What two Denver cleaners charge, and what that price covers
By Josi L.Published
Somebody is going to clean your house in Denver, and you’d like the number before the conversation starts, not after.
Two businesses here answer that on their own pages. Clean House P&S opens at $110 a visit. Jones Cleaning Solutions opens at $150. Three years in the trade each, both run by a family, both working Monday through Saturday.
Denver is the only city on this site where two businesses have put their own number in writing. So it’s the one place you can hold two real prices next to each other instead of one figure stretched across a whole country. The full Denver list, with the towns each one drives to, is a click away. What follows is how to read those two numbers.
Where you live may settle this before the price does
Here’s the thing almost nobody checks first, and it’s the one I’d check first.
They don’t cover the same map.
Clean House is the one that heads north, as far up as Boulder. Jones goes south and east, out to Elizabeth on the plains, and her page puts a limit on it: up to an hour from Denver. In the middle, Aurora and a few of the same suburbs south of town, you get a genuine choice between them.
So for a good stretch of this metro area, the price gap isn’t a decision you get to make. Town first, price second. That order saves people a message they didn’t need to send.
The two of them, side by side
| Clean House P&S | Jones Cleaning Solutions | |
|---|---|---|
| Starts at | $110 a visit | $150 a visit |
| Open | 8 to 5, Monday to Saturday | 7 to 8, Monday to Saturday |
| Drives | north, as far as Boulder | south and east, out to Elizabeth |
| You pay with | cash or Zelle | card, check, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, cash |
| You get a number by | describing the house | setting bedrooms and bathrooms on her page |
Five rows, and the price is only one of them. Read down the column that matters in your house and the choice usually makes itself.
What each of them does all day
Put the two lists of work next to each other and they stop looking like the same trade. That’s most of the answer about the price, right there.
Clean House does houses, apartments, short-term rentals, standard cleans, deep cleans, move-in and move-out, offices, car dealerships, and the kitchen booked on its own. That last one is worth knowing about. If the oven and the cabinet fronts are the only thing bothering you, you can hire that by itself instead of buying a whole-house clean to get at it.
Jones carries a second business on top of the houses:
- rough, final and touch-up cleans on new construction
- medical and dental offices, retail, warehouses
- windows, facades and pressure washing
- carpet and upholstery
That’s a different pile of equipment. Equipment tends to show up in a starting price whether or not you’re the one using it.
Her evening hours aren’t decoration either. If the only opening your week has is before work or after dinner, the hours row up there settles the whole thing on its own.
Two ways of answering “how much for my house”
Jones prices hers by bedrooms and bathrooms, right there on the page. Set three and two, read the figure, and the guessing is over before you’ve typed anything. Clean House does it the way most of this trade does: describe the house, get a number back.
Both of those beat waiting two days on a form.
What you’re buying then is what a deep clean covers and what it leaves out, and that’s a longer day for whoever shows up.
The product question, which comes up more here than you’d think
Both carry eco-friendly products and conventional ones, and Jones lists hypoallergenic and biodegradable as well. You pick which comes out of the bag.
It matters more in this city than in most. From October into April the windows stay shut and the furnace runs, so whatever gets used at nine in the morning is still hanging around at dinner. If there’s a baby on the floor, or somebody in the house who gets a headache off strong smells, say so when you write. Then it’s in the bag before anybody rings the bell.
Cash, Zelle, card
Small thing, real effect on a price.
Clean House lists two ways to pay. Jones lists six, card included. So if the card is the only way this works in your house, that alone settles which page you open first.
Card processing costs a business a slice of every job. It isn’t the whole distance between those two numbers, and I’d rather not pretend one detail explains a price, but it’s part of the picture and it’s exactly the sort of thing an average wipes off the table.
Neither of them pays a commission to anybody here, either. What you hand her, she keeps. You call her directly, on the number on her own page, and nothing on this site takes a cut of the job.
Saturdays, turnovers and the empty apartment
Three jobs come up constantly in this city, and both take all three.
Saturday first, because it’s the one that quietly decides everything. Don’t take it for granted: site-wide, the number who work it is 21 of the 27. Here it happens to be both of them, Monday through Saturday.
Then short-term rentals. Somebody flies out, somebody flies in, and between those two flights the sheets change and the bathroom goes back to zero. That’s a clock more than a cleaning, and it lands on whatever day the booking says.
And move-outs. The apartment looks fine while your furniture is in it. Take the couch out and there’s the wall behind it, and suddenly the deposit is a real conversation. Both do move-in and move-out work, and both do offices, which is the same job with a lease attached.
Checking them yourself, in one minute
Both list a registered company name, and each page links out to the Colorado Secretary of State, free and with no account. Worth doing. Worth knowing what it proves, too, which is only that the company sits on the state’s record.
And where a cleaner has no company name at all, that isn’t a hole in her page. Working for yourself and never registering anything is ordinary in this trade: on this site there’s no company on file for 17 of the 27 listed. Years behind you and a filing at the state are two different things.
What to put in the first message
Four things, and you’re done:
- your town
- bedrooms and bathrooms
- regular clean or catch-up
- the day you’re hoping for
Written out like that, what comes back has a number in it instead of a maybe.
Pets are worth a line, and so is anything you’d rather nobody touched. Both pages have a Text button that opens the message already addressed and with your city in it. On the Jones page, setting the bedrooms and bathrooms first drops the size and the figure in there too.
Both work in English and Spanish. Ask for Yuli at Clean House, for Noylin at Jones.
