Costs
There are some helpful websites out there, that have imported calculators, that can give you a general idea of costs. Let's say you have a rather large home, and you are looking for a “deep clean, stain removal” cleaning effort, the franchise company or maid will typically use a mid-grade cleaning product. On average of a 12 room home, it will take a maid approximately 15 hours with this style of cleaning. This will cost you anywhere from $612-$759. Of course, the costs depend on how thorough you want your house clean, how many hours you want spent in your home, how big your home is, and what you pick for a service.
Size Matters
The bigger the home, the more the cost will be. Vice versa, the smaller, the less it will cost you. There are one time cleaning services available as well. If you end up paying by the square foot, you can end up paying anywhere from $125-$145. If you are paying by the hour, it could cost you on average between $25-$45.
It is estimated that the average Las Vegas house-hold will spend around $1500 per year in cleaning services.

-Average cost per square foot below 1000 square feet: $120, 3000 sq feet: $140, 3200 sq. feet: $145. Anything above 3200 square feet will usually involve a bid.
