How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in Houston?
How much does house cleaning cost in Houston? With Texas Nova Cleaning, a standard clean starts at $159 for an apartment and $199 for a house, a deep clean at $219, and move-out at $249, all-in. See every size and service →
Every one of those is the finished price — nothing is added at the end, and the $75 deposit to book comes off it.
That is a straight answer, and it is oddly hard to get in this city. Most Houston cleaning companies will not publish a figure for a 3-bed, 2-bath at all. Several of the biggest names in the market publish no price anywhere on their site. This page is what a real Houston clean actually costs, at every size, with nothing held back.

Why our price looks higher — and usually isn’t
Most Houston cleaning prices are quoted before tax. Ours is the opposite: the number you see is the number you pay.
How to Compare Two Houston Cleaning QuotesComparing cleaning prices in this city is genuinely hard, and it is hard on purpose. Four questions make it easy. Ask them of everyone you call, including us.
1. A whole-house price and a room-selected floor are not the same product and should not be compared as if they were.
2. Is that the finished number, or does something get added?
This is the one almost nobody answers. Ask directly, and ask them to put the answer in writing.
3. Is a card required, and when?
Some companies take a card at booking, some just before service, and some charge a cancellation fee to it. Ask what you pay up front, when, and what can be charged later. Ours is written down, and we will come to that.
4. What is the price for the size of home I actually have?
A quote for a 2-bed, 1-bath tells you nothing about a 3-bed, 2-bath of 2,200 square feet. Give the same brief to everyone: address, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, how long since the last professional clean, and pets.
Size. Square footage first, then bedrooms and bathrooms. Bathrooms take disproportionate time, which is why a 5-bed with 4 baths costs more than a 5-bed with 3.
Condition — and this is the big one. How long it has been since the home was professionally cleaned matters more than most people expect. Under three months, a standard clean holds it. Past three months, a deep clean is the honest answer, and any company that lets you book a standard clean on a house that clearly needs a deep one is setting up a bad day for both of you. That is where “the price changed when they got here” comes from.
Hair gets everywhere, and pretending otherwise just means the job runs long.
Pricing the same house differently by postcode is a thing that happens in this industry, and it should not.
Standard, Deep or Move-Out — Which One You Actually NeedKitchen, bathrooms, floors, dusting, surfaces. If someone has been cleaning it in the last month or two, this is your job.
It reaches what a standard clean is not designed to touch: behind and under where it is reachable, inside the shower door track, baseboards, door frames, the tops of things. Book this if it has been more than three months, if you have just taken the house on, or if you are starting recurring service — the first visit does the catching up and the flat recurring price takes over from the next visit.
Empty house, inside every cabinet, drawer, closet and appliance.
Same rooms, but reachable, so it is the cheapest moment you will ever get to clean inside every cabinet.
Uncommon, but real, and we would rather name it than quote you a deep clean and change the number on the day.

Recurring cleaning is one flat price every visit — the Standard price for your home size, whether you choose weekly, every 2 weeks, every 3 weeks or every 4 weeks. There is no percentage ladder and no price that changes after the first month. Your first visit is a Deep Clean (the reset), and when you set a schedule at booking we take 10% off that first Deep. No contract; cancel any time.

How You Pay for House Cleaning in HoustonAccepted methods for the balance depend on your area and are listed in your booking confirmation. The rest is due when your cleaning is complete. A $75 deposit, paid by the secure link we text you, holds your slot and comes off your total.
The $75 deposit is non-refundable. Cancel or reschedule with at least 24 hours’ notice and nothing else is charged. You pay the rest when the job is finished.
That matters more than it sounds. The most common complaint against Houston cleaning companies is an invoice that does not match the quote. Ours is one total, all-in, agreed before we arrive, and the deposit comes off it.
