What standard
cleaning is.
A standard house cleaning is regular upkeep for a home that’s already kept up: floors, dusting, kitchen, bathrooms and the laundry area, top to bottom. Book it one time or on a schedule, and see your price before you submit. If it’s been a while, start with a deep clean.
We clean homes in every Philadelphia neighborhood and the Pennsylvania suburbs, from rowhomes and trinities to condos and walk-ups.

Starting a
schedule? Start
with PhillyCare+.
PhillyCare+ is our deal for starting regular cleaning: your first visit gets the deep-clean upgrade free*, then visits 2 and 3 are recurring cleanings.
*How the deal works: visit 1 gets the deep-clean upgrade at the discounted first-clean price. Complete all 3 visits to keep it. If you cancel before all 3 visits are completed, the remaining difference between the discounted first-clean price and the regular first-clean price becomes due.
Your first appointment gets the deep-clean upgrade.
Your first recurring visit keeps it up.
Your second recurring visit finishes the plan.
- Weekly, every other week or monthly
- No long-term contract after visit 3
Top-floor bedroomWhat house
cleaning costs.
There’s no single price, because every home and schedule is different. Your price is based on home size, cleaning type, current condition, frequency, the add-ons you choose, and reserved time where it applies.
On a standard clean, stair railings and banisters are wiped on request.
Tell us how many floors.
Three small floors joined by a winding stair.
Mention it so the team knows the layout.
No elevator, a front desk, or building rules?
Add them to your booking notes.
Street parking, permits and keys.
Tell us where to park and how to get in.
You see it before you submit. The booking form calculates your price from your details before you submit. If the home needs more time than you booked, you get options first: add time, focus on your priorities, or schedule another visit. Nothing is added without your approval.
Prefer a set price? The x98 Specials are 2 cleaners for 2 hours at $198, 3 hours at $298 or 4 hours at $398, working through your priorities in order.
Late changes. Cancel or reschedule more than 24 hours ahead and there’s no fee. Inside 24 hours, a late cancellation is $60 and a late reschedule is $30.
Booking online yourself? Take 20% off a one-time deep cleaning you book online. $250 minimum, one per household, and it can’t be combined with other offers, the x98 Specials or PhillyCare+.

Answers
before
you book.
Not sure which clean or schedule fits? Call or text and we’ll tell you what we’d book for your home.
Call or text 215.798.7576What’s included in a standard house cleaning?
Floors vacuumed and mopped, dusting of reachable surfaces and furniture, counters and shelves, mirrors, trash, window sills, the kitchen including the stovetop, appliance exteriors and inside the microwave, the bathrooms top to bottom, and the laundry area. The full room-by-room checklist is on this page.
How often should I schedule house cleaning?
Standard house cleaning can be booked one time, weekly, every other week, every 4 weeks or twice a year. Weekly suits busy homes with kids, pets or a lot of traffic, every other week suits homes you keep tidy day to day, and every 4 weeks suits smaller or quieter homes. Call or text and we’ll tell you what we’d book for your home.
What’s the difference between standard and deep cleaning?
A standard clean maintains a home that’s already kept up. A deep clean is unconditional: every item on the deep cleaning list is cleaned whether or not it looks like it needs it, including baseboards, door frames, ceiling fans, cobwebs and treated grout. If it’s been more than a few weeks, start with a deep clean.
Will I get the same cleaner each time?
Philly’s Clean Team coordinates cleanings with background-checked, insured cleaning professionals. We try to keep continuity when schedules allow, but the same cleaner is not promised for every visit. We stay your central contact for booking, communication, payment and customer support.
Do I need to be home, and do you bring supplies?
You do not need to be home. Provide secure entry instructions before the appointment and tell us about alarms, pets or restricted rooms. Cleaners arrive with standard cleaning supplies and equipment; if you want a specific product used, leave it out with clear instructions. In a rowhome or walk-up, tell us where to park too.
How much does house cleaning cost in Philadelphia?
Every cleaning is custom quoted to fit your home. Your price is based on home size, cleaning type, current condition, frequency and the add-ons you choose, and the booking form shows it before you submit. Prefer a set price? The x98 Specials are two cleaning professionals for 2 hours at $198, 3 hours at $298 or 4 hours at $398.
What if something was missed during my cleaning?
Walk through before the cleaner leaves and tell us if anything in your booked scope was missed, so it can be fixed on the spot. If you notice it later, contact our office within 24 hours and we’ll send a cleaner back to re-clean it at no charge, or take care of it at your next scheduled cleaning.
How do I cancel or reschedule?
Cancel or reschedule more than 24 hours ahead and there’s no fee. Inside 24 hours, a late cancellation is $60 and a late reschedule is $30. To change an appointment, call or text 215.798.7576. We answer 9 AM to 9 PM, every day.
