Prices are pre-tax. Applicable Minnesota and local sales tax for your address is added at invoice, as its own line. Where your home lands inside the range comes down to size and condition, and that's the next section.

Where your number lands

Size and condition set the price. Your zip code doesn't.

Two houses on the same street can land at very different numbers. Here's what actually moves the needle.

What moves it up

  • More square footage, more bathrooms
  • Years since the last deep clean. Buildup takes time to reverse
  • Pets: hair and dander work into everything soft
  • Inside-the-appliance work, like oven and fridge interiors
  • Cleaning around a furnished home instead of an empty one

What brings it down

  • A smaller footprint and fewer bathrooms
  • A professional clean within the last few months
  • Empty rooms. They clean faster than furnished ones
  • Upkeep visits after the first reset. Rescue costs more than maintenance

That's why anyone quoting one flat number sight-unseen is guessing. We'd rather show you the honest range here, then give you your exact price in writing after we've walked the home with you.

The math nobody shows you

Why the cheapest quote often costs the most.

Here's the cycle nobody prices in. The cheap crew starts strong. Then corners start appearing, and soon you're back to interviewing strangers, re-explaining your home, and re-doing work you already paid for. Every swap costs you the thing you hired them to save: your hours.

We're not the cheapest in the Twin Cities, and that's on purpose. Every Guardian is background-checked, trained to one standard, and photographs the work every visit. Stop interviewing cleaners. Hire the crew that's still going to be here next year.

What the price includes, every time

The honest part

Sometimes the cheaper cleaner is the right call.

If all you need is a light weekly once-over and you don't mind checking the work yourself, a solo hourly cleaner can be a fine fit. No hard feelings. That's a real lane, it's just not ours.

Our range earns its keep on the work that has to be right the first time: deep resets, a move-out with the whole deposit riding on the landlord's walkthrough, the oven nobody's opened up in years. That's the work people put in our reviews.

Fair questions about price.

Is the price hourly or flat?

Flat, by the job. You'll know the full number before we start, in writing. No meter running, no day-of surprises, and nothing gets added without your approval first.

Why a range instead of one price?

Because size and condition ARE the price. A townhome that gets regular upkeep and a big house with five years of buildup are different jobs. The free Gold Star assessment is how your number gets exact.

Do you charge more in Edina than in Burnsville?

No. The home sets the price, not the address. Eagan, Burnsville, Edina, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie: same standard, same math.

Is tax included?

Prices are pre-tax. Applicable Minnesota and local sales tax for your service address is added at invoice, as its own line, so you can see exactly what's what.

What if something's not right after a clean?

Tell us within 48 hours and we'll come back and make it right, free. That guarantee is in writing, not a handshake.

Do you do recurring cleans?

Yes. Most homes start with a reset, then move to a schedule that fits. Your recurring price goes in the same written plan, before you commit to anything.

When is a cheaper cleaner the better call?

When you need a light, frequent once-over and you're fine inspecting the work yourself. If that's your home, we'll tell you so at the assessment.

PS: if you're hunting for the lowest bid in town, we're honestly not your crew. If you want a real number, in writing, from people who photograph their work, the walkthrough is free and takes 20 minutes. Book your free assessment here.
