How long does a house cleaning take?

Short answer

It depends on the home size and type of clean. A standard clean of a small apartment is much quicker than a deep clean, which typically takes 3 to 5 hours. Sudgo shows the estimated hours before you book, and larger homes can get a two-person crew so it finishes sooner.

What affects cleaning time

  • Square footage, bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Standard vs deep vs move-out clean
  • How long since the last professional clean
  • Extras such as inside the oven or fridge, windows or laundry
  • Pets and clutter
