## Overview

A Navratri house cleaning for a 2BHK in India costs ₹2,500–₹6,000 in 2026 for a full deep clean, plus ₹500–₹1,500 for a dedicated puja room deep clean. Book by September 20 for the October Navratri — cleaners get booked 5–7 days out before any major festival. The Navratri cleaning has a specific priority order: puja room first, kitchen second (for fasting food prep), then bedrooms and common areas.

## The Navratri-specific cleaning priority

Unlike a general deep clean, Navratri cleaning follows a religious priority order. The puja room and kitchen come first because they will host the 9-day rituals and fasting food preparation.

- Priority 1 — Puja room: fresh clean, new cloth for altar, polish deities
- Priority 2 — Kitchen: fasting-ready, separate utensils cleaned, no onion / garlic residue
- Priority 3 — Guest-facing rooms: living, dining
- Priority 4 — Bedrooms and study
- Priority 5 — Balcony and terrace

## Frequently asked

### How much does Navratri house cleaning cost in India 2026?

2BHK deep clean ₹2,500–₹5,000. Add ₹500–₹1,500 for puja room deep clean. Add ₹900–₹2,000 for kitchen fasting-ready deep clean. Full package ₹3,500–₹7,500.

### When should I book cleaning before Navratri?

By September 20 for the October Navratri. Cleaners get booked 5–7 days out before major festivals; last-minute means 20–30% premium and lower-rated cleaners.

### Should I get the puja room cleaned separately?

Yes — it needs careful handling of deities and polish work that regular cleaners rush through. Ask specifically for a "puja room deep clean" as an add-on (₹500–₹1,500).

### How long does a full Navratri deep clean take?

2 cleaners for 5–7 hours for a 2BHK. Book a morning slot so cleaning is done by evening puja time. Larger 3BHK homes need 7–9 hours or 3 cleaners.

### Can I do the puja room cleaning myself and hire only for the rest?

Yes — many families do. Hire ₹2,500–₹5,000 for the full house deep clean and do the puja room cleaning yourself the day before Navratri starts.
