Apartment cleaning in Miami is priced by the size and condition of the unit, not by the word “apartment.” At Miami House Cleaning, a regular clean of a studio under 1,000 sq ft starts at $156, and a deep clean or a move-out clean of that same studio starts at $256. Bedroom count matters less than you would think. Bathrooms, hard-floor area, glass and how long it has been since the last real clean are what move the number.

This guide is for people who live in an apartment — a rented one-bedroom in Edgewater, a studio in Brickell, a two-bed in Miami Beach — and want to know what to book, what it costs, and what their building is going to ask for before anyone can come up.

What the base price actually covers in a small unit

A standard house cleaning of an apartment is the maintenance clean: kitchen counters and exterior appliance surfaces, sink, stovetop, bathroom fixtures and glass, dusting of reachable surfaces, mirrors, interior glass you can reach, and vacuuming and mopping the hard floors. In an apartment that is a tight, repeatable scope, which is why a studio has a published starting price at all.

A deep cleaning adds the parts that collect buildup rather than daily dust: grout lines, shower glass and door tracks, baseboards, behind and under what can be moved safely, cabinet fronts, and sliding-glass-door tracks. In Miami the humidity is the reason this matters in a unit that is otherwise small — a bathroom with no exterior window and a bath fan vented into the hallway holds moisture long after you have left for work, and that is where soap film and mildew staining start.

Studio vs. one-bedroom vs. two-bedroom: what actually changes

Going from a studio to a one-bedroom adds closet and floor area and usually more glass. Going from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom usually adds a second full bathroom, and that is the single biggest jump in scope inside an apartment — a second shower, second toilet, second set of glass and fixtures. A second bedroom on its own is comparatively quick.

A real example from our published case studies: Tim, in a two-bed, two-bath Surfside apartment of roughly 1,030 sq ft, booked a full deep clean and asked about his floor-to-ceiling windows, which he assumed would be out of scope. Cleaner Teresa worked the unit room by room and did the window glass as well. Competing quotes he had gathered for the same deep clean ran $25–$200 higher. He was home the whole time and said he barely noticed her working.

On glass, the honest line: we clean interior glass, slider tracks, and exterior glass that can be reached safely from inside the unit or the balcony. Exterior glass on a high floor that needs rigging or a swing stage is a licensed height-access job handled by the building’s contracted window crew, not a housekeeping crew.

Regular, deep, or move-out — which one does your apartment need?

Someone has cleaned it within the last month or two: book a regular clean.
First time with us, or it has been a season or more: book a deep clean. A first visit on a unit that has not had a thorough clean in six months is a deep clean whatever you call it, and starting there is cheaper than paying for a regular clean that cannot reach the buildup.
You are handing keys back: book a move-in/move-out clean, and book it for after the furniture is gone. An empty unit is the only way cabinet interiors, closet shelving, baseboards and the floor under where the sofa was can actually be cleaned, and those are exactly the places a Florida landlord checks at the walkthrough.

Recurring or one-time for a unit this size?

Frequency is one of the factors that sets your rate — a unit on a recurring schedule never accumulates the buildup that makes a clean take longer, so weekly, biweekly and monthly visits are priced differently from a one-off. For a studio or one-bedroom, biweekly is the schedule most of our apartment clients settle on; monthly works if you are tidy day to day and mainly want the bathroom and kitchen reset properly. We also walk through the other price factors in 5 things that affect your house cleaning price in Miami.

Two reviews on our reviews page are filed under “Apartment Cleaning · Miami, FL” and both are from repeat clients — one reads, “My apartment was left spotless all the times I have used their service.” That is the recurring case in one sentence: the second and third visits are the easy ones.

If you rent, the deposit is the reason to pay for the clean

Under Florida law a landlord who intends to keep part of your deposit has to notify you in writing, and a dated professional cleaning receipt plus photos of the empty unit is the documentation that makes a dispute winnable. Our full room-by-room list is in the ultimate move-out cleaning checklist for Miami renters.

What renters tell us afterward is mostly about the stress, not the surfaces. One client had to leave a rental on short notice and said he was “stressing about getting it cleaned to avoid excessive charges”; another wrote that her apartment “was cleaner than when it was presented to me to move in.” Both reviews are published on our reviews page.

Before you book: five things your building decides for you

In an apartment you are not the only one who has to say yes. Ask your front desk or property manager about these, because they set the appointment window more than your own calendar does:

Certificate of insurance. Most South Florida buildings will not badge in a vendor without one. We can provide it — just tell us when you book so it is on file before the day.
Service elevator and loading dock. Many buildings release the freight elevator only in set windows and not on weekends. For a move-out, reserve it the day you set your move date.
Key or fob handoff. If you will be at work, confirm whether the front desk is allowed to hold a key or escort a cleaner up, and whose name has to be on the list.
Valet trash and chute rules. Buildings differ on what can go down the chute, what has to go to a trash room and what hours the valet service runs.
Balcony restrictions. If your building prohibits hosing down a balcony — runoff lands on the neighbor below — say so up front. Balcony floors and railings get cleaned by hand instead.

If you live in a tower rather than a garden-style building, the logistics are the whole story, and we cover them in detail in condo and high-rise cleaning in Miami: what actually differs.

What we do not do

So there is no surprise on the day: we clean surfaces, appliances, cabinets, bathrooms, glass and floors. We do not remove junk, debris, bulk waste or furniture, and we do not haul anything away — that is a separate licensed trade. If a previous tenant left belongings behind, those need to be gone before the crew arrives or the unit cannot be cleaned properly. We also do not do exterior high-rise glass, as above.

Questions Miami apartment residents ask

How much does apartment cleaning cost in Miami?

A regular clean of a studio under 1,000 sq ft starts at $156 with Miami House Cleaning. A deep clean or a move-out clean of the same studio starts at $256. One-bedroom and two-bedroom units are priced from there by square footage, service type and frequency. Call 754-354-6072 for the exact number for your unit, and for the 10% call-in offer on a first clean.

How long does cleaning a one-bedroom apartment take?

It depends on condition and on how many bathrooms the unit has, not on the bedroom count — a deep clean of a lived-in one-bedroom takes substantially longer than a regular maintenance clean of the same unit. We give a time estimate with your quote rather than a blanket figure.

Do I need to be home?

No. Plenty of our apartment clients are at work during the visit, and others prefer to be there — both are normal. If you will be out, sort the key or fob handoff with your front desk first, and tell us who to ask for.

Can you clean my apartment tomorrow?

Sometimes. Same-day and next-day cleanings are available depending on the schedule and, in a managed building, on whether access can be arranged that fast. Call 754-354-6072 to check what is open.

Can you clean an apartment I rent out short-term?

Yes — turnovers are quoted per property rather than from a published starting price, because the unit size, linen situation and turnaround window all change the job. Guest laundry, dishes, trash-out and restocking toiletries are optional paid add-ons rather than part of the base clean, and extended-stay and mid-stay cleanings are available.

Do you clean apartments outside Miami?

Yes. We serve Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, including Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach and Jupiter.
