Home deep cleaning cost in India in 2026 ranges from ₹1,800 for a 1BHK to ₹7,000 for a 3BHK, with empty (move-in) homes costing 15-25% less than furnished ones. A standalone kitchen deep clean is ₹1,000-2,200 and a bathroom ₹400-900 each. Below are real 2026 rates by BHK, by city, and what each package includes.
How much does home deep cleaning cost in India in 2026?
A full furnished-home deep clean in 2026 costs ₹1,800-3,000 for a 1BHK, ₹2,800-4,500 for a 2BHK, and ₹4,000-7,000 for a 3BHK. Empty homes before move-in cost less because there is no furniture to clean around. Prices include manpower, machines and basic chemicals, but glass-facade or pest add-ons are extra.
| Home size | Furnished (₹) | Empty / move-in (₹) | Crew & hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 RK / Studio | 1,200 – 2,000 | 1,000 – 1,600 | 1-2 people, 2-3 hrs |

What does a deep cleaning package include?
A standard deep clean covers floor scrubbing, kitchen degreasing, bathroom descaling, dusting of all surfaces, cobweb removal and window-glass cleaning. It does not normally include sofa shampooing, mattress cleaning, balcony grills, or exterior glass — those are priced as add-ons. Always confirm the checklist before booking.
- Included: floor mopping and scrubbing, kitchen platform and tile degreasing, bathroom descaling, dusting, cobweb removal, fan and switchboard wipe, internal window glass
- Usually extra: sofa shampoo, mattress cleaning, carpet shampoo, refrigerator and oven interior, balcony, exterior glass, terrace
- Not included: pest control, painting touch-ups, garbage disposal of large items
How much do deep cleaning add-ons cost?
Add-ons are charged per item or per area. Sofa shampooing costs ₹300-500 per seat, a mattress ₹250-600, a refrigerator interior ₹300-700, and a chimney degrease ₹600-1,200. Bundling add-ons with a full home clean usually costs 10-15% less than booking them separately later.
| Add-on | Unit | Typical price (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa shampooing | Per seat | 300 – 500 |
| Mattress cleaning | Per piece | 250 – 600 |

How do deep cleaning prices vary by city?
Metro rates run 20-35% above tier-2 cities. A 2BHK furnished deep clean costs ₹3,500-4,500 in Mumbai and Bangalore, but ₹2,500-3,200 in Lucknow or Indore. Higher metro labour wages and travel time explain most of the gap, and commission-based platforms add their own markup on top of the cleaner crew rate.
| City | 1BHK (₹) | 2BHK (₹) | 3BHK (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mumbai | 2,400 – 3,000 | 3,500 – 4,500 | 5,500 – 7,000 |
| Delhi | 2,000 – 2,800 | 3,200 – 4,200 | 4,800 – 6,500 |
| Bangalore | 2,200 – 3,000 | 3,400 – 4,500 | 5,000 – 6,800 |
| Hyderabad | 1,900 – 2,600 | 2,900 – 4,000 | 4,200 – 6,000 |
| Chennai | 1,900 – 2,600 | 2,900 – 4,000 | 4,200 – 6,000 |
| Kolkata | 1,800 – 2,400 | 2,700 – 3,800 | 4,000 – 5,800 |
| Lucknow / Indore | 1,600 – 2,200 | 2,500 – 3,200 | 3,500 – 5,000 |
Deep cleaning vs regular cleaning: what is the difference?
Regular cleaning is daily upkeep — sweeping, mopping and dusting — done by household help for ₹2,000-5,000 a month. Deep cleaning is an intensive, machine-driven one-time job that reaches grease, scale and grime regular cleaning never touches. Most homes need a deep clean every 4-6 months, or before move-in and festivals.
How to book deep cleaning without overpaying
- Share your exact carpet area or BHK and whether the home is furnished — vague briefs lead to inflated quotes.
- Ask for the written checklist and crew size; a true 2BHK deep clean needs at least 2 people for 4+ hours.
- Confirm whether chemicals, machines and water are included or billed separately.
- Decide add-ons upfront and bundle them for a discount.
- Inspect bathroom corners, kitchen tile grouting and fan blades before paying — these reveal a rushed job.
For Diwali I compared three quotes for my 2BHK. A managed app quoted ₹5,200. On Solve24 I found a verified cleaning crew rated 4.7, agreed on ₹3,600 directly, and added sofa shampoo for ₹400 a seat. Same work, no commission on top.
