Deep Cleaning Time Estimator

Estimate how long a top to bottom deep clean will take, and what it costs if you hire it out.

How this works

A deep clean takes about 2 hours for a kitchen, 75 minutes per bathroom, 45 minutes per bedroom and 0.6 minutes per m² for living areas. Heavy grease adds 50% to the kitchen, clutter adds 20 to 50% overall, an oven adds an hour. Hired cleaners charge around $50 an hour each.
