Recurring cleaning plans are set up around your home as it exists on day one — the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces you actually need cleaned on a regular basis. But homes change. A spare bedroom becomes a home office, a guest room goes unused for a year, a finished basement gets added to the rotation. When that happens, your recurring plan should change with it.
Why Room Count Matters for Your Plan
Pricing and time on-site are both tied to the size and layout of what’s being cleaned. If a room drops out of regular use — say, a guest room that’s now just storage — there’s no reason to keep paying to have it cleaned every visit. On the flip side, if you’ve finished a basement, converted a garage into a livable space, or simply started using a room you didn’t before, that space should be reflected in your plan and quote too.
How to Request a Change
The simplest path is to reach out before your next visit and tell us what’s changed:
- Which room(s) you want added or removed
- Whether the change is permanent or temporary (for example, a guest room you only need cleaned when visitors are staying)
- Any access or condition details for a newly added space
From there we’ll adjust your quote to reflect the new scope. Adding a room may raise your recurring price and visit time, and removing one may lower them.
Temporary vs. Permanent Changes
Not every room change is permanent, and that’s fine. If you have a room that only needs attention occasionally — a nursery that’s freshly set up, a home office that gets a deeper clean before a big work trip, a guest suite ahead of family visiting — you can ask for that room to be included as a one-time add-on for a specific visit rather than changing your ongoing plan. That keeps your regular recurring price stable while still covering the space when you actually need it.
Your Recurring Discount Still Applies
One thing that doesn’t change when you add or remove a room: your recurring discount tier. Whether you’re on a weekly (15% off), biweekly (10% off), or monthly (5% off) schedule, the discount tier depends on how often you book. Changing the rooms in your plan changes the base price the discount is taken from. You can read more about how those tiers work in How Recurring Cleaning Discounts Work.
When to Reconsider Frequency, Not Just Rooms
Sometimes what feels like a room problem is really a frequency problem. If you’ve added a room and now feel like your biweekly visit isn’t keeping up, or you’ve removed rooms and a weekly visit feels like overkill, it might be worth stepping back and looking at your overall schedule rather than just the room list. We put together a broader guide on that in How to Choose the Right Cleaning Frequency for Your Household.
Starting Prices by Home Size
Prices are tiered by home size. Our standard cleaning starts at $135+ for a studio, $145+ for a 1BR, and $195+ for a 2BR. Deep cleaning starts at $210+ for a studio, and move-in/move-out cleaning starts at $285+, so removing a room from a small home may not lower the price much.
How to Get Started
If your home has changed since you first set up your recurring plan, don’t just live with a mismatched schedule.
