How Much Should You Charge for Move-Out Cleaning?
Quick Answer
Move-out cleaning is priced higher than a standard clean because it’s scoped by condition, not just size. Jobs commonly run $120–$500 total, or roughly $0.15–$0.25 per square foot, with hourly rates around $25–$50 per cleaner. Set a flat rate by property size, add line-item extras, and hold a minimum charge.
Here’s the part that trips up new cleaners: a move-out isn’t a bigger version of a regular clean. It’s scoped by how the property is left, not just its square footage. A well-kept two-bedroom and a neglected one can take very different amounts of time, so your pricing has to account for condition and completeness, not size alone.
It also helps to explain the gap to clients before they ask. A recurring maintenance clean keeps an already-tidy home tidy; a move-out has to bring a lived-in property back to a handover standard, which means baseboards, inside appliances, and detail work a weekly visit skips. That’s why a move-out commonly costs more than a standard clean of the same home, and why quoting it off your regular rate card usually leaves money on the table.
Flat-rate by property size
Most move-out jobs are quoted as a flat rate by property size, because clients want one number before a handover. As commonly cited ranges that climb with bedrooms and bathrooms, a small one-bedroom often starts near $110–$150, while a larger three- or four-bedroom home can run $300–$500 or more. Flat-rate pricing is easier to sell and book than hourly; reserve hourly (commonly $25–$50 per cleaner) for jobs where you can’t see the full scope until you’re inside. The cost underneath is largely labor; the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median wage for maids and housekeeping cleaners of $17.07 an hour (May 2025), before supplies, travel, and overhead.
Add-on pricing
Move-out work lives in the extras, so price them as line items rather than burying them in the base rate. Inside-appliance cleaning, carpet shampoo, interior windows, wall washing, and the garage each add time and should each carry their own charge. Window cleaning alone commonly runs $70–$310 depending on the count, and carpet work is usually quoted separately. Line items protect your margin, make the quote easy to adjust, and show the client exactly what they’re paying for, which matters when a landlord is reviewing the bill.
Setting a minimum charge
Every move-out price list needs a floor. A studio or a small one-bedroom can still eat a half-day once you factor in travel, setup, and a deep bathroom and kitchen, so a minimum charge keeps short-notice and small jobs from losing money. Set the minimum to cover your crew’s time plus supplies and a basic margin, and apply it before any add-ons. On heavy-soil or hoarding situations, quote condition-based tiers on top of the minimum so a tough job never gets priced like an easy one.
What moves a move-out price up or down
Two homes of the same size can price very differently. The variables that matter most:
- Condition and soil level: grease, pet hair, and stained grout add hours, so heavy-soil jobs carry a higher tier.
- Occupied vs. vacant: an empty home is faster to clean than one still being packed and moved out of.
- Appliances and built-ins: inside the oven, fridge, and cabinets is where move-out time disappears.
- End-of-tenancy standard: landlord or property-manager handovers hold a stricter bar than a routine clean.
- Turnaround: same-day and next-day handover requests justify a short-notice premium.
Run the calculator for the base scope first, then adjust for the factors above before you send the quote. A quick example: a vacant two-bedroom in good shape might land near your base rate, while the same home left heavily soiled, with appliances and carpets added, can easily move a tier higher once condition and add-ons are priced in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Once the calculator generates your price range, you can send it as a professional quote directly through MioCommerce. The customer can approve, schedule, and pay online in a single step, so the estimate becomes a booked job without phone tag. See Instant Quoting.
A standard move-out clean covers every room, surface, bathroom, and the kitchen to a handover-ready standard. A deep clean adds appliances, inside cabinets, walls, and baseboards, which is what most end-of-tenancy and property-management jobs require. Use the add-ons in the calculator to price either one accurately.
Start with the baseline rate for the property size, then add time-based or flat charges for heavy soiling, hoarding, or damage. Building condition-based tiers into your quoting keeps a tough job from being priced like an easy one, which is the most common way cleaners undercharge on move-outs.
Switching is designed to be guided, not a rebuild. Your pricing, services, and client data transfer over, and the onboarding team helps set up quoting, booking, scheduling, and invoicing to match how you already run jobs. See how the platform handles managing your jobs.
