How long does a typical cleaning take?

One of the most common questions we get at Sparkling Homes Cleaning is:"How long will my cleaning take?"

The answer? It depends! But don’t worry, we’ll break it down for you so you know what to expect.

The Factors That Affect Cleaning Time

Every home is unique, but a few key factors determine how long a cleaning will take:

🛏️ Home Size – A cozy apartment takes less time than a sprawling five-bedroom home.

🧹 Level of Cleanliness – A regularly maintained home is quicker to clean than one needing a deep refresh.

📦 Extra Services – Adding deep cleaning, inside appliances, or special requests will extend cleaning time.

🐶 Pets & Family Life – More pet hair or kiddo messes? We’re happy to handle it, but it may take a little longer!

General Cleaning Time Estimates

Here’s a general guideline for our Perfect Maintenance Cleaning (our standard service):

🏠 Apartments & Small Homes (1-2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath)⏳ 1.5 to 2.5 hours

🏡 Medium Homes (3 Bedrooms, 2-3 Baths)⏳ 2.5 to 4 hours

🏰 Larger Homes (4+ Bedrooms, 3+ Baths)⏳ 4+ hours

If it’s your first time booking with us, expect the cleaning to take a bit longer as we work our magic to get everything up to Sparkling Homes standards! ✨

Deep Cleaning vs. Maintenance Cleaning

A Deep Cleaning (which includes baseboards, inside appliances, and extra detailing) will take longer than a Perfect Maintenance Cleaning. If your home hasn’t had a professional cleaning in a while, we recommend starting with a deep clean for that fresh, reset feeling.

How Can You Help Speed Things Up?

While you don’t need to clean before we clean (that’s what we’re here for!), small steps like tidying up personal items, clearing countertops, and putting away laundry can help us focus on making your home sparkle even faster!

The Best Part? You’re Getting Time BACK!

No matter how long your cleaning takes, the most important thing is that you’re not the one doing it! That means more time for family, work, self-care, or just putting your feet up with a well-earned break.
