Background-checked cleaners · Targeted kitchen-and-bathroom steam care included on every visit
Bravo Maids uses a flat-rate pricing system based on your home's bedroom and bathroom count — not an open-ended hourly estimate. Every price tier is published on this page so you can confirm your exact cost before booking. Prices range from $170 for a studio recurring clean to $415 for a studio move-out, with transparent scaling by home size across all three service tiers.
Unlike hourly and platform-based cleaning services that surface fees at checkout, our flat-rate house cleaning pricing in San Diego is set by your home size before you book, and any revised price after the arrival walkthrough needs your approval. All supplies and equipment, including targeted steam cleaning on wet-zone fixtures, are included in the base price — no add-on surprises. San Diego households from La Jolla to Coronado to Pacific Beach receive the same transparent pricing structure, with the same cleaning process on every visit. The table below shows the whole-home price for your home size; we confirm the work with a quick walkthrough when we arrive.

Flat-rate pricing based on your full home size.
How your price is set
Our whole-home cleaning price is based on your home's full bedroom count, bathroom count, square footage, selected service, and the cleaning needs you describe. Leaving individual rooms or tasks out does not reduce the whole-home rate.
We confirm the work with an arrival walkthrough. If the home details, condition, or requested work differ materially from the booking, we will explain the difference and discuss available options before starting. Any revised price requires your approval. If we cannot agree on work we can confidently complete within the available appointment, we may need to reschedule or decline to begin.
For an agreed flat-rate cleaning, taking longer than expected does not by itself increase your price. We only charge after a cleaning is completed, so if we decide not to begin, you are not charged for that visit.
How Is House Cleaning Pricing Calculated in San Diego?
Our pricing is based on your home's bedroom and bathroom count—not vague estimates or hourly rates that balloon unexpectedly. Flat-rate house cleaning pricing in San Diego means a longer cleaning does not by itself raise your price; if the arrival walkthrough finds materially different home details or work, we explain it before starting and any revised price needs your approval.
All supplies and equipment included. Any revised price needs your approval first.
Same home, same scope, same per-visit rate from visit to visit.
If something on your booked checklist was missed, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and fix that item.
What Affects House Cleaning Pricing in San Diego?
Three factors determine your exact cleaning cost—home size, cleaning type, and frequency.
Home Size (Beds & Baths)
We price from your bedroom and bathroom count—not vague hourly estimates. A Studio costs $170 recurring; a 3B2B costs $280. Larger floor plans add a published square-footage tier on top of that rate.
Cleaning Type
Standard, Deep Clean, or Move-Out. The cleaning cost scales based on scope: Standard is maintenance, Deep adds detailed scrubbing, Move-Out adds interior cabinet cleaning worked through room by room with our cleaner checklist. Compare Standard vs. Deep Clean →
Frequency
Weekly recurring clients save 20% and bi-weekly clients save 15% off standard rates. The more consistent the schedule, the lower your per-visit cleaning cost. See bi-weekly house cleaning in San Diego for what each visit covers.
For large San Diego homes
Estate Care Program
4,000+ sq ft, or 5 or more bedrooms or 5 or more bathrooms.
Large homes don't fit a flat rate. A 4,000 sq ft house with five bathrooms isn't the same job twice in a row, and pricing it as though it were means somebody loses — either you overpay, or we rush.
So estate homes are billed on actual labor time at $75 per hour, per cleaner. You are never handed a bare hourly rate and left guessing: before we book, you get an estimated total range and a guaranteed not-to-exceed cap. If the job runs long, that's our problem — you never pay above your cap.
| Service | Estimated Range | Guaranteed Cap |
|---|---|---|
| First Deep CleanFirst visit — every estate home starts here | $1,350 – $1,650 | $1,650 max |
| Weekly20% off | $720 – $900 / visit | $900 max |
| Bi-Weekly15% off | $765 – $956 / visit | $956 max |
| Tri-Weekly12.5% off | $787 – $984 / visit | $984 max |
| Monthly10% off | $810 – $1,012 / visit | $1,012 max |
Recurring ranges are the maintenance visit after your first Deep Clean. Your final bill is calculated on time actually worked, down to the minute, and never exceeds the cap shown.
What every estate home gets
- Background-checked cleaners. We'll ask for the same cleaners whenever they're available, so they can learn your home — which surfaces, which rooms, which door.
- Price cap guarantee. Your quoted cap is a ceiling, not a target. Run long and we absorb it.
- Kitchen and bathroom steam care. Sinks, showers, tubs, toilets — included every visit at no extra charge. Steam cleans using just water and heat.
- $30+/hr for our cleaners. We pay well above the San Diego market rate. That is why the same team keeps showing up.
Our Pricing, Explained in Plain Language
Four things worth understanding before you book — so you know how your price is set.
Maintenance vs. Deep Clean — start clean, then maintain
A Standard (recurring) clean is maintenance: it keeps an already-clean home looking that way. A Deep Clean starts you off: it cuts through built-up grime, soap scum, and grout buildup so maintenance visits can hold that result. That's why a new recurring plan starts with a Deep Clean when your home hasn't been professionally cleaned in the last 30 days — starting maintenance on top of buildup means the buildup never gets addressed. If your home was professionally cleaned within 30 days, you can start on the Standard rate with a quick scope acknowledgment in the booking form.
Our steam is nothing but water and heat
Our targeted steam treatment uses only water and heat. We use surface-appropriate cleaning products for other tasks when needed — we want to be upfront that steam is one part of the visit, not the whole service.
What steam is free — and what's the $80/room upgrade
Wet-zone fixtures — sinks, showers, and toilets — get targeted steam free on every visit. The All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade ($80 per room) extends steam to whole hard surfaces: floors, counters, and tile walls. Every 4th completed recurring clean includes a free All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade for 1 room.
Hourly service buys time — flat-rate buys a finished result
Estate and post-construction work is billed at $75/hr per cleaner. Hourly service reserves professional cleaner-hours that you prioritize — it guarantees the time, not a fixed checklist. Every flat-rate service on this page is the opposite: an agreed scope for your whole home at a set price, confirmed with a walkthrough when we arrive.
Post-Construction Cleaning
Just finished a renovation or new build? Construction dust — drywall fines, sawdust, adhesive residue — is a different job from residential cleaning and needs a thorough, thorough vacuuming pass. Post-Construction is quoted separately from the flat-rate table above. For hosts managing short-term rentals, we also offer vacation rental turnover cleaning with the same fast, checklist-driven pricing.

How Does Flat-Rate House Cleaning Pricing Differ from Hourly in San Diego?
San Diego homeowners comparing cleaning options often find that hourly and platform-based models create pricing uncertainty. Our flat-rate model reduces that: your whole-home price is set before booking, and a longer cleaning does not by itself raise it. Any revised price after the arrival walkthrough needs your approval.
| Feature | Booking Platform / App | Hourly Cleaning Service | Bravo Maids (Flat-Rate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price certainty | Unknown until done | Unknown until done | Confirmed before we arrive |
| Background checks | Varies | Varies | Every cleaner, plus reference checks |
| Equipment | Varies | Varies | Thorough vacuuming + targeted steam cleaning |
| Deep-Clean documentation | None | None | Room-by-Room Checklist (Move-Out) |

Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing
How much does house cleaning cost in San Diego?
House cleaning in San Diego costs $170 for a studio or 1-bedroom (Standard Clean), $285 for Deep Clean, and $415 for Move-Out. A 2B2B apartment costs $250 Standard, $350 Deep, or $450 Move-Out. Recurring clients receive a flat per-visit rate lower than a one-time clean — bi-weekly and monthly options available.
Do you charge by the hour or flat rate?
We use flat-rate pricing based on your home's full bedroom count, bathroom count, and square footage. For an agreed flat-rate cleaning, taking longer than expected does not by itself increase your price; if the arrival walkthrough finds materially different home details, condition, or requested work, we explain it before starting and any revised price needs your approval.
What's the difference between Standard, Deep Clean, and Move-Out pricing?
Standard Clean is maintenance cleaning for homes cleaned within the last 30 days. Deep Clean is for homes not professionally cleaned in 30+ days—it includes baseboards, cabinet exteriors, and detailed scrubbing. Move-Out cleaning covers the full unit including interior cabinets, appliances, and all fixtures, required for security deposit protection.
Do I need to tip my cleaner?
Tipping is never required. If you choose to tip, 100% goes directly to your cleaner. Our cleaners earn $30+/hr, so tips are a true bonus for exceptional service.
How do recurring discounts work?
Recurring clients receive a flat per-visit rate lower than a one-time clean. Bi-weekly and monthly plans both qualify—no contracts required. Your per-visit rate stays the same from visit to visit for the same home and scope. Plus, every 4th completed recurring clean includes a free All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade for 1 room.
How much is steam clean?
Targeted steam on wet-zone fixtures — sinks, showers, toilets, and tubs — is included standard on every visit at no extra cost. The All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade extends that steam to suitable room surfaces (tile floors, grout lines, suitable baseboards, tiled shower walls and tile backsplashes) for $80 per room. Every 4th completed recurring clean includes a free All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade for 1 room.
What is the average house cleaning cost per visit in San Diego?
The average house cleaning cost in San Diego for a standard clean ranges from $170 (studio/1BR) to $380 (3B4B). Recurring clients receive a flat per-visit rate lower than a one-time clean. Deep cleans start at $285, and move-out cleans start at $415. All prices are flat-rate—no hourly billing.
Are there any extra fees not shown in the price table?
Targeted steam on wet-zone fixtures — sinks, showers, toilets, and tubs — is included standard on every visit at no extra cost. The only add-ons beyond the base price table are: the All-Hard-Surface Steam Upgrade ($80/room), which extends that steam to suitable room surfaces — tile floors, grout lines, suitable baseboards, tiled shower walls and tile backsplashes; inside fridge ($45 with food, $25 empty); inside oven ($45); and a Downtown Logistics fee ($25 for ZIP 92101 buildings requiring freight elevator coordination). All other supplies and equipment are included.
Is Bravo Maids more expensive than booking apps like Handy or TaskRabbit?
Flat-rate pricing and hourly or platform-based pricing are hard to compare directly. Bravo Maids starts at $170 for a recurring standard clean — that price is confirmed before we arrive and covers all supplies, equipment, thorough vacuuming, and targeted steam cleaning on wet-zone fixtures. Platform-based estimates often exclude supplies, travel, or platform fees that surface at checkout. For move-out cleaning, our $415 minimum includes a room-by-room checklist your cleaner works through on-site.
Can I get an instant online price for my San Diego home?
Yes — our pricing table on this page shows exact flat rates by bedroom and bathroom count. A 2B2B apartment is $250 Standard, $350 Deep Clean, or $450 Move-Out. If your home has 4+ bedrooms or unusual features, submit a booking request and we'll confirm your exact price within a few hours — no phone call required.
Do I enter every bedroom even if some will not be cleaned?
Yes. Enter the home's full bedroom count, bathroom count, and square footage. List any rooms you want left untouched separately so the team can respect your instructions.
Can I lower the price by skipping rooms?
Our whole-home services are priced using the entire home's size and cleaning needs. Skipping individual rooms or tasks does not reduce that rate. We can note priorities and exclusions without changing what the booking includes. Our Kitchen + Bath Steam Blast is a separate standalone service with its own fixed scope; it is not a reduced version of a whole-home cleaning.
Is a deep clean suitable if my home has substantial buildup?
It may be, but some homes need more planning than a routine deep-clean appointment allows. Tell us about areas needing extra work, blocked surfaces, renovation residue, or other concerns before booking. We may ask for a few photos or a conversation to assess the work. Our goal is to plan realistically and treat your home respectfully.
Can my price change when the team arrives?
A flat-rate cleaning does not cost more simply because it takes longer. If the team finds materially different home details, condition, or requested work, we will explain the differences and any proposed adjustment before starting. You must approve a revised price. If we cannot agree on a workable service, we may reschedule or decline to begin.
Why might you decline even if I offer to have less cleaned?
Reducing the number of rooms does not necessarily reduce the work enough to fit the appointment. We also need a clear, attainable scope and shared expectations about the result. We may decline when we cannot confidently deliver that result.
Will I be charged if Bravo Maids declines before starting?
No. We only charge after a cleaning is completed. If we decide not to begin after the arrival walkthrough, you are not charged for that visit. Our cancellation fee applies only when you cancel or reschedule a booked visit with less than 48 hours' notice.
Does a spending cap guarantee the whole home will be finished?
Estate homes are billed on actual labor time with a not-to-exceed cap you see before booking. We explain the scope, estimated labor, and cap before you approve the service, and the written terms of your specific quote apply. Your cap is a ceiling, not a target: if the work runs long, we absorb the extra time and your invoice stops at the cap.
What if something is missed?
If something on your booked checklist was missed, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and fix that item. It covers only the items on your booked checklist; see our Terms and Conditions for details.
Do you share photos of my home?
Photos we request to assess or document your cleaning are used only for service planning and quality review. We do not publish them for marketing or in review disputes without your separate, specific permission.
