If you're pricing out a house cleaning in Florida, the honest answer is: it depends on your city, your home size, and how deep a clean you need. Below is a real breakdown by the numbers that matter most, so you can budget accurately before you post a job.
Florida house cleaning costs at a glance
| Service | Typical price | Per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Standard cleaning | $125 – $225 | $0.10 – $0.20 |
| Deep cleaning | $240 – $420 | $0.18 – $0.25 |

| Post-construction cleaning | $445 – $1,739+ | $0.20 – $0.35 (multi-phase) |
Cost by Florida city
Prices vary more by metro than most people expect — mostly driven by local cost of living and labor rates, not the actual work involved.
Miami
Standard cleaning for a 1,500 sq ft home typically runs $150–$200, with a broader range up to $300 depending on the neighborhood. Deep cleaning runs $420–$650. Miami consistently prices higher than the rest of the state.
Tampa
Standard cleans run $0.12–$0.20 per square foot — about $180–$300 for a 1,500 sq ft home. Hourly rates average around $30 ($20–$45 range).
Orlando
Orlando runs slightly lower: $0.10–$0.19 per square foot, or about $118–$218 per visit on average ($161 typical). Hourly rates average $30–$40.
Central Florida (Polk County)
One local operator's data from over 2,700 completed jobs shows a median of $136 for a standard clean, $268 for a deep clean, and around $325 for a move-out clean — useful as a real-world sanity check against the estimate-based numbers above.
What actually changes your price
- Square footage — the single biggest factor; most cleaners price per square foot or use it to estimate time.
- Frequency — recurring (weekly/biweekly) cleanings are usually cheaper per visit than one-time cleans, since the home stays more maintained.
- First visit vs. maintenance — first cleans are often priced as deep cleans even if you only want standard service going forward, since there's usually more buildup to address.
- Move-in/move-out — priced higher because it includes inside cabinets, appliances, and baseboards that a standard clean skips.
Getting an accurate price for your home
National averages are a starting point, not a quote. The most accurate way to know what your specific home will cost is to describe it — size, condition, what you need done — and let local cleaners respond with real pricing.
