Standard Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning Pricing
The type of cleaning service significantly affects cost. All Bright Cleaning offers both standard house cleaning and deep cleaning.
| Service Type | What's Included | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| **Standard House Cleaning** | Surface dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom sanitizing, kitchen cleaning | 2–3 hours |
| **Deep Cleaning** | Everything in standard cleaning + inside oven, behind appliances, grout scrubbing, baseboards, window tracks | 4–6 hours |
| **Move-In/Move-Out Cleaning** | Comprehensive cleaning of empty or nearly empty home, inside all cabinets and closets | 4–8 hours |
Deep cleaning and move-in/move-out cleaning cost more because they require significantly more time and labor. All Bright Cleaning recommends starting with a deep cleaning, then transitioning to a standard recurring schedule.

How Cleaning Frequency Affects Cost
Cleaning frequency directly impacts per-visit pricing. Recurring clients of All Bright Cleaning benefit from better per-visit rates compared to one-time bookings.
| Frequency | Per-Visit Cost | Monthly Cost (Approximate) |
|---|---|---|
| **Weekly** | Lower per visit | Highest monthly total |
| **Bi-weekly** | Moderate per visit | Moderate monthly total |
| **Monthly** | Higher per visit | Lowest monthly total |
| **One-time** | Highest per visit | One-time charge |
Weekly cleaning maintains a cleaner home and requires less effort per visit, which translates to better per-visit value. All Bright Cleaning provides transparent per-visit pricing with no hidden fees.
