Pricing & Cost
Regular cleaning starts at $185, Deep at $290, and Move-Out at $380. Your estimate depends on the service, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and condition. Regular is available for a maintained home on your first visit. You see your estimate before booking.
Deep cleaning estimates run about $290–350 for a 1-bedroom, $440–530 for a 2-bedroom, $545–650 for a 3-bedroom, and $685–825 for a 4-bedroom typical home in average condition. These are estimate ranges — your final price never goes above the top of yours, and we confirm it before charging. Deep cleaning covers inside appliances, baseboards, and detailed cleaning of all surfaces.
Move-out estimates run about $380–455 for a 1-bedroom, $585–705 for a 2-bedroom, $740–885 for a 3-bedroom, and $815–975 for a 4-bedroom. Cleaning includes appliance interiors, empty cabinets and closets, and the Move-out checklist. Add cleaning requirements from your lease to the booking notes so we can confirm the scope. We confirm the final price within your estimate range before charging.
By your home — its size, its bathrooms, its condition, and the service you pick. The booking calculator turns that into an upfront estimate range before you commit. The minimum job is $185, a standard visit is a two-cleaner team, and your final price never goes above the top of your estimate.
No hidden fees. You get an upfront estimate range, your final price never goes above the top of it, and we confirm it with you before charging. We may suggest optional add-ons (like inside refrigerator or oven cleaning) but you decide what's included. No surprise service fees or taxes added later.
Regular cleaning starts at $185. Keeping up with cleaning can reduce the buildup that needs extra work. Your estimate follows the service and condition of your home. Add your preferred frequency to the booking notes.
Tipping is not required but appreciated. If you're happy with the cleaning, 15-20% is standard. Cash directly to your cleaner works best. Many customers tip $20-$40 for a regular cleaning.
Services & What's Included
Regular cleaning includes: dusting all surfaces, vacuuming carpets and floors, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms (toilet, shower, sink, mirrors), wiping kitchen counters and appliance exteriors, and emptying trash. This is maintenance cleaning for homes that are cleaned regularly.
Deep cleaning includes everything in regular cleaning plus: inside oven and refrigerator, inside microwave, baseboards, window sills, ceiling fans, light fixtures, cabinet fronts, door frames, and behind furniture. Choose it when these areas need detailed cleaning.
Move-out cleaning includes Deep plus the interiors of empty cabinets, drawers and closets, appliance interiors, window tracks, spot-cleaning on walls, detailed light fixtures and sweeping the garage or patio where applicable. Add any cleaning requirements from your lease to the booking notes so we can confirm the scope.
Regular cleaning covers everyday surfaces — dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, kitchen surfaces. Deep cleaning adds detailed work: inside appliances, baseboards, window sills, ceiling fans, and areas that get skipped during routine cleaning. Your estimate reflects the extra work.
Inside refrigerator and oven are included in deep cleaning and move-out cleaning. For regular cleaning, they're available as add-ons (inside refrigerator +$25, inside oven +$20). If you want these included, select the add-on during booking or request a deep cleaning which covers them automatically.
Laundry is available as an add-on service. We can wash, dry, and fold clothes for $25 per load. Select this option during booking. Laundry is not included in regular, deep, or move-out cleaning by default — it's always optional.
Interior windows are cleaned as time allows during standard and deep cleaning — we don't itemize per pane. For homes with many large windows (view homes, sunrooms), mention it in the special requests field at booking and we'll quote a custom add-on. We reach what a step stool can reach — vaulted ceilings, atrium glass, and any high-reach interior windows need a specialized window service, same as exterior windows.

Yes. Once you've had a cleaning, you can request the same cleaner for future appointments — just tell us when you book or by email, and we'll send them whenever they're available. We can't guarantee the same person every visit, but we keep it consistent when we can.
Same-day cleaning depends on the available time in our schedule and the work your home needs. Check the booking form for available dates and windows. We confirm availability with your booking.
The booking form shows the dates and time windows available for your cleaning. Windows can vary by date and the work involved. Select the one you prefer; we confirm the booking and arrival details with you.
Cancellation & Changes
Yes. Cancel up to 24 hours before your appointment at no charge. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a cancellation fee (typically 50% of the booking). To cancel, use the link in your confirmation email or contact hello@gocleenly.com.
Yes. Reschedule up to 24 hours before your appointment at no charge. Log into your account or use the link in your confirmation email to select a new date and time. Changes within 24 hours may be subject to a fee depending on cleaner availability.
Cancellations less than 24 hours before the appointment may incur a fee (typically 50% of booking value). This compensates the cleaner who reserved time for you. If you have an emergency, contact us at hello@gocleenly.com — we handle situations case by case.
Cancel more than 24 hours before: full refund, no fee. Cancel 12-24 hours before: 50% fee may apply. Cancel less than 12 hours or no-show: full charge may apply. Emergencies are handled individually. Recurring customers with good history get more flexibility.
During the Cleaning
No. Many customers are not home during cleaning. You can leave access instructions (lockbox code, hide a key, smart lock code, doorman). Your cleaner will follow your instructions and lock up when finished. You'll receive a notification when cleaning is complete.
Common options: lockbox with key, smart lock temporary code, leave key with doorman/concierge, key under mat (provide location), or be home to let them in. Add access instructions during booking. Your cleaner will confirm they understand before arriving.
Let us know about pets during booking. Most cleaners are comfortable with dogs and cats. Note if pets will be home, if they're friendly or nervous, and any special instructions (keep certain doors closed, avoid startling the cat, etc.). Aggressive pets should be secured.
Yes. Cleaners bring all necessary cleaning supplies and equipment — vacuums, mops, sprays, cloths, etc. If you prefer specific products (eco-friendly, particular brand, or have allergies), note this during booking and the cleaner will accommodate or you can provide your own.
Time depends on home size and cleaning type. Regular cleaning: 2-3 hours. Deep cleaning: 3-5 hours. Move-out cleaning: 4-6 hours. A typical 3-bedroom regular cleaning takes about 2.5 hours. First-time cleanings usually take longer than recurring visits.
CLEENLY carries general liability insurance. If something is damaged, report it within 24 hours. Take photos and email hello@gocleenly.com with details. We'll make it right. Genuine accidents are covered.
After the Cleaning
Contact us within 24 hours. Describe what wasn't done properly. We'll send someone back to fix it at no extra charge. No arguing, no runaround. If a re-clean doesn't resolve it, we'll discuss a partial refund. We'd rather fix problems than have unhappy customers.
We'll ask how it went after your cleaning — just reply to that email, or write us anytime at hello@gocleenly.com. We read every message. Honest feedback — positive or constructive — is how we get better.
Yes — just tell us at booking or by email. If you set up recurring service, we try to send the same cleaner each time; that's how cleanings get faster and better. On busy weeks we may send a teammate, and we'll tell you in advance.
Text us at (425) 230-5957, or email hello@gocleenly.com — we coordinate directly with your cleaner. Running late, access issues, special instructions on cleaning day: one message to us and your cleaner knows.
Trust & Safety
Yes. We book a window and we arrive inside it. If traffic or a job before yours changes anything, you hear it from us before the window opens, not after it closes.
Yes. CLEENLY carries general liability insurance, which covers accidental damage during cleaning. If something is broken or damaged, report it within 24 hours and we'll make it right.
We're a small team — most cleanings are done by us personally. When we bring in extra cleaners, they're people we know and have worked with: experienced, and they work alongside us before they work alone. Everyone is held to the same finish, and we check the work.
We don't collect card details on the site — booking requires no payment information at all. You pay after the cleaning is complete, and we confirm payment options with your booking.
Only your assigned cleaner sees your address and access instructions. Our support team can access booking details to help resolve issues. We never sell or share your information with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.
