Angi, typical ranges are:
- 2 bed / 1 bath: $130 – $180 (Fixr)
- 3 bed / 2 bath: $150 – $250 (Fixr)
- 4 bed / 3 bath: $200 – $400 (Fixr)
Note: In Boston, older homes and additional bathrooms usually push prices higher. Homes with significant clutter or long periods without deep cleaning also require extra hours.
What’s Included in a Deep Cleaning
- Kitchen: degrease counters/backsplash/sink; exterior of appliances; inside microwave; stovetop; cabinet fronts.
- Bathrooms: scrub/disinfect tiles, grout, shower/tub, sink, toilet; polish fixtures and mirrors.

Factors That Influence Price
- General condition: Homes with heavy buildup or clutter take more time.

Deep Cleaning FAQ (Boston)
Why might my deep cleaning price be higher than the average?
Prices increase when there’s heavy buildup, significant clutter, extra bathrooms, or add-ons like inside oven, fridge, cabinets, or windows.
Does clutter really affect the cost?
Yes. Clutter slows technicians down (more pick-up, more surfaces to clean), which increases total labor time.
What’s included vs. considered an add-on?
Includes detailed kitchen, bathrooms, baseboards, vents, interior glass, and high-touch points. Add-ons typically include inside oven, fridge, cabinets, extra windows, and detailed blinds.
How long does a deep clean usually take?
Most Boston homes take 3–6 hours with a two-person team, depending on size, bathrooms, condition, and clutter.
Do recurring visits reduce the per-visit cost?
Usually yes. Weekly or bi-weekly service maintains the home and reduces the hours required per visit.
Do you provide in-person estimates?
Yes. We do in-person walkthroughs to align the scope and provide a clear, written estimate before we start.
