The definitive 2026 cleaning industry pricing report: national and regional rate benchmarks, service type breakdowns, pricing trends, and what the data says about profitability in the cleaning industry.
The QuotePro 2026 Cleaning Industry Pricing Report is the most comprehensive analysis of cleaning business pricing available for the U.S. market. Drawing on data from 127+ verified cleaning businesses across 34 states, the report establishes 2026 benchmarks for residential, commercial, and specialty cleaning services — broken down by region, service type, home size, and business size.
The report covers what cleaning businesses are actually charging in 2026 (not what they should theoretically charge), the gap between what most cleaning business owners quote and what the market will bear, the service types and upsell categories with the highest margin potential, regional pricing dynamics across the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, and West Coast, and the impact of AI quoting tools on close rates and average job values.
Key findings from the 2026 report: The median standard recurring clean nationally is $152 for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. Cleaning businesses using Good/Better/Best tiered proposals earn an average of 18% more per job than those using single-price quotes. Deep clean premiums are underutilized — the average cleaning business charges only 48% above the recurring rate for first-time deep cleans, while the market will accept 80–120% premiums in most regions. Commercial cleaning remains the highest-margin opportunity for residential cleaning businesses looking to diversify revenue.
