In Miami, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house has a published row in three different JAS price tables: a Standard clean from $225 on a 3–4 hour visit, a deep clean from $530 over 5–6 hours, and a move-out clean from $625 over 7–10 hours. Which number is yours depends on which job you are buying.
Aggregators answer this with a national average per bedroom, which is the one number nobody actually pays. Below is what the three tables say — and then the part no average can give you: what changes the hours on a 3-bedroom here.
The three published rows for a 3-bedroom home
Starting prices per visit, with the duration each table publishes beside them. Every row belongs to its service page and is linked there — a blog post does not out-rank the page that publishes the number.
- Standard clean · 3 BR · 2 bath · 3–4 hr · from $225
- Deep clean · 3 BR · 2 bath · 5–6 hr · from $530
- Move-in / out · 3 BR · 2 bath · 7–10 hr · from $625
Under each of those tables sits the same note: “Final price comes from the booking form. Add-ons (inside fridge, balcony, laundry, etc.) are priced separately.” The row is where a 3-bedroom starts, not where it lands.
What the Standard table says about size, and what it does not
Read down the Standard table’s price column and something odd happens: $225 sits on the Studio · 1 bath row, the 1 BR · 1 bath row, the 2 BR · 2 bath row and the 3 BR · 2 bath row, while 4 BR+ · 3 bath is published as $225+. What does move down the table is the duration — 2 hr for a studio, 3–4 hr for a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home.
That is not a table that thinks all homes are alike. It is a starting-price column plus an honest signal of the work. The residential page states it flatly: the biggest driver is size, because bedroom and bathroom count sets the baseline and bathrooms and the kitchen are where most of the labor lives. A 3-bed 2-bath house in Westchester and a one-bedroom in Brickell need very different amounts of time even on the identical 28-item checklist. Your house’s exact number comes from the booking form, before you confirm.
“A 3-bedroom isn’t priced by the bedrooms. It’s priced by the hours, and the hours live in the bathrooms and the kitchen.”
“But my house is 2,000 square feet”
None of the three residential home-cleaning tables asks for square footage. They ask for bedrooms and bathrooms, because that is what predicts hours. Among JAS residential services, post-construction cleaning is quoted by area, starting at $650 for the first 1,000 sq ft, because construction dust is distributed by surface rather than room. Commercial office work also uses floor area, but it belongs to a separate pricing table.
The deep-clean table shows what a room actually costs: 3 BR · 2 bath is $530 across 5–6 hours, 3 BR · 3 bath is $595 across 6–8 hours. Subtract those two published rows and a third full bathroom is $65 and up to two more hours — grout, glass, fixtures and hard-water residue, none of which is floor area. Two 2,000 sq ft houses with different bath counts are two different jobs. The full walk down that table lives in how much a deep cleaning costs.
What the row does not include
Appliance interiors and windows are priced separately unless your confirmed scope includes them. On a deep clean: empty refrigerator $65, refrigerator with food $85, inside oven $65, interior windows from $10 per pane. On a move-out: empty refrigerator $65, oven $65, the oven + refrigerator bundle $115, interior windows $10 per pane. On a 3-bedroom house, windows are the line that surprises people — a pane is a pane whether the house is large or small.
On the money side, the rules are published: nothing is charged at booking, and after each completed visit we issue an invoice for the service delivered. Cancellations are free up to 24h before and $25 inside 24h. New bookings need 24–48 hours’ lead time so a team can be confirmed for your arrival window, and eligible completed visits come with a CleanCheck report.
What Miami adds to a 3-bedroom
Condition, which here is climate
The deep-clean page puts it in one line: humidity, salt air and year-round pollen mean buildup happens faster here than in drier climates. On a 3-bedroom that is the difference between a visit at the bottom of its published range and one at the top. Salt films sliders and metal fixtures; humidity turns grout and window sills into surfaces you work rather than pass over; and the A/C runs twelve months a year, so vents never get an off-season.
The season, which here is not spring
“Spring cleaning” is an imported calendar. The local rhythm is hurricane season, June through November: beforehand you clear balconies and clean the tracks of windows about to stay shut; afterward there is the fine grit that worked in while the house was sealed. That is why the reset on a Miami 3-bedroom tends to land at the start and end of those months rather than in March.
House or tower: same row, different day
A single-family 3-bedroom in Kendall or Westchester usually adds a garage, a patio slider and a lot more baseboard than a condo with the same bedroom count. A 3-bedroom in a tower adds paperwork instead: front-desk registration, a certificate of insurance on file before a crew passes the lobby, an elevator reservation, quiet hours. The residential page asks for exactly that at booking — tell us if there is an elevator reservation or front-desk check-in. None of it is in the table: the published price factors are size, condition, frequency and the approved-ZIP adjustment.
What changes is who handles the paperwork. JAS carries $2,000,000 general liability coverage with every cleaner background-checked; the certificate is requested by email with “COI” in the subject, and most are returned within 2 business hours. The building side of the job is covered in depth in our apartment and condo guide.
The two levers you actually control
Frequency. HomeCare is recurring cleaning for customers planning at least 3 cleanings: weekly saves 15%, every two weeks saves 10%, and every four weeks uses the Standard rate. The residential page calls every two weeks “the rhythm most Miami homes settle into,” and a 3-bedroom held on that cadence stays near the floor of its 3–4 hour range instead of drifting toward needing a deep clean.
Location. There is an area adjustment published down to the ZIP: from the base rate up to 20%, on approved operational ZIPs only — never inferred from income, neighborhood, or a similar-looking ZIP. The band-by-band list lives in our Miami house cleaning cost guide, which owns that fact.
Quick answers
How much does it cost to clean a 2,000 sq ft house?
None of the home price tables asks for square footage — they ask for bedrooms and bathrooms, because that is what predicts hours. The only JAS service quoted by area is post-construction, starting at $650 for the first 1,000 sq ft. For a lived-in 2,000 sq ft house, the number that moves the visit is how many full bathrooms it has.
Is a 3-bed 2-bath cheaper than a 3-bed 3-bath?
On the published deep-clean ladder, yes: 3 BR · 2 bath is $530 across 5–6 hours and 3 BR · 3 bath is $595 across 6–8 hours. That is $65 apart, subtracting two published rows — and the gap is one more full bathroom, not floor space.
Why does the Standard table show $225 on almost every row?
Because that column is the starting price, not the final one. What moves down the Standard table is the duration — 2 hr on a studio, 3–4 hr on a 3 BR · 2 bath — and the note under every table says it plainly: final price comes from the booking form, with add-ons priced separately.
Does a 3-bedroom condo cost more than a 3-bedroom house?
The published row is the same. What changes is the day: a tower may want front-desk registration, a certificate of insurance on file, an elevator reservation and quiet hours, and a single-family home usually adds a garage, a patio slider and more baseboard. The published price factors stay size, condition, frequency and the approved-ZIP adjustment.
Do I pay anything when I book a 3-bedroom clean?
Nothing is charged at booking; after each completed visit we issue an invoice for the service delivered. Cancellations are free up to 24h before and $25 inside 24h, and new bookings need 24–48 hours of lead time so a team can be confirmed for your arrival window. Eligible completed visits come with a CleanCheck report.
The short version
A 3-bedroom, 2-bath house in Miami has three published starting rows: $225 for a Standard clean on a 3–4 hour visit, $530 for a deep clean over 5–6 hours, and $625 for a move-out over 7–10 hours. Appliance interiors and windows are priced separately, and those prices are published too. Square footage never enters it — bathrooms, condition and the climate decide the hours, and the booking form decides the final number.
