House cleaning in Clear Lake

HomeGuide's April 2024 national figures put most visits at $120 to $280. For a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home it lists standard cleaning at $135 to $180, a deep clean at $180 to $280 and a move-out clean at $180 to $300. These aren't local prices.

On top, a cleaning service collects the 6.25% state sales tax plus any local tax, up to 8.25% combined. The Comptroller's guidance puts no tax on a self-employed housekeeper who works as an employee of the household; that exemption doesn't reach someone sent by a maid service.

Some households search the DPS public conviction database by name as one check; it covers Class B misdemeanors and higher reported to DPS, so a blank result doesn't prove a clean record. If a cleaning business lets you down, you can file a consumer complaint online with the Attorney General, and Texas law makes that complaint public.

For a rental move-out, your landlord must refund the deposit within 30 days of you surrendering the home, once you've given a written forwarding address, and can't keep any of it for normal wear and tear. City heavy trash comes only every other month, so plan for bulky items. See the Texas house cleaning guide, movers in Clear Lake and the Clear Lake guide.
