House cleaners typically charge by the hour, with average rates ranging from $40 to $50 per hour per cleaner. The total cost depends on factors like the size of your house, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the specific services you request.

A standard cleaning session generally costs between $120 and $240. However, the price can be significantly higher for very large homes or comprehensive services. Keep in mind that add-on services, such as cleaning windows or ovens, will cost extra.

Deep cleaning is more expensive than a standard session—often at least twice the price—because it involves more time and effort, such as moving furniture to clean underneath and reaching difficult areas. Due to the cost, some recommend hiring professionals for seasonal deep cleans while managing regular weekly or biweekly upkeep yourself.

The front load washer has a rubber gasket inside the door that prevents water from leaking out as the machine operates. The gasket does its job so well that it doesn’t allow evaporation from inside the drum, which can lead to the formation of odors related to dampness. The top loader doesn’t need a rubber gasket because of the position of its lid, so evaporation occurs easier.

To neutralize mildew smell, you can use natural deodorizers like baking soda or activated charcoal. Baking soda absorbs odors; sprinkle it liberally on the affected area, let it sit for a few hours, then vacuum it up. Activated charcoal, available in pouches, works similarly. Vinegar, with its natural acidic properties, can also neutralize odors. Mix equal parts water and vinegar, spray the affected area lightly, then blot it with a dry cloth. Enzymatic cleaners are effective too, breaking down odor-causing compounds.

A deep cleaning goes beyond traditional cleaning and includes tasks like cleaning grout and baseboards, organizing closets and drawers, dusting blinds and fans, and cleaning the inside and outside of appliances. It’s a much more thorough, comprehensive cleaning that focuses on hard-to-reach areas and often forgotten about spots.
