The short answer
Luxora Clean prices a deep clean by the hour, not by a flat fee. The rate is $45 per hour and the minimum is 3 hours, so nothing is booked below $135. The minimum is a floor, not an estimate: a booking bills at least 3 hours even when the home is done sooner, and above it the total is simply the number of hours your home needs. A smaller, maintained home sits near that floor. A larger family home with years of build-up runs to the top of the range.
Standard Clean
2.5 hour minimum
Deep Clean
3 hour minimum
Move-In / Out
6 hour minimum
The deep clean sits in the middle of those three for a reason. It reaches much further than a regular visit, but it does not carry the empty-home scope of a move-out clean, where every cabinet, closet and appliance interior gets opened up.
What a deep clean includes
A standard clean keeps a home that is already in good shape looking sharp. It covers dusting and vacuuming in all rooms, kitchen counters and appliance exteriors, fully sanitized bathrooms, vacuumed and mopped floors, wiped and disinfected surfaces, and trash removed with fresh bin liners.
A deep clean does all of that, then adds the work that only gets done once or twice a year:
- Baseboards and light fixtures
- Window sills, tracks and blinds
- A detailed grout and tile scrub
- Behind and under all furniture
A deep clean is a once or twice a year job, not a monthly one. It resets the home, and a recurring clean is what holds that result afterward.
What makes a deep clean cost more
The size of the home
More square footage and more bathrooms mean more time. Kitchens and bathrooms are the slowest rooms in any house, and a home with three of each takes noticeably longer than a condo.
How long since the last deep clean
A home that has never had one takes the longest. Dry Calgary air, chinook dust and a long winter spent indoors leave a film on sills, vents and baseboards that has to be lifted rather than wiped.
Hard water and pet hair
Hard water spots on glass and fixtures take extra time to descale. Pet hair works its way into baseboards and upholstery. Both are common in Calgary homes, and both add minutes to the job.
Add-ons
Inside the fridge is $30, inside the oven is $30, and pantry or closet organizing is $45. Add-ons are quoted on top of the base clean and can be split across visits.
Two homes of the same size can quote differently for exactly these reasons. A tidy home in Mahogany that gets cleaned regularly is a shorter job than a comparable one that has been shut up through a long Calgary winter with the heat running the whole time.
Real times from a Calgary cleaner
An hourly rate only means something once you know the hours. Most deep cleans Sandy books run 3 to 4 hours. A smaller home sits near the 3 hour minimum, and three and four bedroom homes finish nearer the top of that range.
That is the honest version of deep clean pricing. A quote based on your actual home beats an average every time, and you get a clear number before any work starts. Sandy gives free quotes, usually within two hours.
The most accurate quote comes from a few details: the size of the home, how many bathrooms it has, whether there are pets, and when it was last deep cleaned. Send those and the quote comes back with a time estimate, not just a price.
How to keep the cost down
The cheapest deep clean is the one you do not need again for a long while. Most new Luxora clients start with a deep clean as a one-time reset, then move to a bi-weekly schedule. Because the home stays maintained, each recurring visit is shorter and cheaper than starting over from scratch.
If you want add-ons, spread them out. Inside the oven on one visit and the fridge on the next keeps any single bill smaller, and the work still gets done.
Timing is worth a thought too. Spring and the weeks around July 1 are common times to book a reset, since month-end and July 1 are when Calgary moves happen, so ask early if you want one of those dates.
