House Cleaning Services in Pasadena
Standard Cleaning
A thorough cleaning for anyone who wants to keep their home in good shape. Ideal if you use a cleaning service regularly and your home is already well kept.
Deep Cleaning
Adds extra time for spots a standard cleaning doesn't cover. Works best for homes that haven't been professionally cleaned in a few months.
Move-In and Move-Out Cleaning
Leaving a rental near Caltech or Pasadena City College, or getting a Craftsman cottage ready to sell? Our move-out package takes one stressful task off your list and gets your home ready for the big move.
Recurring Cleaning
Best for people who want a predictable schedule and the same cleaner whenever possible. Choose weekly, biweekly, every 3 weeks or monthly, and save on every visit!
Airbnb and Turnover Cleaning
Reliable turnovers between guests. Manage everything online and easily adjust your schedule if guests reschedule or cancel.
Hourly Cleaning
Works best if you need help with part of your home or a custom cleaning. Book a cleaner by the hour, with a 3-hour minimum.
Cleaning Pasadena Homes,
from Craftsman Bungalows to New Townhomes
We know Pasadena as a mix of beautiful older homes and apartment buildings, plus newer apartments and townhomes. Craftsman bungalows line the streets of Bungalow Heaven, and Madison Heights has larger older homes. We also love the newer buildings around Old Pasadena, Playhouse Village and South Lake Avenue, with so many great places to eat and go out nearby. |
Most homes here are well kept, with modern interiors. So a typical cleaning is more about the details and less about scrubbing. Cleaners usually focus on polishing fixtures, dusting hidden spots like air vents, making shower doors shine and leaving countertops spotless. |
The Main Challenge: Hard Water
Surprisingly, Pasadena’s tap water is about twice as hard as the water in most of Los Angeles. Homeowners who skip regular bathroom and kitchen upkeep can learn an expensive lesson. Calcium buildup can cause significant damage, so we recommend regular cleaning of showerheads and faucets to extend the life of your beautiful fixtures. We also encourage Pasadena residents to descale shower doors and bathroom tile regularly. Our deep cleaning add-on gives your cleaner extra time to tackle this buildup. |
One-Time or Recurring Cleaning?
We suggest booking a one-time cleaning when you need a reset: for unexpected guests, spring cleaning or a move. |
Recurring cleaning, on the other hand, is great when you want consistency. The same cleaner on the same schedule gives you the best results and the best value for your money. Your home is professionally cleaned on a regular basis, so it always stays in good shape. You also save on every visit: 15% off weekly cleanings, 10% off biweekly cleanings and 5% off cleanings every 3 weeks or monthly. |
Between long workdays and the 210 commute, your weekends are for a walk around the Rose Bowl, not for scrubbing your bathroom. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions Pasadena clients ask most
How much does house cleaning cost in Pasadena?
Standard cleaning starts at $159 for a studio or one-bedroom home, and the price depends on your home’s size. You can choose from several add-ons or book a cleaner by the hour. Hourly bookings have a 3-hour minimum, whether you book one cleaner or two. See all prices |
How far ahead should I book a move-out cleaning?
We usually have a few spots left early in the week, so booking a few days ahead is ideal. Many spots go to recurring clients, so same-day openings aren’t always available. |
Which Pasadena ZIP codes do you serve?
All residential ones: 91101, 91103, 91104, 91105, 91106 and 91107. We also serve South Pasadena (91030), San Marino (91108) and Altadena (91001).
Do cleaners clean under furniture?
Yes. Cleaners reach under furniture wherever they can, even during a standard cleaning. For spots that need extra time, we recommend adding a deep cleaning. Cleaners don’t move heavy furniture or appliances, so please move those ahead of time if you’d like the floor underneath cleaned.
Can you remove hard water buildup from shower glass and tile?
Yes, but it depends on how severe the buildup is. Regular cleaning helps prevent it, and a deep cleaning can help with built-up deposits. In rare cases, when heavy buildup has been left for months or even years, we recommend a restoration service instead of a regular cleaning service.
Can I book an appointment for a specific time?
Yes, you can choose a start time when you book. Please allow a 30-minute arrival window for traffic and other delays. Cleaners always do their best to arrive on time.
