Why Your First Cleaning Costs More
Your first visit is usually a deep cleaning, so it costs more than a regular visit. Dust and buildup collect over time in places that are easy to miss, and the first cleaning takes extra time to bring your home to a clean baseline. After that, your regular visits are focused on keeping it that way. If you want to see what a deep cleaning costs, read our guide on deep cleaning cost in Charleston.
What Affects House Cleaning Cost in Charleston
- Home size. More bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage mean more time.
- Condition of the home. A home that has not been cleaned in a while takes longer.
- Pets. Pet hair and dander add time, especially on floors and furniture.
- Extras. Window tracks, high or hard-to-reach windows, and porches can be added for an extra charge.
