How Much Does Deep Cleaning Cost in Madison, WI?

If you live in Madison, WI and you’re wondering “How much does a deep clean cost?” this guide will give you clear, transparent answers – not vague ranges. And, hey this is coming from the owner...

I run Shiny Go Clean Madison, and after completing hundreds of deep cleans across Madison, Fitchburg, Middleton, Sun Prairie, and the UW area, I’ve learned exactly what drives price, what homeowners often overlook, and how to avoid surprise charges.

Think of this post like a behind-the-scenes tour: how pricing works, real case studies, and what you can expect before booking.

Deep Cleaning Pricing in Madison, WI

Here’s the simplest way to understand it:

Base Pricing

Home Type	Starting Price
1 BR / 1 BA	$185.27
2 BR / 2 BA	$253.58
Larger homes	Based on size, bathrooms, buildup, and add-ons

These are flat rates for first-time customers in Madison and surrounding areas.  No downtown vs. Fitchburg vs. Middleton pricing differences.

What Affects Deep Cleaning Costs the Most?

After cleaning across Madison for years, I’ve found three factors change price more than anything else:

1. Dirtiness Level

This is the biggest price driver. A home that’s a 3/10 clean is a different project than a home that’s an 8/10 with buildup, stains, grime, or neglected areas.

2. Pet Hair

Pet-heavy homes take more time because of:

• Embedded fur

• Odor removal

• Extra vacuuming

• More detail work on upholstery and floors

3. Size of Home

Bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and traffic areas directly shape the workload.

Additional factors:

• Buildup in showers, kitchens, or baseboards

• Number of bathrooms

• Move-in / move-out vs lived-in

• Optional add-ons like carpet steam cleaning

Real Case Study from Madison, WI

• Condition: 5/10 on our dirt scale (1 = spotless, 10 = heavy buildup)

• Duration: ~4 hours

• Price: $253.58

• Result: The home looked brand new after the cleaning.

The client was pleased and is now considering recurring cleanings.

Before and After Highlights

Basic cleaning:

• Floors

• Surfaces

• Countertops

• Bathroom essentials (toilet, sink, shower)

Deep cleaning adds:

• Light fixtures

• Switch plates

• Vents and fans

• Up to 10 windows

• Cabinet exteriors

This combination is what leaves the “brand new” effect most clients are surprised by.

Common Mistakes Madison Homeowners Make When Comparing Quotes

1. Not sharing accurate condition photos

A home may look fine in one room but have heavy buildup elsewhere. If we discover severe buildup after arrival, we apply our overtime:

• Additional discounted hourly rate: $55–$70/hr

• We determine this within the first 90 minutes

Transparent communication prevents surprises for everyone.

2. Assuming all “deep cleans” mean the same thing

Many companies simply do a “longer regular clean.” Our deep clean is a true detail reset that includes fixtures, baseboards, vents, windows, and more.

Kitchens take the longest, but its totally worth it for the deep cleans.

Why We Use Flat-Rate Pricing

Flat rates help you:

• Know your exact cost upfront

• Avoid feeling “rushed” by hourly cleaners

• Compare apples to apples

• 
  

On our end, flat-rate pricing works because we’ve cleaned enough homes in Madison to know how long each project should take on average.

What Drives Our Internal Costs

Here’s what you’re really paying for:

• Labor – the biggest cost

• Travel time across Dane County

• Product usage

• Time variability for older or dirtier homes

• Rework risk if the home needs more than expected

This is why accurate condition photos are golden.

Notice how the tiles are shining and our Madison team did a great job in tidying up the tub.

Madison-Specific Factors That Change Price

1. Older Homes Near UW

These often have:

• More buildup

• Worn materials

• Heavier dust

• Extra detail work

2. Newer Developments (Sun Prairie, Fitchburg, Middleton Hills)

These usually require less labor and finish faster.
