Costs Of Residential Cleaning Services Explained
At Best In The West Maids, we believe in making residential cleaning straightforward, affordable, and tailored to your needs. One of the most common questions we hear from homeowners in Red Deer and the surrounding central Alberta area is, “How much will it cost to clean my place?” We’re committed to providing transparent pricing that reflects the quality of our work, the expertise of our team, and the convenience we bring to your doorstep. Our goal is to deliver exceptional cleaning services while ensuring you understand exactly what you’re paying for, no surprises, no hidden fees, just a spotless home at a fair price.
Our Pricing Structure
We charge for residential cleaning services on an hourly basis, with a minimum commitment of two hours per visit. This minimum ensures that we can account for the time and effort it takes to travel to your location and provide a thorough clean. Each cleaner we send to your home is billed at a flat rate of $30 per hour, a competitive price that reflects the professionalism, training, and dedication our team brings to every job. Whether you need a one-time deep clean or regular maintenance, this hourly rate allows us to customize the service to your specific requirements, giving you control over the scope and cost of the cleaning.
The two-hour minimum is designed with efficiency in mind. It allows our cleaners enough time to tackle essential tasks, like vacuuming, dusting, and sanitizing key areas, while ensuring we can deliver the high standard of cleanliness you expect from Best In The West Maids. For smaller homes or lighter cleaning needs, two hours may be all you need. We’re happy to discuss your home’s unique needs and provide an estimate based on the size, condition, and frequency of cleaning you’re looking for. For commercial cleaning inquiries, please reach out to our team directly, as pricing for businesses varies depending on the scope and scale of the project.
Payment Options
We strive to make the payment process as convenient as possible for our clients. When your cleaning is complete, you can settle the bill on-site with your maid using cash, an option many customers appreciate for its simplicity. Alternatively, we accept e-Transfer payments, offering a quick and secure way to pay electronically from anywhere. For those who love to share the gift of a clean home, we also offer company gift certificates, which can be applied toward any residential cleaning service. Whether you’re treating yourself or surprising a loved one, our flexible payment methods ensure a hassle-free experience from start to finish.
Factors That Affect Cleaning Time and Cost
While our pricing is straightforward, the total cost of your cleaning service will depend on a few key factors, primarily the time it takes our team to complete the job. The size of your home, the level of cleaning required, and the condition of the space when we arrive all play a role in determining how long we’ll need to spend. For example, a compact apartment with minimal clutter may take just the two-hour minimum, while a larger family home with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas might require additional time to make them sparkle.
One of the biggest variables affecting cleaning time, and, by extension, your cost, is the amount of surface clutter present when our team arrives. We encourage homeowners to give their space a quick once-over before we get started, if they’re able. Picking up toys, books, clothes, or other items from floors, countertops, and furniture can make a significant difference in how efficiently we can work. When surfaces are clear, our cleaners can focus on the tasks that matter most, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and sanitizing, without needing to spend extra time organizing or moving items out of the way.
The bottom line? Less clutter means we can be in and out faster, saving you money while still delivering a top-notch clean. We’re not asking you to deep clean before we arrive, that’s our job!, but a little tidying can go a long way toward maximizing the value of your investment.
Getting the Most Value from Your Cleaning Service
We want you to feel confident that you’re getting the best possible service for your money. Beyond decluttering, there are other ways to optimize your cleaning experience. Communicating your priorities with us ahead of time helps us focus on the areas that matter most to you. Do you want extra attention on the kitchen counters? A thorough scrub of the bathroom tiles? A polish of your hardwood floors? Let us know, and we’ll allocate time accordingly within your booked hours. Our flexible, hourly-based approach means you’re never locked into a one-size-fits-all package, you pay only for the time we spend transforming your home.
The frequency of your cleaning also impacts cost and value. Regular visits, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, tend to require less time per session because dirt and grime don’t have a chance to build up. A consistent schedule can keep your home in a steady state of cleanliness, reducing the need for lengthy deep cleans and keeping costs predictable. For one-time or infrequent cleanings, especially in homes that haven’t been professionally cleaned in a while, more time may be needed to tackle accumulated dust, stains, or neglected areas.
