Quick Answer
A professional deep cleaning covers every room top-to-bottom — baseboards, window sills, inside appliances, grout, light fixtures, and detailed dusting most regular cleanings skip. In Los Angeles and Orange County, deep cleaning with 24 25 Cleaners starts around $324 for a 1 bed/1 bath apartment, ~$435 for a 2 bed/2 bath home, and ~$548 for a 3 bed/2 bath house, with the exact price depending on square footage, condition, and location.
What Makes Deep Cleaning Different from Regular Cleaning
A standard recurring cleaning keeps an already-tidy home looking fresh — wiping counters, vacuuming floors, and cleaning bathrooms. Deep cleaning goes much further, targeting buildup that accumulates over months: baseboards along the hardwood floors of a Silver Lake bungalow, grease film on kitchen cabinets in a Costa Mesa condo, or soap scum in the showers of a Long Beach apartment. It's the reset that most homes need before starting a regular maintenance schedule, especially in coastal areas where salt air and dust from open windows settle quickly.
Because Southern California homes range from compact Koreatown studios to sprawling Newport Coast estates, the scope of a deep clean varies significantly. A first-time client is often surprised by how much detail is involved: cleaning behind and under furniture, scrubbing tile grout, sanitizing trash cans, and hand-wiping vents and blinds. This is why deep cleaning is treated as its own distinct service rather than an upgrade to a standard visit.
What's Included in a Deep Cleaning Visit
A typical 24 25 Cleaners deep cleaning includes kitchens (inside microwave, exterior of appliances, cabinet fronts, backsplash detailing), bathrooms (grout scrubbing, tile, fixtures, mirrors), all living areas and bedrooms (baseboards, door frames, light switches, ceiling fans, window sills), and general detail work like cobweb removal and interior glass spot-cleaning. Floors are vacuumed and mopped throughout, and high-touch surfaces get extra attention. This level of detail is what separates a deep clean from a quick tidy-up and is especially valuable in older LA properties with more built-up grime in corners and vents.
Deep cleaning is also the recommended starting point for clients who haven't had professional help in a while, before moving into a biweekly or weekly routine. Many homeowners in Pasadena, Irvine, and Huntington Beach book a deep clean seasonally — often before holidays or after a long summer of foot traffic from kids and pets — to bring the home back to a baseline that's easy to maintain going forward.
Deep Cleaning Cost in Los Angeles and Orange County
Pricing depends on home size, condition, and location, but as a starting point, a 1 bed/1 bath apartment (~650 sq ft) begins around $324, a 2 bed/2 bath home (~1,200 sq ft) starts around $435, and a 3 bed/2 bath house (~2,000 sq ft) starts around $548. These figures reflect a moderately dirty home with no add-ons; homes with heavier buildup, pet hair, or larger square footage will run higher. None of these numbers are fixed or guaranteed — the only way to get an exact quote is through the instant booking page or by requesting a free custom quote from our team.
It's worth noting that deep cleaning pricing is separate from move-in/move-out and post-construction cleaning, which involve more intensive detail work like construction dust removal or preparing a rental for final inspection. For example, move-in/out pricing starts around $355 for a small apartment and climbs based on size and condition, while post-construction starts around $405. Whether you're in Los Angeles or Orange County, your final price is always calculated based on your specific home, not a flat rate.
How to Get the Most Value from a Deep Clean
To save money long-term, many clients book a one-time deep clean and then transition into a recurring plan — weekly, biweekly, or every four weeks — since recurring visits cost less per session and prevent the kind of buildup that makes deep cleaning necessary in the first place. Biweekly service saves 10% compared to the every-4-week rate, and weekly service saves 15%, which adds up meaningfully over a year for busy households in Torrance, Anaheim, or Culver City.
Before your appointment, decluttering countertops and floors helps the team focus time on actual cleaning rather than tidying, which can also help keep costs predictable. Checking reviews from other Southern California clients is a good way to see what real deep cleaning results look like before booking. Ready to get your home professionally deep cleaned?

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a professional deep cleaning take?
A deep cleaning typically takes longer than a standard visit — often 3 to 6 hours depending on home size and condition. A 1 bed/1 bath apartment usually takes less time than a 3 bed/2 bath house, and homes with heavier buildup require additional time to complete thoroughly.
How much does a deep cleaning cost in Los Angeles or Orange County?
Starting prices are approximately $324 for a 1 bed/1 bath apartment, $435 for a 2 bed/2 bath home, and $548 for a 3 bed/2 bath house. These are starting estimates only — actual pricing depends on square footage, condition, and location, and the instant booking page or a free custom quote provides the exact number.
Do I need a deep cleaning before starting recurring cleaning service?
It's recommended but not required. A deep clean establishes a fresh baseline so that recurring visits — weekly, biweekly, or every four weeks — can maintain the home efficiently rather than needing to tackle heavy buildup each time.
What's the difference between deep cleaning and move-out cleaning?
Deep cleaning focuses on detailed cleaning of a lived-in home, while move-in/move-out cleaning is more intensive, addressing empty units, inside all cabinets and closets, and full move-out or landlord inspection standards. Move-out cleaning typically starts higher, around $355 for a small apartment.
Is deep cleaning available same-day in LA or OC?
Same-day cleaning is subject to availability and doesn't follow the standard price list since it depends on scheduling and service type. Call 424-484-0180 (LA) or 949-541-9852 (OC) directly for a same-day quote and to check current availability.
