1. Property Size
   The size of the property is a crucial factor. This includes both the number of rooms and the square footage. Rates are typically higher for larger properties as they require more time and resources to clean properly. In the case of a move-in or move-out, a larger house may require more time and personnel to complete the cleaning.

2. Property Condition
   The condition of the property also significantly impacts the cost. For a move-out or after a renovation, homes may have more dirt, debris, or construction residue that must be removed before performing a deep clean. Homes in a dirty or cluttered state may require extra effort and a higher cost.

3. Type of Cleaning Required
   Depending on the specific needs of the property, the type of cleaning may vary. Common services include:

   • Deep cleaning: Thorough cleaning of every corner, from windows to floors.
   • Post-construction cleaning: After a renovation, this may include removing dust, debris, paint, and other remnants.
   • Cleaning of specific areas: Such as carpets, kitchens, or bathrooms.
   • Window cleaning or cleaning hard-to-reach surfaces. Rates for this specialized type of cleaning are usually higher due to the additional effort and time required.

4. Service Frequency
   The frequency of the services can also affect the rate. In the case of a move-in or move-out, the service is usually a one-time cleaning, which involves fixed or higher rates. On the other hand, regular cleaning contracts (such as for offices or rental properties) may have lower rates due to the frequency of service.

5. Location
   The location of the property also plays a significant role in the cost. Properties located in more remote or difficult-to-access areas tend to have higher rates due to additional transportation, time, and logistics costs. If the property is in a high-cost-of-living city, the rates will also likely be higher.

6. Estimated Work Time
   An accurate estimate of the time needed to complete the cleaning is essential. Cleaning companies often base their pricing on hourly rates, depending on the complexity of the job. The time required for a move-in or move-out cleaning generally ranges from 3 to 8 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property.

7. Additional Services
   Extra services like carpet cleaning, window washing, or cleaning appliances (e.g., ovens or refrigerators) usually come with an additional cost. These services are not always included in a standard cleaning package and can increase the final price.

8. Materials and Equipment Used
   The use of eco-friendly or specialized cleaning products can also affect the price. Companies using high-end or eco-friendly products often charge more due to the cost of the products and their environmental impact. Additionally, the type of equipment used, such as industrial vacuums or carpet-cleaning machinery, can influence the final cost.

9. Number of Professionals Involved
   The amount of staff required to complete the cleaning is also an important factor. For move-in or post-renovation cleanings, a larger team may be needed to efficiently complete the cleaning in a timely manner, which can increase the cost.

10. Payment Terms
    Some companies offer discounts for advance payments or long-term contracts, while others may charge additional fees for urgent services or cleaning during non-traditional hours (e.g., weekends or holidays).

11. Company Reputation
    Finally, the reputation of the cleaning company can also influence prices. Companies with a strong reputation and a history of quality service may charge more due to the trust customers have in their work. A prestigious company with experience in move-in or renovation cleanings can justify higher rates due to their expertise and guaranteed quality.

Method to Calculate the Cost
The cost of cleaning services for move-ins or renovations can be calculated using some of the following methods:

• Hourly rate: Most cleaning companies charge by the hour, especially if the property is difficult to clean or the job is complex. The average price ranges from $30 to $80 per hour per cleaner.
• Flat rate based on size: Some companies offer fixed rates based on the size of the property, such as:
  • Homes up to 2,000 square feet: $250 – $400
  • Homes from 2,000 to 3,500 square feet: $400 – $600
  • Homes 3,500 square feet or larger: $600 – $1,000+
• Standard cleaning package: This package may include a standard rate for basic service and then add extra charges for additional services, such as carpet cleaning, window washing, or removal of construction debris.
