The Reality Check: It IS Possible to Get $125 for 2-Hour Cleaning
Here's the truth: You absolutely CAN get professional cleaning for $125 for a full 2-hour session - but it depends on bringing down the minimum time requirements. By being realistic about your home's condition and doing some simple prep work, you can make 2 hours incredibly effective.
The Questions That Determine If 2 Hours Is Enough
Before we talk time and price, let's get honest about your Trinity home. These five conditions will determine whether 2 hours can work for your home or if you need more time:
Question #1: Is your house under 1900 square feet?
One of the ways to save the most money is by sending one person to do the cleaning instead of two.One person can clean effectively a house under 1900 square feet. Large homes simply require more time to clean and sanitize properly, and it's still good.

⏱ More Time Needed
Over 1900 sq ft
Question #2: Is your home already being cleaned regularly?
Let's face it: Deep cleanings are expensive. Due to the fact that they require fine detailing like:
- Blinds
- Hand detailing of blinds going over
- Hard-to-reach places like HVAC vents that accumulate a lot of dust
This is normally either not a one-person job or a 4-hour cleaning. That's why maintenance cleaning exists. If it's more of a maintenance clean and your house is already very well kept, then that means it could be done in 2 hours. That's where it's gonna save a lot of your money.

Cleaned within the last month
⏱ More Time Needed
Several months or first cleaning
Question #3: Is there heavy cleaning required?
The honest truth: Things like soap scum, mold, mildew, and grime are heavy cleaning items, as well as more expensive products. If your shower has soap scum buildup, your bathroom has mildew, or your kitchen has grease accumulation, this requires specialized cleaning time and products. This isn't a quick wipe-down situation.
✓ 2-Hour Qualifier
Just dust and light dirt
⏱ More Time Needed
Soap scum, mildew, grease buildup
Question #4: How much pet hair are we dealing with?
Pet hair can be a problem if there is a lot of it. If you have a Shiba Inu like we do, they tend to shed A LOT - hair can be everywhere. Pet hair that's been lying under the couch, embedded in carpets, and accumulated in corners can easily turn a 2-hour job into 3+ hours.
✓ 2-Hour Qualifier
No pets or minimal shedding
⏱ More Time Needed
Heavy shedders, hair buildup
Question #5: Do you need inside of appliances cleaned?
Appliance reality: It really depends on the degree of what the appliances need. Some appliances that have heavy build-up require significant time. Pro tip: If you're ever getting your oven cleaned and you have a self-cleaning oven, save yourself the headache (for you and the cleaner) - run the self-cleaning function first.
✓ 2-Hour Qualifier
External surfaces only
⏱ More Time Needed
Oven degreasing, refrigerator deep clean
Bonus Factor: Location & Scheduling Flexibility
Location matters. Let's say we got a cleaning over in Brooksville, then we gotta come down to Land O'Lakes - that could be an hour drive. Gas is expensive, transportation costs matter. So if you're flexible on the date and time, there might be room for savings. Just like airplanes have "empty legs," there may be a spot where it may logistically make sense to fit you in.
💡 Money-Saving Tip
Flexible scheduling in our regular service areas like Trinity, Land O'Lakes, and New Port Richey can unlock additional savings

If you answered "2-Hour Qualifier" to 4-5 questions, congratulations! You're likely a perfect candidate for our $125 for 2-hour cleaning sessions. The key is bringing down those minimum time requirements through smart preparation and realistic expectations.
