How do you read a 2026 cleaning price list to pick the right package and avoid extra charges?
Start with your goal (routine upkeep, post-construction cleanup, deep cleaning), then match it to pricing by square meter, by hour, or by specific add-on items. Next, measure your floor area and share clear photos of the kitchen and bathrooms to confirm how heavy the build-up is. After that, lock the scope room by room and agree on the handover standard. Finally, inspect the job using a short checklist focused on easy-to-miss spots like grout lines, glass stains, and wall edges.
- Choose the right cleaning scenario first
- Compare pricing units (m²/hour/item)
- Confirm what’s billed separately
- Inspect the common “missed spots”
Cleaning costs vary more by surface condition and scope than by floor area alone. This 2026 price guide is most useful when you read it by billing unit, separate what’s included from what’s billed as add-ons, and agree on a handover standard before work begins. Phương Gia Foundation shares reference ranges, quick estimation examples, and a practical inspection checklist so you can compare quotes on the same scope—without mixing this page’s “pricing intent” with a separate “service booking” page.
Detailed price list by m², by hour, and by add-on items (reference 2026)
The table below gives you quick reference ranges across common cleaning scenarios and specialized items (glass, floors, upholstery). When quotes differ, check the billing unit first (m²/hour/kg/set/item) and any site constraints, because those usually explain the gap.
When you request a quote, ask for two lines: what’s included and what’s billed separately. This single step prevents most “I thought it was included” misunderstandings, especially for glass at height, upholstery shampooing, and floor polishing.

Note: These are reference ranges and may change over time. Actual pricing depends on site conditions, workload, and access constraints; photos and a clear priority list help providers quote more accurately.
Why can two homes with the same floor area get different quotes?
Most price gaps come from how heavy the build-up is, how many “detail zones” require deep work, and how sensitive the surfaces are—not from floor area alone. When you lock the scope by room and define the handover standard, quotes become more consistent and surprise add-ons drop sharply.
The biggest time drivers are usually grease in the kitchen, mineral scale in bathrooms, multiple glass panels, and high or hard-to-reach areas. If you have delicate finishes (brushed stainless steel, glossy stone), cleaning methods need extra care to avoid micro-scratches.
- More furniture and items to protect or move
- More glass panels, height work, or exterior glass
- Floor polishing/coating requirements
- Stubborn build-up in kitchen and bathrooms
Fast estimation examples for 3 common scenarios
If you want a quick “budget range” before contacting a provider, start with floor area and pick the scenario that matches your home’s condition. Then add optional items like sofa shampooing or floor polishing separately, because those can shift totals noticeably.
As a rule of thumb: m² pricing covers the baseline scope; specialized items are often quoted separately so the right tools and materials are used for each surface.
1) Routine home cleaning (in-use homes)
A common reference range is 6,000 – 15,000 VND/m² for routine cleaning. For small homes under 50m², packages often start from about 1,200,000 VND per visit when the scope is basic and add-ons are minimal.
- Best for weekly/monthly upkeep
- Prioritize kitchen and bathrooms first
2) Post-construction deep cleaning
Reference pricing is typically 15,000 – 20,000 VND/m² when fine dust and layered residue are present. To get an accurate quote, share close-up photos of door tracks, cabinet corners, grout lines, and wall-floor edges—these are the “dust traps” that drive labor time.
- Vacuum thoroughly before any wet wiping
- Inspect edges and hidden corners for fine dust
3) “All-in” package with add-ons
A reference example for a 100m² home is about 1,500,000 – 2,500,000 VND depending on how many add-ons you include. If you add carpet/sofa cleaning, disinfection, or floor polishing, request each line item by unit to keep the scope unambiguous.
- Best when multiple zones need deep work
- Confirm add-ons before work starts
Scope definition for m² packages: what to confirm for a clean handover
A clean handover becomes straightforward when the scope is defined room by room and the acceptance standard is agreed upfront. This reduces disagreements about “small details” that take time but matter a lot in real-life use.
The most common mismatch areas are glass, balconies/loggias, and kitchens because every home has different surface counts. Instead of vague descriptions, list surfaces and mark likely add-on zones so both sides align.
- Living/bedrooms: surfaces, under-shelves, switches
- Kitchen: countertop, outer cabinet faces, handles, splash zones
- Bathrooms: floor, wall areas, scale removal, drains
- Glass/balcony: number of panels, height, and build-up level
If you want a scope reference to compare against your quote, you can use a home-cleaning scope example to check whether glass, balcony, and kitchen details are clearly listed.
When does hourly cleaning make more sense financially?
Hourly cleaning is best for maintenance, quick zone-focused sessions, or when you want strict control over time and budget. If you have multiple deep-clean zones (kitchen, bathrooms, extensive glass), m² packages or itemized add-ons often deliver more predictable outcomes.
To optimize hourly sessions, define the “must-finish” list and group tasks by room to avoid time loss from moving back and forth. Also clear small items in advance so the cleaner can focus on actual cleaning.
- Prioritize kitchen and bathrooms if time is tight
- Start in low-clutter rooms to gain momentum
- Agree on the handover checkpoints
For ongoing upkeep schedules, hourly home cleaning options can help you allocate time by priority each visit.
Quote process and inspection checklist for “easy-to-miss” spots
The most accurate quotes come from photos plus a written scope list—not just a floor area number. The best inspections happen room by room, focusing on small detail zones that are commonly missed even when the home looks “clean overall.”
Phương Gia Foundation commonly recommends a 6-step flow: receive requirements, review photos/videos, confirm included scope and separately billed items, note delicate surfaces, clean in a structured order, then inspect the missed-spot checklist. This makes add-ons transparent before they happen.
- Send floor area plus photos of kitchen, bathrooms, glass, and floors.
- Confirm what’s included and what’s billed separately by unit.
- Flag delicate surfaces so tools/materials are chosen correctly.
- Clean top-to-bottom; dry steps first, wet wiping after.
- Do a cross-check on corners, edges, tracks, and grout lines.
- Inspect room by room and compare before/after if needed.
For a simple inspection framework, a room-by-room cleaning checklist helps you verify five high-impact points: grout lines, bathroom glass scale, kitchen surfaces/handles, wall-floor edges, and under furniture.
Service coverage in Ho Chi Minh City
Scheduling is smoother when you share your area and preferred time window, especially during weekends or peak hours. Major routes often help teams plan travel and reduce delays.
Common main corridors include: Vo Van Kiet, Dien Bien Phu, Cong Hoa, Nguyen Van Linh, Pham Van Dong, Hanoi Highway, Truong Chinh, Hoang Van Thu.
Nearby districts such as Binh Thanh, Phu Nhuan, Tan Binh, Go Vap, Thu Duc, and Binh Tan are often scheduled by route when the scope and priority items are clearly shared in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do “all-in” packages include sofa cleaning and floor polishing?
Not by default—these are commonly billed separately by unit, so confirm them as line items before work begins.
Why can m² quotes still lead to add-ons?
Add-ons typically come from high glass work, upholstery, or deep kitchen/bathroom detailing if the scope wasn’t confirmed upfront.
What should I send to get a more accurate post-construction quote?
Share close-up photos of door tracks, cabinet corners, grout lines, and wall-floor edges where fine dust collects most.
Do I need to stay home during the cleaning?
It’s best to do a short handover at the start and a final inspection at the end; if you’re away, confirm the checklist in advance.
What are the fastest checkpoints for a thorough inspection?
Check grout lines, bathroom glass scale, kitchen surfaces/handles, wall-floor edges, and under furniture.
What if the team discovers scope outside the quote?
Pause and confirm the added scope and price before proceeding to keep the handover transparent.
Conclusion
This 2026 pricing guide helps you lock costs by comparing billing units, separating included scope from add-ons, and agreeing on a clear handover standard. Start with your scenario (routine, post-construction, deep-clean with add-ons), then share photos of your kitchen, bathrooms, glass, and floors to get a more accurate quote. When you inspect using the “easy-to-miss” checkpoints, results become consistent and rework is reduced. Phương Gia Foundation recommends confirming any on-site add-ons before they are performed to keep costs predictable.
