How Much Does an Auckland Cleaner Cost?

There are many different types of cleaners to choose from, and rates vary depending on whether it’s commercial or residential, square footage, how many rooms, how many bathrooms, and how many people or pets live/work the space.

Cleaning type includes general, deep clean, and speciality cleaning such as floor deep cleaning, upholstery, curtains, windows, gutters, and more. Most companies can provide a general quote online or over the phone and a final quote in-person.

Here is a price range, and many of these cleaning services can be bundled:

General house cleaning for an average 1 or 2 bedroom home will be at least $100 per cleaning session.
Deep cleaning a house or cleaning when you move in or move out will be at least $170.
General commercial cleaning is often charged by both the hour and how many cleaners you have, at around $35 per cleaner per hour with a minimum number of hours—typically 3 or 4 hours. For smaller businesses, you may have a flat rate quote, typically at least $100.
Carpet and upholstery cleaning are around $6 per square meter, more if you require pet urine removal or want to add a stain guard.
Gutter cleaning for a single story 1,500 square meter home typically costs between $100 and $175 to clean.
Window cleaning for a 1 or 2 bedroom with 1 or 2 windows in most rooms is around $200.

How Can I Get the Best Cleaning Rates?

Shop Around – Not only are there a variety of cleaning companies to choose from, but each offers a signature range of services. Obtain quotes from a few that have the services you are looking for today and keep in mind the services you may want in the future as it is easier to have one company call for all your cleaning needs.
Look For Specials – Cleaning companies offer specials for new clients or cleaning services that are only required periodically. These specials can often be found at the start of each season.
Bundle Cleaning Services – Be sure to ask about bundled services. For example, a package that includes cleaning your gutters, home exterior, windows, walkways, and driveway. You can also find interior cleaning bundles and some companies offer weekly/monthly cleaning subscription to ensure cleaning never falls by the wayside.
