Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does house cleaning cost?

There is no rate card. Every home is priced by a free, personalized flat quote built from three things: the size of the home, the condition it is in, and the scope you want, from a routine visit to a full deep clean. Tell us those three things and we send a firm number within one business day, before anything is booked, with no obligation and no surprise charges afterward. Recurring weekly or bi-weekly schedules earn the best per-visit rate. Before you ask for one, you can read how our house cleaning pricing works and what moves a quote up or down.

What is the going rate for house cleaning in Florida?

Rates across Florida vary widely by region, by company, and by what a visit actually includes, so a single statewide figure is not a useful guide for a home in Spring Hill or Weeki Wachee. Two quotes that look alike can cover very different scopes: one may include supplies, equipment, and an insured company behind the crew, and another may not. We do not publish a rate table because it would mislead more people than it helped. Instead, we quote each home as a flat price per visit from its size, condition, and scope, so the number you compare is the number you pay and you know exactly what it buys.

How much should I pay a house cleaner per hour?

An hourly figure on its own tells you very little, because the real cost is the rate multiplied by the hours, and the hours are the part you cannot see in advance. A low hourly rate can end up costing more than a higher one if the visit runs long, and it rewards slow work rather than good work. Hourly rates also often leave out supplies and equipment. That is why we do not quote by the hour. You get one flat price for a defined scope, supplies included, and that price does not move if the visit finishes early: we do not pad the time.

Do you charge by the hour or by the job?

By the job, never by the clock. We quote a flat price up front so you know the number before we arrive, and that is the number you pay. If a clean finishes faster than estimated, we do not pad the time. If genuine extra scope turns up mid-visit, such as a room in worse shape than described, we pause and check with you before continuing rather than adding to the bill afterward.

How much is a 2-hour clean?

We do not sell cleaning by the hour, so there is no two-hour price. What we can describe is what a shorter visit usually covers. A routine clean of a maintained home focuses on the rooms you live in: kitchen counters, sink, stovetop, and appliance exteriors; bathrooms, including tubs, showers, toilets, sinks, and mirrors; dusting in bedrooms and living areas; and all accessible floors swept, vacuumed, and mopped, with trash removed and bins relined. How long that takes depends on the size and condition of the home and on how many cleaners we send, so we quote the scope as a flat price rather than promising a clock time.

What will a cleaner do in 3 hours?

It depends on the home, so we scope visits by task rather than by the clock. As a rule, a longer visit moves from maintenance into detail work. On top of the routine list of kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, and floors, that means baseboards dusted and wiped, door frames, light switches, and outlet covers, vents and blinds, window sills, cabinet exteriors, a degreased backsplash and stovetop, bathroom tile and fixture detail, and behind and under furniture where it can be moved. You can see the full deep clean checklist on its service page. Tell us what matters most in your home and we will build the scope around it and quote it as one flat price.

What makes the price go up or down?

Three things: how big the home is, the shape it is in, and what you ask us to do. Square footage and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms set the baseline. Heavy buildup or a home that has not been professionally cleaned in a while takes longer than a maintained one, so condition can move a quote more than size alone. Recurring weekly or bi-weekly cleans get the best per-visit rate because the home stays in good shape between visits. Add-ons such as the inside of the oven or fridge are priced individually and folded into one total.

Do you provide housekeeping services, or only one-time cleaning?

Both. Recurring housekeeping is the core of the business: a weekly or bi-weekly visit that works the same room-by-room checklist every time, so kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and floors stay at a steady baseline instead of swinging between just cleaned and overdue. Monthly visits are available too; they take a little longer because more builds up between them. If your home has not been professionally cleaned in a while, we usually suggest a one-time deep clean first, then routine housekeeping to maintain it. The routine clean page lists what every visit includes, and a one-time clean is always an option if a schedule does not suit you.

Do you offer recurring discounts?

Yes. Weekly and bi-weekly schedules carry our best per-visit rate, because a home that is cleaned regularly never slips far between visits and each visit stays efficient. Monthly service is available too; each visit takes more time than a weekly or bi-weekly one, and the quote reflects that. Tell us the rhythm you want when you request a quote and the number you receive will already reflect it.

Is the quote free?

Yes. Quotes are free, with no obligation to book, and we respond within one business day. The number you approve is the number you pay, so there are no surprise charges after the visit. When you compare quotes, compare scope as well as price: ours includes supplies and equipment, and BroomShine is insured.

How do I get a quote?

Request a quote online at any hour, or call (352) 890-1183 Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Either way you will hear back within one business day. Have three things ready: the size of the home (bedrooms, bathrooms, and rough square footage), its current condition, and the service you want, whether a one-time deep clean, a recurring routine clean, or a move-out. That is enough for a firm flat quote.

When do I pay?

After the visit, once the work is done and you have seen it. The amount due is the flat quote you approved, with no supply fee and no travel fee inside our service area. If your booking needs a deposit (see below), it comes off that total. If you add scope on the day, we confirm the change with you before it goes on the bill.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Please give us at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Our team is booked days ahead, so a last-minute change leaves an empty spot another client could have had. If last-minute changes happen more than once, we'll ask for a $50 deposit to hold future bookings. It goes toward your cleaning.

Do you require a deposit?

Usually not. We ask for a $50 deposit for bookings made far in advance, and after more than one last-minute change. It's applied to your cleaning total, so it never costs you extra.

Should my first visit be a deep clean?

For most homes, yes. If the home has not had professional cleaning recently, we strongly recommend starting with a deep clean before recurring service begins. It covers everything in a routine visit plus the detail work that maintenance visits skip: baseboards, vents, blinds, door frames and switches, cabinet exteriors, a degreased stovetop and backsplash, bathroom tile and fixtures, and behind and under accessible furniture. We dust and wipe baseboards. Heavy stains may need paint. Most deep cleans take 4 to 8 hours depending on home size and condition, and we quote a realistic window up front. It is a bigger first visit, but it gives every routine visit after it a clean baseline to maintain, so those visits stay efficient and the home stays consistent. If your home is already well maintained, say so when you request a quote and we will recommend the right starting point.

Do you bring supplies?

Yes. We bring our own products and equipment to every visit, so there is no supply fee and nothing for you to stock or set out. If you prefer eco-conscious or low-fragrance products, for allergies, sensitivities, or pets, say so when you book and we will use them.

Do you clean homes with pets?

Yes. Pets are common in the homes we clean, so mention them when you book. Tell us how many, where they will be during the visit, and whether any room should stay closed. Pet-area detail is an available add-on with focused cleaning and deodorizing around litter areas, beds, and food stations. A deep clean already includes whole-home deodorizing for pet and cooking odors. If a pet or anyone in the home is sensitive to scents, ask for our low-fragrance or eco-friendly products, which we use on request. If you have a concern about a particular product and your animal, raise it when you book and we will plan around it.

Do I need to be home?

No. You do not need to be there for the visit. Provide an entry method, such as a lockbox or a garage code, and we lock up when we leave. If you would rather be home, that is fine too; you can walk the crew through anything you want handled a particular way. Either way the same room-by-room checklist applies, and you can reach us at (352) 890-1183 during the visit with questions.

Who will come to clean, and will it be the same person each time?

Everyone who works a BroomShine visit is trained by our owner, Adriana Adrian, and follows the same room-by-room checklist, so the result does not depend on who is scheduled. Larger homes and bigger jobs get more than one cleaner so the work stays thorough without stretching into your whole day; for the same scope, two cleaners finish faster and one takes longer, and we recommend whichever fits your home and timing. Your quote covers the visit either way. On recurring schedules we aim for crew consistency. Occasional substitutions happen for time off, and the same checklist and standard apply to every visit.

Do you offer house cleaning near me, and is there a travel fee?

We are based in Brooksville, FL 34614 and clean homes everywhere within a 45-minute drive of that ZIP. That covers Spring Hill, Weeki Wachee, Hernando Beach, Masaryktown, and Ridge Manor in Hernando County; Homosassa, Lecanto, Crystal River, Floral City, and Beverly Hills in Citrus County; and Aripeka and Hudson in Pasco County. There is no travel fee and no distance surcharge anywhere inside that area; your quote comes only from the size of the home, its condition, and the scope. The service area list shows every town by county, and if yours is not on it, ask; the 45-minute drive reaches further than the list.

Is there a maid service near me in Hernando County?

Yes. BroomShine is a licensed and insured, family-run house cleaning and maid service based in Brooksville, FL 34614, and we clean homes across Hernando County and everywhere else within a 45-minute drive of that ZIP. Around here, maid service and house cleaning mean the same thing: a trained cleaner, or a small crew for larger homes, working a room-by-room checklist with supplies and equipment we bring ourselves. Every cleaner is trained by our owner, Adriana Adrian, who holds the ISSA Professional House Cleaning certification. Whether you call it a maid, a housekeeper, or a house cleaner, the services hub shows everything we offer, from recurring visits to deep cleans and move-outs.

What if I'm not happy with the clean?

Tell us. Our satisfaction promise is simple: if anything is missed, let us know within 24 hours of the visit and we will return and make it right. Every visit, every customer, every time. The fastest way is to call (352) 890-1183 or email us with a note about what was missed; a photo helps us fix exactly the right thing. We work from a room-by-room checklist, so we would rather hear about a miss and correct it than have you live with it.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. BroomShine Services LLC is a licensed Florida business and is insured. Our owner, Adriana Adrian, holds the ISSA Professional House Cleaning certification and trains every cleaner on the team. If you would like proof of coverage before your first visit, ask when you request a quote.

Do I have to sign a contract or join a membership?

No. There is no contract, no membership and no minimum term. You pay per cleaning, and recurring service continues only for as long as you want it.
