Don't Get Fooled by Low Cleaning Prices: How to Compare Quotes Fairly

Cleaning a stovetop ensures a spotless and hygienic cooking surface. In & Out Home Detailing includes stovetop cleaning in every maintenance plan and deep cleaning package.

If you’ve ever tried to compare quotes from different cleaning companies, you know it can feel like comparing apples to oranges—or maybe apples to pineapples. Cleaning quote prices can vary wildly, but so can what’s actually included in that price. Before you make a decision, it's important to dig into the details so you know exactly what you're getting—and what you’re not.

Ensure fairness by comparing similar offerings: just like these identical apples, cleaning quotes should be comparable in every way. At In & Out Home Detailing, you always know exactly what to expect from our cleanings.

Don’t Just Look at the Price—Look at the Scope

One company may provide a cleaning quote price of $375 for a move-in cleaning, and another might say $540. But unless you know what each of those quotes includes, it’s impossible to make a fair comparison. Are baseboards dusted or wiped? Are appliance interiors included? Is tile and grout scrubbing part of the job or an extra charge? You’d be surprised how often “the basics” mean different things to different companies.

Ask for a detailed list of what’s included in the quote—and just as importantly, what’s not included. A transparent company won’t shy away from providing that level of detail. In fact, they’ll want you to have it so you can make an informed decision.

Watch for Hidden Charges

It’s not uncommon for some companies to leave key services out of the initial cleaning quote, only to add them in later as extra fees. Things like pet hair removal, heavy lifting, or interior window cleaning might sound like standard tasks, but they’re often treated as add-ons. Make sure the company spells out any potential additional charges up front. The last thing you want is to be surprised by a bigger bill on cleaning day.

Check Reviews and Ask for References

Online reviews are a great way to gauge how a company treats its customers and how fairly they quote their prices. Sites like Google and Facebook often tell you more than a company's website ever will. Look for patterns in the reviews—are clients consistently happy with the service, pricing, communication, and results?

And if you're still unsure, don't hesitate to ask for references from customers who have received similar cleanings. A reputable company will be happy to connect you with past clients so you can hear firsthand about their experience.
