The short answer for 2026
Most San Antonio homeowners pay between 120 and 250 dollars for a standard house cleaning in 2026. A deep clean usually lands between 200 and 450 dollars. A move-out clean, the kind that has to survive a landlord's walkthrough, commonly runs 300 to 600 dollars. Those are typical market ranges for the metro, not a menu. The real number for your home depends on square footage, bathroom count, and how long it has been since the last serious clean.
We put a firm number on it before anyone touches a mop. Call (210) 300-0003, tell us the rooms and the situation, and you will have a quote you can plan around.
Standard, deep, and move-out: what each one costs
Cleaning companies in San Antonio price three tiers of house cleaning, and the gap between them is real work, not upselling. Here is what each tier covers and where the money goes.
Standard cleaning: about 120 to 250 dollars per visit
A standard clean covers the maintenance work: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, kitchen counters and sink, bathroom fixtures, and trash. A 1,500 square foot single-story in Leon Valley with two bathrooms usually sits in the lower half of that range. A 3,000 square foot two-story in Stone Oak with four bathrooms pushes the top of it. Recurring weekly or biweekly visits usually cost less per visit than a one-time clean, because the crew is maintaining a home instead of rescuing one.
Deep cleaning: about 200 to 450 dollars
A deep clean adds the slow work. Baseboards, ceiling fans, door frames, blinds, inside the microwave, grout lines, and the buildup behind faucets. In San Antonio the deep clean earns its price in the bathrooms. Our water comes off the Edwards Aquifer, and it is hard and mineral-heavy. It leaves white scale on shower glass and tile that a standard wipe-down will not move. When that scale has been building for years, a restorative shower cleaning is the honest fix, and we will tell you so before quoting a deep clean that cannot get there.
Move-out cleaning: about 300 to 600 dollars
Move-out cleans cost the most because everything is in play. Inside the oven, inside the fridge, inside every cabinet and drawer, window tracks, garage sweep-out. The home is empty, so there is nowhere for dust to hide and no excuse for missing it. If a deposit or a sale walkthrough is riding on the result, this is not the place to shop on price alone. Ask any company, including us, exactly what the checklist covers before you book.
Hourly or flat rate: how the pricing actually works
Most crews in San Antonio quote one of two ways. Hourly runs about 40 to 75 dollars per cleaner per hour, which works well for odd jobs and first visits where nobody knows how long the home will take. Flat rates are the norm for recurring service, because after one or two visits a crew knows your home and can commit to a number.
Add-ons ride on top of either model. Carpet cleaning, for example, typically runs about 30 to 70 dollars per room in this market, and it is worth bundling because the crew is already in the house. We handle carpet cleaning alongside house cleaning for exactly that reason. Either way, treat every figure in this article as a range. The exact number depends on your home and comes after a quote.

What moves a quote up or down
Square footage and bathroom count set the base. Bathrooms are the expensive rooms because they take the most time per square foot, so a 2,200 square foot home with four bathrooms often quotes higher than a 2,800 square foot home with two.
Condition matters more than size. A home that has gone a year without professional cleaning takes real hours to bring back, and every honest company prices that first visit accordingly. Pets add hair and dander to every soft surface. Frequency cuts the other way, since a crew that comes every two weeks is doing less work per visit and the price usually reflects it.
Why San Antonio homes get dirty faster than national averages assume
National pricing guides assume a national climate. San Antonio does not have one. Cedar fever season runs December into February and coats window sills and ceiling fan blades in fine yellow dust. Oak pollen follows in spring. Caliche and limestone dust ride in on the breeze all year, and the Edwards Aquifer water spots every fixture it dries on.
That load lands hardest on the surfaces that filter your air. Carpet, upholstery, and ductwork all catch what blows in, which is why we get so many calls for air duct cleaning in late February, right after cedar season lets go. If your home sits near a construction corridor or a caliche road, plan on a deep clean at least once a year, not once ever.
Reset the house before oak pollen season
One deep clean clears the cedar dust before spring loads everything again.
How to get your exact number
Skip the online calculators. They do not know that your shower glass carries five years of aquifer scale or that your golden retriever owns the couch. A real quote does. Our crews are background-checked and fully insured, and we have served the San Antonio metro, from Alamo Heights out to Austin, for more than three years.
Call (210) 300-0003 with your square footage, bathroom count, and an honest description of the current state. You will get a firm number for a standard, deep, or move-out clean, and if a different service fits your home better, we will say so instead of selling you the wrong one.
