House cleaning rates in Raleigh typically range from $120 to $350+ per visit, depending on the size of your home, the type of service, and the condition of the space. A standard recurring clean for a 3-bedroom home generally falls between $150 and $250, while a first-time deep clean or move-out clean runs higher because of the additional detail work involved.

At Cura Maids, we provide a free estimate based on the specifics of your home — square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, pets, and any add-on requests. Our rates are transparent with no hidden fees, and recurring clients receive lower per-visit pricing compared to one-time bookings.

Tipping for cleaning services is appreciated but never required. If you’d like to tip, a common range is 15–20% of the service total or $10–$20 per cleaner for a standard visit. For larger jobs like deep cleans, move-outs, or post-construction cleanup, tips on the higher end are a generous way to recognize the extra effort involved.

For recurring clients, many people tip per visit while others save a larger tip for holidays or special occasions. Either approach is perfectly fine. At Cura Maids, our pricing is structured so that our team is fairly compensated regardless — any tip you choose to leave goes directly to the cleaners who serviced your home.

The right cleaning schedule depends on your household size, pets, and daily routine. Here’s a general guide:

• Weekly: Best for busy families with kids, pets, or high-traffic homes where dust and mess accumulate quickly.
• Bi-weekly (every 2 weeks): Our most popular option. Keeps your home consistently clean without over-scheduling. A bi-weekly house cleaning covers all 77 tasks each visit.
• Monthly: A good fit for smaller homes, singles, or couples who maintain their space between visits. Many clients pair a monthly deep cleaning schedule with lighter spot-cleaning on their own.

Not sure what’s right for you? Start with a one-time deep clean to bring your home to a baseline, then transition to a recurring schedule that fits your life.

Maintaining your home between visits doesn’t require a full cleaning routine — just a few daily habits that take 10–15 minutes:

• Kitchen: Wipe counters and stovetop after cooking. Load the dishwasher before bed. Keep the sink clear.
• Bathrooms: Squeegee the shower after each use. Wipe the vanity daily. Hang towels to dry fully.
• Floors: Quick sweep or robot vacuum every 2–3 days, especially in high-traffic areas and around pet bowls.
• Clutter: Put items back in their place as you go. A 5-minute nightly tidyup prevents buildup between professional visits.

These small habits mean your cleaning team can focus on the deeper tasks — sanitizing, scrubbing grout, dusting vents, and the other detail work on our 77-Star checklist — rather than spending time on basic pickup.

Yes. Every Cura Maids team member undergoes a thorough background check before they’re assigned to any home. Our company is fully insured and bonded, which means you’re protected in the unlikely event of accidental damage during a visit.

We also invest in ongoing training so every cleaner follows the same 77-Star process consistently. This combination of screening, insurance, and standardized training is how we maintain the trust that homeowners across the Research Triangle have placed in us since 2015.

Getting started is simple. You can request a free estimate online by sharing a few details about your home — size, number of rooms, type of service, and any special requests. We’ll respond with transparent pricing, usually within a few hours.
