Apartment cleaning costs $75 to $135 for a standard cleaning, depending on the apartment size, or about $25 to $70 per hour per person. Prices go up to $180+ for a deep clean. 

If you have pets, multiple bathrooms, or special product requirements, you'll end up paying more.

Most professional cleaning services follow the same cleaning checklist:

• Dusting
• Washing showers, baths, and toilets
• Washing sinks and countertops
• Vacuuming
• Mopping
• Emptying trash
• Cleaning mirrors

Some also include changing bed linens or cleaning the inside of the microwave.

On top of standard cleaning, a deep clean typically includes the following services:

• Washing trim, blinds, ceiling fans, and window sills
• Making all beds
• Washing appliances
• Wiping down walls and baseboards
• Sanitizing trashcans
• Cleaning stove drip pans

When looking for online reviews and ratings of apartment cleaning companies in your area, follow these steps:

• Look for local companies that are licensed, bonded, and experienced.
• Get 3 or more detailed quotes to compare.
• Look at reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
• Ask for references from current clients.
• Ask if they offer a money-back guarantee.

Before hiring anyone, asking these questions can help you find the candidate that works best for you:

• How long have you worked for this company?
• What kind of training did you receive?
• What safety procedures do you follow?
• Do you use eco-friendly or pet-safe products?
• What does this estimate include?
• How often do you recommend cleaning my apartment?
• Do you do laundry? Does that cost extra?
• Can you give me references from current or past clients?
• Does your company offer a money-back guarantee?
