House cleaning in Washington DC
House cleaning in Washington DC, priced before you book.
Rowhouses, English basements, condos and everything in between. Pick your home size and the clean you need, and the price is on screen before you give us a phone number.
Most cleaning companies in DC want a phone call before they will tell you a price, and a fair number of them quote one number and charge another. That is the single most common complaint in reviews of cleaners across the District, and it is the thing Tidystone was built to remove. Bedrooms plus bathrooms plus how often equals your rate, and the rate is what you pay.
We keep the service area tight on purpose, so a cleaner heading to Petworth is not racing across the river from a job in Fairfax. Short drives mean on-time arrivals, and on-time is the other thing DC reviews ask for most.

$45 off applied
Supplies, insurance and tax included. Your first visit takes longer, so it is normally billed at the one time rate of $230. We cap it at your regular price of $185, so the first clean never costs more than the ones after it. Both prices move with the size of your home and any extras you add.
Book yourself in under two minutes. No phone call, no waiting for a quote.
Why Tidystone in Washington DC
Built for how DC homes actually are
A Capitol Hill rowhouse and a Navy Yard new-build do not get dirty the same way. Older rowhouses collect dust on radiators, stair rails and deep window sills, and the floors show every footprint. New construction shows streaks on glass and quartz and dust in the corners of the balcony door track. Our cleaners work off one checklist, but they know which items matter most in which kind of home.
Parking, alley access, and buildings with a front desk are all normal for us. Add your building notes when you book and the cleaner arrives knowing how to get in. There is no parking surcharge and no DC surcharge; the calculator price includes supplies, insurance and tax.

The checklist
What a standard clean covers
Every visit, every room, the same list. Deep cleans and move-out cleans run the same list at a slower pace and add the areas that only need attention now and then.
Kitchen
Counters, backsplash and sink scrubbed. Outside of every appliance. Cabinet fronts wiped. Floor washed by hand at the edges.
Bathrooms
Tub, shower, tile and grout line scrubbed. Toilet inside and out. Mirrors and fixtures polished streak free.
Bedrooms
Beds made with hotel corners. Surfaces dusted top to bottom. Under accessible furniture vacuumed.
Living areas
Dusted high to low, including sills, baseboards, blinds and switch plates. Upholstery vacuumed.
Floors throughout
Vacuumed and mopped, with corners and edges done by hand instead of a machine pass.
Finish
Trash out, fresh liners, and a photo of every room sent to you before your cleaner leaves.
Recurring visits start at $120 for a one bed, one bath every two weeks. See the full price table on the home page.
Questions from Washington DC
Straight answers.
Do you clean English basements and rowhouses?
Yes, and they are a big share of what we do. Count the basement unit as its own home if it has its own kitchen and bathroom. If it is part of the main house, count its bedrooms and bathrooms in the total.
My building has a front desk. How does the cleaner get in?
Add the desk instructions or a door code in the notes when you book. We can also work from a lockbox or a key left with the desk. You do not need to be home.
Is there a charge for parking in DC?
No. The price the calculator shows is the price you pay. Supplies, insurance, parking and tax are all inside it.
