How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in South Jersey? (2026 Guide)

Across Burlington and Camden County, a standard recurring cleaning for a two or three bedroom home typically falls somewhere around $120 to $220 per visit. Larger homes, homes with several bathrooms, or homes with pets and kids often land higher, in the $200 to $300 range or more.

A one-time deep cleaning usually costs noticeably more than a regular visit, because it takes longer and covers areas that a routine visit skips. For an average size home, deep cleans are commonly quoted somewhere around $250 to $450, and big or very neglected homes can go beyond that.

Some companies charge by the hour instead of by the job. When they do, rates in the area often run around $40 to $70 per cleaner per hour. Keep in mind that a team of two working three hours is six cleaner hours, so always ask how the hours are counted.

Two homes with the same square footage can get very different quotes. Cleaners price by the work involved, and the work depends on more than size. The number of bathrooms matters a lot, because bathrooms take the most time per square foot. A kitchen with a lot of counter space, open shelving or a busy cooktop takes longer than a small galley kitchen.

Clutter is the other big factor. A cleaner can wipe a clear counter in seconds, but a counter covered in mail, appliances and decor has to be cleared, cleaned and reset. Homes with pets add hair on floors, furniture and baseboards. Homes with young kids add fingerprints, spills and toys on every surface.

Most cleaning companies offer a lower price per visit for weekly or every other week service than for monthly or one-time cleaning. The reason is simple: a home cleaned every two weeks never builds up the layer of grime that a home cleaned once a month does, so each visit is faster.

If you are comparing costs, look at the monthly total instead of the per visit number. Biweekly service at a slightly lower rate per visit can cost less per month than you expect, and the home stays in better shape the whole time.

Many companies quote the first cleaning separately, and it is often priced closer to a deep clean. That first visit brings the home up to a baseline: baseboards, light switches, the inside of the microwave, soap scum in showers and dust on high surfaces. Once that is done, regular visits can maintain it in less time.

If a quote for recurring service looks low, ask whether the first visit is included at that rate or billed differently. It is a normal practice, but you want to know it upfront.

Some tasks are not part of a standard cleaning at most companies and are priced as extras. Common examples include cleaning inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, inside cabinets, interior windows, wiping down blinds one slat at a time and laundry. Moving furniture to clean underneath can also fall into this group.

Ask for a list of what is included and what costs extra before the first visit. It is the easiest way to compare two quotes fairly, because one company might include inside the microwave while another charges for it.

Housing in the area runs from older twins and colonials in towns like Haddonfield and Moorestown to newer developments in Mount Laurel and Marlton and townhomes in Delran and Cinnaminson. Older homes often have more trim, radiators and detailed woodwork that collect dust. Newer homes tend to have larger kitchens and more bathrooms. Both affect time on site.

Seasons matter too. Winter brings road salt and slush onto entry floors, and spring brings pollen onto window sills and screens. If you book a deep clean during one of those stretches, expect the job to take a bit longer than it would in early fall.

The more specific you are, the better the quote. Share the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the approximate square footage, whether you have pets, how often you want service and when the home was last professionally cleaned. Photos of the kitchen and bathrooms help a lot. Mention anything unusual, such as a finished basement, a home office or a lot of glass.
