House cleaning costs and sales tax in Friendswood

HomeGuide puts house cleaning at about $200 per visit nationally, with most people paying $120 to $280 (April 2024). For a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home it gives $135 to $180 for a standard clean, $180 to $280 for a deep clean and $180 to $300 for move-out cleaning.

Texas charges 6.25% state sales tax plus up to 2% local, for a maximum of 8.25%, and cleaning services collect it on the amount billed. Ask whether the quote includes tax.

Hiring a Friendswood house cleaner

Some households search the Texas DPS public conviction database by name as one check; it covers Class B misdemeanors and up. If a seller comes to your door and you agree there to more than $25 of service, Texas law generally lets you cancel by midnight of the third business day; that rule doesn't reach a clean you booked online or by phone. A complaint filed with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division becomes public record. Agree in writing what a standard visit includes, which rooms, and whether supplies are the cleaner's or yours.

If you're moving out of a Friendswood rental, Texas landlords must refund the deposit within 30 days of move-out (once you give a written forwarding address) and may not deduct for normal wear and tear. Pair the clean with Friendswood movers, and see our Texas house cleaning guide and the Friendswood local guide.
