A one-time standard house clean with Loveland Cleaning starts at $155 before tax for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home under 1,500 sq ft. The price goes up with bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage, and comes down from the second visit if you book a recurring plan. Deep cleans and move-in/move-out cleans cost more, and every price is shown online before you book.
Pricing can feel like a black box with cleaning companies: vague estimates, callbacks, surprises at checkout. This post lays it out so you know what to expect before you book.
Cincinnati house cleaning prices by home size

- Bedrooms set the base price: 1 bed $155, 2 bed $185, 3 bed $220, 4 bed $270, 5 bed $295, 6 bed $320.

| Home | Sq ft | One-time | Every 4 weeks | Every 2 weeks | Weekly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bed / 1 bath | under 1,500 | $155 | $139.50 | $131.75 | $124 |

Recurring cleaning
Recurring cleaning covers the whole home on every visit: kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms, floors and high-touch surfaces. Your first visit is full price; from the second visit on, the discount depends on how often we come:
- Weekly: 20% off. Best for busy families, homes with kids or pets, or anyone who wants the house guest-ready all the time.
- Every 2 weeks: 15% off. The middle ground. Keeps most homes in good shape between visits.
- Every 4 weeks: 10% off. Good for smaller homes, or people who keep up with things themselves and want a thorough reset each month.
There is no long-term contract. Cancellations and reschedules need 48 hours’ notice; less notice than that may carry a fee of up to 50%, and a same-day cancellation or no-show may be charged in full.
First-time cleaning
If your home has not been professionally cleaned recently, the first visit takes more work than a maintenance clean. A first-time clean adds that extra detail to the first visit only: $100 for 1–2 bedrooms, $150 for 3–4, $200 for 5 and $250 for 6. After that, you are on your regular rate.
First Time Clean (deep cleaning)
Our First Time Clean, what many companies call a deep clean, goes further than a standard visit: baseboards, window sills, door frames and furniture. New clients start with one. It is priced from your home size and shown before you book.
Inside the oven and inside the fridge are add-ons on a First Time Clean, not included. Add them if you want them.
Move-in / move-out cleaning
Move-in and move-out cleans are built for an empty property and include inside the oven, inside the fridge (empty) and inside cabinets and drawers. On top of the standard price for the home, they add:
| Bedrooms | Move-in/out adds |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | $150 |
| 3 | $200 |
| 4 | $250 |
| 5 | $300 |
| 6 | $350 |
So a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home of 1,500–1,999 sq ft comes to $265 + $200 = $465 before tax. Move-in cleans follow the same standard. You should not have to clean someone else’s house before you can settle into your own.
Add-ons
| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| Inside fridge | $20 empty / $50 full |
| Inside oven | $20 |
| Inside cabinets | $20 |
| Walls | $60 |
| Interior windows | $60 |
| Blinds | $10 each |
| Pets in the home | $20 per visit |
| Parking | $20 |
What else affects the final price?
- Sales tax: 7.8% is added at checkout.
- Same-day booking: +$150.
- Condition of the home: the price you see is based on what you describe. It can change only if the home turns out to be very different from that description.
Is house cleaning worth the cost?
That depends on how you value your time. Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that spending money on time-saving services is associated with greater life satisfaction across income levels, more so than spending the same amount on material things. For a lot of households the real benefit is not the clean house itself; it is one less job competing for space in the week.
