"How much does a deep clean cost?" is the question we get asked most — and honestly, there's no single number that's fair to quote over the phone. Here's exactly what drives pricing in Cape Town, so you know what to expect before you book an inspection.
Why we don't quote fixed prices
Two identical three-bedroom homes in Sunningdale can need completely different amounts of work — one lightly maintained, the other with six months of built-up grime behind appliances. Quoting blind means either overcharging tidy homes or under-quoting jobs that end up taking twice as long. That's why we do a free on-site inspection before giving an accurate number.
What actually drives the price
- Property size — square meterage and number of bathrooms/bedrooms
- Current condition — routine maintenance vs. first deep clean in years
- Kitchen load — oven, extractor and cupboard interiors take the most labour
- Access — secure estates, parking and lift access affect crew time
- Extras — carpet shampooing, upholstery, or exterior windows

How to get the most accurate quote
Book your free inspection at a time when the home looks like it normally does — no need to tidy up beforehand. Mention any specific problem areas (a neglected oven, pet hair, mould in a bathroom) so the quote reflects the real scope from day one, with no surprise add-ons on cleaning day.

Is a deep clean worth it?
For most households, a deep clean once or twice a year resets the home and makes weekly maintenance far easier to keep on top of. It's also the single best way to prep a property for sale, a new baby, or simply the peace of mind of starting fresh.
