House Cleaning near you in Philippines

A 1-2 bedroom apartment usually takes 2-3 hours for one cleaner; a 3-bedroom home takes 3-4 hours. Deep cleans run 4-8 hours or use a two-person team. First visits always take longer than maintenance visits because the cleaner is working through accumulated grime and learning the layout.

Commonly excluded: exterior windows, inside the oven and fridge, laundry and ironing, dishes, wet-wiping walls, mould remediation, cleaning up after pests, biohazards, and anything requiring a ladder. These are add-ons or specialist jobs. Always get the inclusion list in writing so the visit matches your expectations.

Yes, and most providers accommodate it — either with their own green product line (sometimes a small surcharge) or by using products you supply. Flag allergies, babies, and pets when booking. Note that some jobs, like heavy limescale or mould, genuinely need stronger chemistry to work.

A standard clean covers surfaces you touch weekly: vacuuming, mopping, dusting, bathrooms, kitchen wipe-down and bins. A deep clean adds the build-up work — inside the oven and fridge, skirting boards, under furniture, limescale removal, grout scrubbing and window sills. Deep cleans typically cost 50-100% more and take roughly twice as long. Book a deep clean first if the home hasn't been professionally cleaned in 6+ months, then maintain with standard cleans.

One-off professional cleans in Metro Manila run about PHP 800-2,000 for a studio or 1-BR condo and PHP 1,500-4,200 for a house, usually with a 2-3 person team. Hourly equivalents work out to roughly PHP 150-400 per cleaner. Provincial rates run meaningfully lower than Metro Manila.

The Batas Kasambahay requires a written employment contract, at least the regional minimum wage for domestic workers, weekly rest days, 13th-month pay, and employer-paid SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG registration. One-off cleaning companies carry none of these obligations for you — their staff are their employees.
