Question 1

How much does cleaning cost in Johannesburg in 2026?

Accepted Answer

In Johannesburg, a once-off domestic clean costs roughly R450–R700, a deep clean of a 3-bedroom home R1,400–R2,200, and a post-build clean R2,800–R4,500. Carpet and upholstery cleaning runs R700–R1200, and office cleaning from about R50/hour per cleaner.

Question 2

What's the difference between a regular clean and a deep clean?

Accepted Answer

A regular clean covers surfaces, floors, bathrooms, and kitchen for upkeep. A deep clean is far more thorough — inside cupboards and appliances, behind and under furniture, skirtings, light fittings, windows, tiles and grout, and full sanitising. Deep cleans suit move-ins, post-renovation, or a seasonal reset.

Question 3

How long does a deep clean take in Johannesburg?

Accepted Answer

A deep clean of a standard 3-bedroom home takes a team of 2 cleaners about 4–6 hours. Post-build cleans take longer due to dust and debris. A good Johannesburg service confirms team size and time when quoting.

Question 4

Are cleaning services insured and vetted?

Accepted Answer

Reputable services carry public liability insurance and screen their staff. All cleaning services on FlowLeads are vetted for insurance and references before joining. For regular domestic work, many clients prefer the same trusted cleaner each visit — ask the service about consistency.

Question 5

Do I need to supply cleaning products?

Accepted Answer

It varies — many services bring their own products and equipment (sometimes at a small extra cost), while others use yours, especially for regular domestic work. Confirm upfront and flag delicate surfaces (natural stone, wood, upholstery) so the cleaner brings the right materials.

Question 6

Can I book a regular weekly or monthly clean?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most services offer once-off, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly schedules. Regular bookings are usually cheaper per visit than once-offs. Mention your preferred frequency in the request and we'll match you with services that offer it.
