How much does a maid service cost?

You can say that recently, many parents, students, business owners, retirees, and professionals depend on a cleaning service. Hiring one is definitely a lifesaver and worth every penny that you will spend. Now, we will tackle pricing and how much you should expect to pay.

Pricing differs in each state, and here in Chicago and around the suburbs area, the price for hourly cleaning is ranging from $45 - $100 per hour, per cleaner. You have another option that you can choose too. Several cleaning companies offer flat-rate fees and price depends on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms for apartment/condo and square footage for houses. 


What type of cleaning do I need?

There are various types of cleaning that will suit your needs. Are you moving in/moving out? Does your place need a deep cleaning or just a touch-up? You just have your kitchen renovated and need to remove all the dust around your home? Are you a small business owner that would need an extra hand to keep the place sanitized and healthy workplace? Lastly, are you worried about this Corona Virus that you badly need full disinfection clean of your home? All of those have a designated type of cleaning that you can purchase. 


Move-in/ Move out Cleaning

This will require a deep cleaning, inside of all the appliances (fridge + freezer and oven), inside cabinets and drawers and the baseboards. These are all the initial things that you will need when moving in/ moving out and the price range for an apartment is from $309 - $400. For a house move in/ move out cleaning starts from $414 - $1004 (depending on the size/square footage). Other extras like windows, washing machine + dryer, doors/ door frame and doorknobs, walls and blinds are all available by request for an extra charge. Prices are all for a flat-rate fee. 


Standard Cleaning vs Deep Cleaning

Touch up cleaning, or if you have a regular maid and would need cleaning because you will have a guest or a party or if you cannot just stand a house that is unorganized and too tired to clean by yourself. Karen’s Green Maids price starts at $129 - $189 for an apartment/ condo. For your house, pricing starts at $179 - $700

✔ 1 Bedroom & 1 Bathroom Apartment $129

✔ 2 Bedrooms & 2 Bathroom Apartment $159

✔ 3 Bedrooms & 2 Bathroom Apartment $169

✔ 1750 Square Foot Home $179

✔ 2000 Square Foot Home $209

✔ 2250 Square Foot Home $239

Deep cleaning is a more thorough cleaning and it includes the heavy-duty scrubbing of the floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. It will take up more time than a standard cleaning and cleaning solutions. That also makes it expensive than the standard clean. It will leave your home spotlessly clean. This cleaning will include wiping down the outside of the appliances. Our professional cleaners would also try to remove heavy grease on countertops and kitchen floors and conduct a heavy-duty scrubbing on the bathroom tiles. This is a recommendation for a home that has not been cleaned for a long time.


Full Disinfection Cleaning

A pandemic hit the world, all of us are worried about transmitting the infamous COVID-19. Everyone is taking extra precaution and want to make sure that they do the best in their ability not to get infected with the deadly disease. Karen’s Green Maids offers an array of services and it includes a new service called Full Disinfection Cleaning. This type of cleaning will slide your worry away. Our cleaners use new cloth for disinfecting on high-touch areas — that’s faucet handles, doorknobs, stair rails, countertops, and accessible surfaces— the things that you have your hands on all the time. To decontaminate a surface on your home, just swiping will not suffice, you’ve got to scrub it several times, scrub it until the entire surface is all wet, and then let it dry over time. For adding only $100 on top of your current plan, you can say goodbye to your worries about the germs that lurk on the surfaces of your home. 


Post-construction Cleaning

After that cupboard that was just installed, a new countertop for your kitchen, your basement that was recently converted to a theater room? Any post-construction cleaning is definitely a lot of work and the price for that will be hourly because of the tedious work that this type of cleaning entails. Price starts from $60 - $150 per hour per cleaner. 



Commercial Cleaning

No available flat-rate fee for a commercial cleaning because of the nature of work that this type of cleaning needs. From desks, chairs, computers, bathrooms, carpeted floors and telephones, that need sanitation and cleaning. This type of cleaning will be from $60 - $100 per hour per cleaner. 



Additional Services

Every household has different needs, extra services or special needs can be added on top of your reservation if you need these specific things to clean eg. windows, washing machine + dryer, doors/ door frame and doorknobs, walls and blinds are all available by request for an extra charge. This is another factor in how your cleaning appointment will be priced. We make sure that reservation is easier with just a quick booking online, here in Karen’s Green Maids.
