This guide answers the question with real numbers: the prices Clensy charges for house cleaning in New Jersey, by home size and type of clean, and what moves a price up or down. Every price below is for a home rated 5 or lower on our 1 to 10 condition scale. Homes that need more work cost more, and the booking page shows your exact price before you confirm.
The Short Answer
At Clensy, a one-time standard cleaning is $180.00 for a home of 800 sq ft or less, $262.80 for 1,600 sq ft and $529.20 for 4,000 sq ft. A deep cleaning runs from $220.00 to $699.60, a move-out cleaning from $224.40 to $715.80, and recurring cleaning from $135.00 a visit. The tables below list every size.
What Sets the Price
- Home size. Prices go up with square footage, because a bigger home takes longer to clean.
- Type of clean. A standard clean keeps a home in shape. A deep clean adds baseboards, door frames, ceiling fans, grout and buildup. A move-out clean adds the insides of cabinets, closets, the fridge and the oven.
- Visit frequency. Recurring visits every week, every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks cost less per visit than a one-time clean of the same home.
- Condition. The prices here are for a home rated 5 or lower on a 1 to 10 scale. A home that needs more work takes more time and costs more.
- Extras. Add-ons like the inside of the oven or interior windows are priced on their own.
Your town does not change the price. Your price depends on your home and the service, not where in New Jersey you live.

How the Condition Scale Works
The prices on this page assume a home rated 5 or lower on a 1 to 10 condition scale. A home that has gone a long time without a cleaning, has heavy buildup or a lot of pet hair, takes more time, and the price reflects that.
We call this upfront pricing: you see your price before you book. It can change if you ask for extra services on the day, or if your home needs significantly more time than estimated.
Which Clean Should You Book?
- First clean in a while: start with a deep cleaning, then switch to recurring visits to keep it that way.
- Home in good shape: a standard one-time clean, or a recurring plan if you want it kept up.
- Moving in or out: a move-in or move-out cleaning, with the fridge and oven insides included.
- Short-term rental: an Airbnb turnover between guests.
Not sure which one fits? Our deep cleaning vs. regular cleaning guide compares the two task by task, and the pricing page has every price in one place. If something was missed, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and fix it free.
