Deep House Cleaning in Des Moines
Deep house cleaning in Des Moines from Rapid Maid is a slower, more detailed clean of a home you live in (kitchen and bathroom surfaces, dusting and floors, with extra time on grease, soap scum and grime), and it typically costs $204–$400 depending on home size and add-ons. It is for a first visit, a home that has gone a month or longer without a professional clean, or a one-time catch-up before recurring visits. Background-checked, fully insured cleaners serve 19 Greater Des Moines cities from our Clive office, 24/7, and you can book a one-time or recurring visit online in about 60 seconds or call (515) 305-3231.
Deep cleaning price
Deep cleaning is published as one range, $204–$400, for homes of every size. Bedrooms, bathrooms and the add-ons you pick set where you land in that range. Booking online shows the exact total before you pay. Every range is also on the pricing page.

A standard clean, the shorter maintenance visit, is priced by size on the house cleaning page: $139–$189 for 1-2 bedrooms, $209–$239 for 3 bedrooms and $249–$400+ for 4 or more bedrooms.
Deep cleans are covered by the Rapid Maid re-clean guarantee too.

Deep clean vs standard clean
Use a standard clean to maintain a home you already stay on top of. Book a deep clean when that rhythm has lapsed, or when the house has never had a professional clean. Both visits cover the same rooms. A deep clean spends longer on buildup. The extras below stay optional on a deep clean, and they are not part of a standard visit.
| Topic | Standard clean | Deep clean |
|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Repeat upkeep on a schedule | A first visit, a gap of a month or longer, or a catch-up before recurring cleaning |
| Kitchen and bathrooms | Counters, sink, stovetop and appliance fronts; toilet, tub, shower, sink and mirror | Those same surfaces, with more time on grease and soap scum |
| Dusting | Furniture, shelves, ledges and baseboards get a dusting | That dusting is worked more carefully around edges |
| Floors | Vacuumed carpets and mopped hard floors | The same floor work, including along the walls |
| Add-ons | Not included | Washing walls and baseboards; inside the oven, fridge and cabinets; windows, blinds and ceiling fans |
| Typical price | $139–$189 (1-2 bedrooms), $209–$239 (3 bedrooms), $249–$400+ (4 or more) | $204–$400 |
An empty home at the end of a lease, before a closing, or ahead of move-in day is a different job. That is move-out cleaning, typically $239–$500+, and it is built for vacant rooms, closets included.
Who a deep clean is for
- First professional clean. The house has not been on a cleaning schedule, so surfaces need more than a maintenance visit.
- A gap of a month or longer. Kitchens and bathrooms have buildup a standard visit is not timed to remove.
- Before or after a gathering. Guests, a project or a party left the house behind.
- Before recurring visits. Catch the home up once, then keep it with recurring cleaning. Weekly, biweekly and monthly schedules take 20%, 15% and 10% off standard cleaning prices. Those discounts apply to standard cleans, not to this deep-clean range.
If the home will be empty, book move-out cleaning (typically $239–$500+) instead of a deep clean.

Deep cleaning FAQ
How much does a deep clean cost in Des Moines?
A deep clean typically costs $204–$400. That single range covers homes of every size. Bedrooms, bathrooms and add-ons set the price inside it, and booking online shows your exact total before you pay.
What does the deep cleaning checklist include?
Every deep clean covers the kitchen (counters, sink, stovetop, appliance fronts, cabinet doors and handles), the bathrooms (toilet, tub, shower, sink, mirror and fixtures) and the bedrooms and living areas (dusting of furniture, shelves, ledges and baseboards, vacuuming, mopping and trash). The inside of the oven, the inside of the fridge, the inside of cabinets, washing walls and baseboards, and windows, blinds and ceiling fans are add-ons you select when you book. Cleaners bring their own supplies.
How is a deep clean different from a standard clean?
A standard clean is maintenance priced by size: $139–$189 for 1-2 bedrooms, $209–$239 for 3 bedrooms and $249–$400+ for 4 or more.
