How Long Does a Professional House Cleaning Take?

This depends on the home, but here are real-world averages:

• Apartment: 1.5–2.5 hours

• Small home: 2–3 hours

• Larger home: 3–5 hours

First-time cleanings usually take longer. That’s normal.

If someone promises to clean a full house in an hour, they’re either rushing or skipping things. Good cleaning takes time.
