Charge $95–$195 per weekly clean for a 2-bedroom home in 2026 (national average: $140). Weekly recurring clients deserve a 10–15% discount from your one-time rate in exchange for their schedule commitment — but your weekly rate should still generate $38–$55 per cleaner per hour to stay profitable. Do not discount below your hourly floor.

The Weekly Cleaning Pricing Formula
Start with your standard one-time rate for this home: Your one-time clean rate is the anchor. Don't set your weekly rate first — set it relative to your base.
Apply a 10–15% recurring discount: This rewards the client for committing to a schedule, which reduces your marketing and administrative costs significantly.
Verify against your hourly floor: Divide your weekly rate by expected time. Weekly homes are faster to clean (less buildup). Aim for $38+ per cleaner per hour.
Build in an annual increase clause: Tell clients upfront that rates increase 5–8% annually. This prevents awkward conversations and protects your margin against rising labor costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I charge for weekly house cleaning?
Charge $65–$115 for a 1-bedroom, $95–$165 for a 2-bedroom, and $130–$210 for a 3-bedroom home for weekly recurring service. Apply a 10–15% discount from your one-time rate in exchange for the client's recurring commitment.
Is weekly cleaning priced differently than biweekly?
Yes. Weekly cleans are faster because homes stay cleaner between visits. Your weekly rate should be lower per visit than biweekly — typically 8–12% less — but you earn significantly more total revenue per client per year.
Can I raise prices on my weekly clients?
Yes — and you should. Raise prices 5–8% annually. Give 30 days notice, explain the cost context briefly, and be professional. Most weekly clients who genuinely value your service will stay. Those who don't were probably underpriced clients to begin with.
Should I charge per hour or per job for weekly cleaning?
Charge per job, not per hour. Hourly pricing disincentivizes efficiency and creates client anxiety about watching the clock. Set a fixed weekly rate, verify it against your hourly floor, and stick to it.
How do I handle a weekly client who wants to skip weeks?
Charge a skip fee or treat the skipped week as a standard (non-discounted) clean when they resume. Build a clear skip policy into your client agreement — without it, clients will skip whenever they travel and your route density suffers.
