Will an apartment cleaning cost the same as a whole house?
No. Apartment and condo cleaning starts at $120, and that is deliberately our lowest starting price, because a smaller space genuinely takes less time.
This is the most common worry renters share with us, and it is a fair one. Many cleaning companies quote a flat house rate no matter the size of the job, which leaves apartment and condo residents paying for rooms they do not have. We price by size, not a flat house rate. A one bedroom apartment takes less time and fewer supplies than a three bedroom home, and your quote reflects that.
When you reach out, we ask about your square footage, your number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the condition of the space. Then we give you a personalized estimate with a guaranteed maximum price before anyone shows up. No surprise charges, no padding.
How do you decide what to charge?
Every home is unique, so we do not believe in one size fits all pricing. We build every quote around six things:
- The size of the home
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- The current condition of the home
- How often we clean
- Whether you have pets
- Any special requests or add-on services
Before we begin, you receive a personalized estimate with a guaranteed maximum price. You will know exactly what you are paying before anyone picks up a mop.

What Does an Apartment or Condo Clean Include?
Every apartment cleaning covers the surfaces and rooms that matter most to daily living. We dust and wipe surfaces, clean and sanitize kitchens and bathrooms, vacuum and mop floors, and tidy common areas so your space feels fresh and move-in ready. Condos and townhomes get the same attention, including stairs, shared walls, and multiple levels when your floor plan has them. If you have specific priorities, such as inside the oven, interior windows, or baseboards, tell us up front and we build it into the quote. We bring our own supplies and equipment. You do not need to stock anything. Our goal is a consistent, thorough clean you can count on, whether it is a single visit or an ongoing schedule that keeps your place looking its best.
One-Time or Recurring: Which Apartment Cleaning Fits You?
Apartments and condos rarely need the exact same thing twice, so we offer two clear paths.
A one-time apartment clean works well before guests arrive, after a busy stretch, or when you just want a reset. You book it, we clean it, and there is no commitment beyond that visit.
A recurring clean keeps your space consistently fresh on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly rhythm. Recurring visits usually take less time per clean because the space stays maintained, which many renters find is the better value over the long run. You can learn how scheduling and pricing work on our recurring cleaning page.
Not sure which fits? Start with one visit and switch to a schedule later. Nothing locks you in, and you can adjust anytime through our team.
Do You Clean Condos and Townhomes Too?
Yes. Alongside apartments, we regularly clean condos and townhomes throughout the Des Moines metro. These homes come with their own quirks, such as multiple floors, shared entryways, tighter stairwells, and homeowner association standards that expect a certain finish. We handle all of it. If you own a condo and want it kept show-ready for resale or rental turnover, or you live in a townhome and simply want one less chore, we size the clean to your layout and your priorities. Condo and townhome cleans are quoted the same honest way as apartments, based on the actual space rather than a blanket rate. Tell us about your floor plan when you request a quote, and we will map out exactly what your clean covers before we begin.
Moving Out of Your Apartment?
Renters often need more than a routine clean when a lease ends. Getting your security deposit back usually means leaving the unit spotless, from inside the cabinets to the corners of the closets. That is a deeper job than a standard visit, so we handle it separately. If you are packing up, our move out cleaning service is built for empty apartments and condos and targets the details landlords and property managers inspect. Many customers book a final move-out clean and a first clean at their new place in one call. If you are coordinating a move across the metro, reach out through our contact page and we will help you line up the timing so nothing slips through the cracks on a busy moving week.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does apartment cleaning cost in Des Moines?
Apartment and condo cleaning starts at $120. Your price depends on the size and condition of your apartment or condo, not a flat house rate. A smaller space costs less than a larger one. You get a personalized estimate with a guaranteed maximum price before your clean, so you always know what you are paying.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
No. Many renters give us access instructions and go about their day. Others prefer to be present for the first visit. Either way works. Just let us know your preference when you book, and we will follow whatever arrangement makes you comfortable.
Can you clean my apartment before I move in?
Yes. A pre-move-in clean is one of our most requested apartment services. We clean the empty unit top to bottom so your new place feels fresh from day one. Pair it with a move-out clean at your old address to cover both ends of your move.
