Hourly, cleaners charge about $25 to $75 per worker. Ask whether a quote is per visit or per hour, and how many cleaners will come. Our Texas house cleaning guide covers contracts and pricing in depth.
Sales tax on Garland cleaning bills
Texas treats building and grounds cleaning as a taxable real property service, and a cleaning company's charge to clean a home is taxed like an office. The state rate is 6.25%, and local governments can add up to 2%, for a combined maximum of 8.25%. The company should collect state tax plus any local tax on what it bills.
The only cleaning exemption the Comptroller describes is for a self-employed housekeeper who works directly for your household. Someone sent by a maid service is taxable. A quote with no tax line is worth a question.
The tax reaches more than floors and counters. Texas defines taxable cleaning to include window washing, wall and ceiling cleaning, and duct and chimney cleaning. If you add windows or a deep clean to a regular Garland visit, expect the same tax on the add-on. Cleaning businesses pay tax on their own soap and equipment, but can buy items left with you, like paper towels, tax-free for resale.
Checking a Garland cleaning service
Before a cleaner gets a key to a Garland home, ask for references and proof of insurance. The Department of Public Safety runs a public conviction database that anyone can search by name; it covers Class B misdemeanors and above reported to DPS. If a seller signs you up at your door for services over $25, Texas law generally lets you cancel by midnight of the third business day. If something goes wrong, you can file a complaint online with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, and it becomes public.
Garland move-out cleaning

Book the cleaners after the truck leaves: see movers in Garland. The Garland city page has the city trash rules, and house cleaning in Richardson is a short drive.
