House Cleaning Price and Cost Questions
What You Will Pay
House cleaning prices at Dust Bunnies Be Gone are set by the job, not the hour, and every client gets a free written estimate before the visit. These are the price questions we hear most.
01
What is the average cost for someone to come in and clean your house?
Local averages around Conroe put a standard clean at about $100-$250+ per visit, and deep cleans run higher by home size. At Dust Bunnies Be Gone, recurring visits run $110-$150+ and deep cleans $125-$325+.

See the full house cleaning cost in Conroe, TX guide and the maid service cost guide.
02
Is $50 an hour too much for house cleaning?
No, not for an insured team that brings its own supplies. Agencies near Conroe charge about $40-$70+ per man-hour. Dust Bunnies Be Gone prices by the job instead, so you know the total up front. Compare rates in our house cleaning hourly rate guide.
03
Is $25 an hour good for house cleaning?
Independent cleaners near Conroe often charge about $16-$25+ per hour. A lower hourly rate can cost more in the end if supplies, insurance, background checks and a guarantee are not included.
04
Why does the first clean cost more?
A first clean is a deep clean, which removes months of build-up from baseboards, grout, fans and vents. After that, recurring visits are shorter and cost less because they maintain a clean home.
05
How much do add-ons cost?
| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| Inside fridge with freezer, or oven with broiler drawer | $35 each |
| Wine, beverage, outdoor or extra fridge | $35 each |
| Interior cabinets | $40+ |
| Cabinet grease | $35 |
| Baseboards | $50 |
| Interior windows | $10 each |
| Blinds | $15 per blind |
| Ceiling fans | $5 per fan |
| Laundry | $20 per load |
| Extra bathroom or bedroom | $25 each |
| Pet hair | $50 |
| Doors and door frames | $25 |
| Dishes | $10 |
06
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Text photos or ask for a walkthrough, and Monica sends a free written estimate. Prices vary with size, condition and the add-ons you choose. See the full deep cleaning cost guide.
House Cleaning Deposit, Payment and Booking Questions
Holding Your Date
Booking a Dust Bunnies Be Gone clean takes a text, a written estimate and a $50 deposit. Here is how deposits, payments and scheduling work.
01
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A $50 deposit holds your cleaning date. It comes off your total, so it is not an extra fee.
02
Is the $50 deposit refundable?
No. The $50 deposit is non-refundable because it reserves a spot on the schedule that could have gone to another family.
03
What payment methods do you accept?
Dust Bunnies Be Gone accepts Venmo, Zelle and Apple Pay for the deposit and the balance.
04
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Recurring service has no long-term contract. One-time and move out cleans are booked one visit at a time.
05
How far ahead should I book?
One to two weeks ahead is ideal, and earlier before Thanksgiving, Christmas and the end of the month, when move outs stack up. Text (346) 825-5033 for the next open date.
06
What if I need to reschedule?
Text (346) 825-5033 as soon as you know. The owner answers directly and will work with you on a new date. Keep in mind the deposit itself is non-refundable.
What Is Included in a House Cleaning?
Scope, Room by Room
Every Dust Bunnies Be Gone service follows Monica's written checklist, and the scope changes with the service you book. These are the questions about what is included and what is not.
01
What does a regular house cleaning include?
A regular clean covers the surfaces you use every day: kitchen counters, stovetop, sink and appliance fronts, bathrooms, dusting, mirrors, and vacuuming and mopping floors. Learn more on the recurring house cleaning page.
02
What is not included in a regular clean?
Doors and door frames are not part of a regular clean; they are a $25 add-on. Inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior cabinets, interior windows, blinds and laundry are add-ons too.
03
What does a deep clean include?
A deep clean adds the detail work: baseboards, vents, ceiling fans, grout, cabinet fronts, descaled fixtures and shower glass. It usually takes 3 to 8 hours. See the deep cleaning service.
04
What should be included in a move in clean?
A move in clean should cover an empty home inside and out: cabinets and drawers, closet shelves, bathrooms, baseboards, window sills and floors, plus the inside of appliances. See move in and move out cleaning and the move out cleaning cost guide.
05
What should a cleaner do in 2 or 3 hours?
In 2 to 3 hours on a home that is already maintained, a cleaner can finish the kitchen, bathrooms, dusting and floors. A home that has not been deep cleaned needs a deep clean first.
06
What is the correct order to clean a house?
Clean top to bottom and dry to wet: dust high areas first, then wipe surfaces, then clean bathrooms and the kitchen, and finish with floors so nothing lands on a clean floor.
07
What is the 80/20 rule in house cleaning?
The 80/20 rule says about 80 percent of the mess comes from 20 percent of the home, usually the kitchen, bathrooms and entry. Focusing there gives the biggest result for the time.
House Cleaning Supplies, Products and Pets
What We Bring
Dust Bunnies Be Gone brings all cleaning supplies and equipment to every visit and uses eco-friendly, non-toxic products on request. Pets are welcome to stay home.
01
Do you bring your own cleaning supplies?
Yes. The team brings every supply and piece of equipment. If you have a product you prefer for a certain surface, leave it out and let us know.
02
Do you use eco-friendly or non-toxic products?
Yes, on request. Families with babies, pets, asthma or allergies can ask for eco-friendly, non-toxic products when they book. See green cleaning.
03
Can my pets be home during the cleaning?
Yes. Let us know about pets when you book. Some families crate nervous pets or keep them in one room so the team can work and doors can stay open.
04
Do you charge extra for pet hair?
Heavy pet hair is a $50 add-on, because it hides in rugs, furniture edges and baseboards and takes extra time to remove.
House Cleaning Scheduling and Being Home
Fitting Your Week
Scheduling with Dust Bunnies Be Gone runs Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm and Saturday 9am to 8pm. These are the questions about timing, access and getting the home ready.
01
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
No. Many clients are at work. Share how the team gets in when you book, and you can reach the owner directly by call or text during the visit.
02
Should I tidy up before the cleaners come?
A quick pick-up helps. Clear counters, floors and bathroom vanities so the team can reach every surface. You do not need to clean first. If clutter is the bigger issue, home organizing is $50 per hour with a $200 minimum.
03
How often should I schedule house cleaning?
Biweekly is the most popular choice. Weekly fits busy families with kids and pets, and monthly works for lighter use. Read weekly vs biweekly cleaning to compare.
04
How long does a house cleaning take?
A maintenance visit is shorter, and a deep clean usually takes 3 to 8 hours. About 1 to 2 bedrooms take 2 to 4 hours deep, 3 bedrooms 4 to 8 hours, and 4 or more bedrooms 8 hours or more.
House Cleaning Trust and Safety Questions

03
Are you insured?

04
What is a bonded cleaning service?
A bond is a type of coverage some cleaning companies buy that can pay a client if an employee is found responsible for theft. It is different from insurance, which covers accidents and damage. Ask any company to explain what it carries.

Tell the owner right away, by call or text. Dust Bunnies Be Gone is insured, and Monica will talk through what happened with you directly.
