How much does Orchid Cleaning charge for house cleaning in Polk County?

Our 2026 rates are published: a recurring clean every two weeks runs $150 for a 1,000 sq ft home, $230 for 2,000 sq ft, $294 for 3,000 sq ft, and $360 for 4,000 sq ft — no sales tax on residential cleaning. Weekly service is 10% less than biweekly; every-4-weeks is 20% more. Deep cleans are 1.85× the biweekly rate. Your final quote can vary somewhat from the grid based on the home's condition, occupants and pets, extra bedrooms or bathrooms, patios, add-ons, and any discounts — and we deduct for rooms you don't need cleaned.

Why can the final quote differ from the price grid?

Square footage sets the base, but the real job varies with condition of the home, how many people and pets live there, extra bedrooms and bathrooms, and patios or lanais. Add-ons raise the price and discounts or skipped rooms lower it — and rooms that don't need cleaning are deducted from the price, not just skipped.

Do you charge less if some rooms don't need cleaning?

Yes. If a guest room, formal dining room, or any other room stays closed off and unused, we deduct it from your quote rather than charging for the full square footage — there is no fee to skip a room. Small recurring extras run the other way as flat per-visit line items: a patio kept in the rotation is $10–$25 per visit and pets are $5 per pet per visit.

What discounts does Orchid Cleaning offer?

Standing 10% discounts on recurring service for seniors (65+), military and veterans, first responders, and teachers and nurses. Prepay discounts: 5% for 3 months, 8% for 6 months, 12% for 12 months of recurring service, one discount per account.

The 2026 rate grid

Prices are per visit, in US dollars: no sales tax on residential cleaning. Recurring visits have a $95 minimum; one-time visits (seasonal, first-time, deep) a $145 minimum. Homes between sizes round up to the next 500 sq ft tier.

Sq Ft	Weekly	Every 2 wks	Every 3 wks	Every 4 wks	Seasonal	First-time	Deep clean

Move-in/move-out cleans are quoted per project (empty-home, everything-in-scope work). See our real completed-job cost data, where a typical move-out now runs about $410 billed hourly at $115/hr for a two-cleaner crew. A $35 trip fee applies outside core Winter Haven / Lakeland.

Why your quote can be above or below the grid

The grid is the base for an average home in average condition. Real homes aren't average, so your final quote can vary somewhat in either direction. What moves it:

Condition of the home and occupants. A tidy empty-nester home cleans faster than a full house of kids; heavy buildup drifts the price up.
Pets. A $5-per-pet fee per visit on recurring service; heavy one-time deshedding is a $42 add-on.
Extra bedrooms and bathrooms beyond what's typical for the square footage.
Patios and lanais. $10–$25 per visit to keep one in the recurring rotation; a one-time detail scrub of a screened lanai is a $37 add-on.
Add-ons from the menu below, and discounts from the rewards program.
Rooms you don't use: we deduct them. If a guest room or formal dining room stays closed off and doesn't need cleaning, we take it off the price rather than charging for the full footprint.

Hourly-rate services (every hourly rate is a two-cleaner crew)

Some jobs are quoted by the hour instead of the grid. Every hourly rate below includes two cleaners on site:

Service	Rate
Move-in / move-out clean — empty home, everything in scope	$115/hour
Sanitation clean — heavy disinfection & extreme-condition resets	$125/hour
Organizational clean — room-by-room declutter & reorganization	$132/hour
Junk & debris removal — full trailer load, hauled, recycled, donated	$385 first load, $350 each after

A typical 3.5-hour move-out runs about $410. See our real completed-job cost data. Junk-removal loads are flat per full trailer load; most hoarding and estate cleanouts combine loads with a sanitation clean (real case study).

Per-visit adjustments on recurring service (our real numbers)

On an ongoing schedule, small recurring extras are billed as flat per-visit line items. These are the exact amounts on our completed jobs:

Patio kept in the rotation: $10 per visit ($15 for larger patios, $25 for a big screened lanai). The $37 add-on above is the one-time detail scrub; keeping it clean afterward is just $10–$25 a visit.
Pet fee: $5 per pet, per visit on recurring service. Heavy one-time deshedding is the $42 add-on.
Rooms you don't use: deducted. There's no fee to skip a room; if anything, it's the opposite. Closed-off guest rooms, formal dining rooms, or offices you don't want cleaned come off the base price, since square footage only sets the starting point.
