What is the average hourly rate for a house cleaner?
Nationally, $35 to $80 per hour, with a standard 2-bedroom clean landing between $120 and $240 and a 3-bedroom between $160 and $320. Sydney runs hotter: most cleans sit between $40 and $92 per hour with the average around $63. Condition matters as much as size; a first deep clean takes longer than the fortnightly maintenance that follows it. Tip: booking a recurring fortnightly slot almost always prices better per visit than ad-hoc cleans.
