House cleaning in Oakland from $179. Takes about two minutes.

01 / What’s covered

What a standard clean covers in an Oakland home

Our Essential clean is the full standard clean. It’s not a stripped-down version of something better — it’s what most people book, and it’s complete on its own.

Kitchen

Counters, backsplash, and sink. Appliance exteriors and the outside of the stovetop and range. Cabinet and drawer faces wiped down. Floors swept and mopped. Trash out.

Bathrooms

Toilet cleaned and sanitized, bowl to base. Shower, tub, and the tile around them. Sink, vanity, counters, and mirror. Floors and trash.

Every room

Dusting of reachable surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs in place, sweeping and mopping hard floors, general tidying, and trash and recycling out to your bin.

Where the line sits

“Reachable” means from the floor or a two-step stool. Anything higher than that we leave alone — it’s a safety line, not a shortcut.

Not in Essential

A few things aren’t in Essential, and we’d rather say so up front than have you find out on the day: bed-making and linen changes, the insides of appliances, interior windows, and baseboards. Those come with the Complete or Signature tiers, or you can add them on individually when you book. If you want the fuller picture of scope before you decide, our standard house cleaning page lays out what’s included at each level.

02 / Options

House cleaning options in Oakland

Three tiers, and you pick the one that fits the day.

From $179

Essential

The standard clean above. The front door of the whole thing.

Essential, plus

Complete

Essential plus interior windows, appliance fronts, exterior cabinet detailing, light fixtures, blinds, inside the microwave, and beds made with fresh linens.

Complete, plus

Signature

Complete plus specialty detailing, range hood degreasing, two eligible add-ons included, priority scheduling, and a walkthrough before we start.

You don’t have to commit to anything. Every tier is available as a one-time clean or on a recurring rhythm.

A one-time clean is the same scope and the same price structure as a regular visit, with no plan attached. If you’d rather not think about it again, recurring cleaning runs weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly at a lower base rate. Recurring rates are commitment-based, so the terms are worth a read in our cancellation policy before you pick a rhythm.

If it’s been a while — six months, a year, or the place has never had a professional clean — deep cleaning is the better starting point. Most people book one deep clean first and go recurring after that, which keeps the regular visits shorter.

03 / Where we clean

Where in Oakland we clean

We work in three cities: San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. That’s the whole map, on purpose — it keeps us close enough to show up when we say we will.

A lot of Oakland homes are older Victorian or Craftsman properties with original hardwood and detailed woodwork. Cleaning them well takes more care, not more force — low-moisture floor cleaning, gentler products on old finishes, and extra time on the wood detail. Your cleaner works that way by default in homes like these, and if a surface looks like it needs a specialist rather than a cleaner, we’ll say so instead of guessing.

Apartments and condos

We clean apartments and condos as often as we clean houses. Pricing goes by bedrooms, square footage, and condition — not by whether you’re in a single-family home, a duplex, or a fourth-floor unit. A one-bedroom apartment and a one-bedroom cottage price the same way. If there’s a gate code, a callbox, or a service elevator we should know about, there’s a spot for that when you book, so your cleaner gets in and starts on time.

04 / Prices

What cleaning costs in Oakland

Oakland pricing runs about 10% below San Francisco, where house cleaning starts at $179 — the booking minimum for a single clean with no plan attached.

What moves your price from there: the size of your home, how many bedrooms and bathrooms it has, what condition it’s in, which tier you choose, and which city you’re in. Add-ons like inside the oven, interior windows, or baseboards are priced separately, and there’s a flat pet surcharge on house and deep cleans that covers the extra dander and hair.

The honest answer to “what will mine cost” is a number, not a range, and you can get it in about two minutes. Get your price online — the form asks for your ZIP, size, and condition, and gives you the figure on the spot. If you want the full breakdown of tiers and add-ons before you start, it’s all on our pricing page.

05 / Who shows up

Who shows up

One cleaner, assigned to you, the same person every visit. Not a rotating roster and not a crew — after a couple of visits, they know your place, and you stop having to explain where things go.

We’re owner-operated, insured and bonded. Sygora maintains general liability insurance appropriate to a residential cleaning business.

We bring everything — all products and equipment. If you’d rather we use eco-friendly products, that’s an add-on you can select at booking.

If anything’s not right, tell us within 24 hours and we’ll re-clean the affected areas free. Pets are welcome, and worth mentioning at booking — your cleaner works around them safely and keeps doors and gates the way you left them. Sensitive to scents? Say so when you book and we’ll respect your fragrance preferences. And if the job turns out bigger than what you described, we talk to you first — added time or scope is always confirmed with you before it costs anything more.

Off by default, unless you check the box

Some rooms we won’t enter unless you check the box at booking. It’s off by default because your home is yours, and you shouldn’t have to ask for that.

06 / Booking

07 / Other cleaning

Other cleaning we do in Oakland

Moving is the big one. Move-out cleaning is built around the walkthrough and the deposit at the end of it, with a heavier scope than a regular visit — and move-in cleaning for the other side of the same week.

There’s more than fits here, and it’s all on the full list of cleaning services. If you’re not sure which one your situation calls for, book the standard clean and tell us what you’re dealing with — we’ll say if something else fits better.

08 / Questions
