Question 1

How much does house cleaning cost in St. Augustine?

Accepted Answer

Recurring biweekly cleaning of a typical 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in St. Johns County runs about 130 to 220 dollars per visit in 2026, with weekly service a little cheaper per visit and monthly a little more. Hourly rates for independent cleaners are 35 to 55 dollars per hour per person. Larger homes in Ponte Vedra and Palencia often run 250 to 400 dollars per visit.

Question 2

How much is a deep clean?

Accepted Answer

A one-time deep clean, which adds baseboards, ceiling fans, inside cabinets, blinds and detailed bathroom and kitchen work, typically costs 300 to 600 dollars for an average St. Johns County home and more for larger houses or ones that have not been professionally cleaned in a while. Many companies require a deep clean before starting recurring service, then drop to the standard rate.

Question 3

What does a move-out cleaning cost in St. Johns County?

Accepted Answer

Move-out cleans for an empty 3 bedroom home run about 350 to 700 dollars locally, including inside the oven, fridge and cabinets. Larger homes and ones with heavy buildup cost more. If you are a tenant, ask the landlord or property manager for their checklist first, since many St. Augustine and Nocatee rental managers have specific requirements tied to the deposit.

Question 4

Do house cleaners need a license in Florida?

Accepted Answer

No. Florida does not require a state license for residential cleaning. Businesses do need a St. Johns County business tax receipt, and legitimate companies carry liability insurance and often a bond. Because there is no license to check, references, insurance certificates and reviews are how you vet a cleaner here. Carpet cleaning, pressure washing and mold remediation are separate trades, and mold remediation over a certain size does require a Florida license.

Question 5

How do I get hard water stains off shower glass?

Accepted Answer

Hard water scale is the number one complaint on St. Johns County showers. Cleaners use acidic products or a dedicated scale remover and a non-scratch pad, and heavy buildup may take two visits. Once it is clear, a squeegee after each shower and a water softener keep it that way. Ask your cleaner to include shower glass in the written scope, since many standard cleans do not.

Question 6

How much do vacation rental turnovers cost in St. Augustine?

Accepted Answer

Turnover cleans for short term rentals in St. Augustine, Vilano Beach and St. Augustine Beach typically run 120 to 300 dollars per turn depending on size, with laundry and restocking sometimes extra. Owners usually pass this through as the guest cleaning fee. Reliability on same-day turns matters more than price, so ask about weekend availability and backup staff during peak season.
