You just bought a house or an apartment and you need professionals who take care of the mess left by the former tenant. Even if the condition of the home does not require deep cleaning, do not hesitate to call cleaning company to make your new home clean, sanitized, sparkling and ready to move-in. If your house is empty you don’t need the team of four people ( they can be done in 1 or 2 hours and charge you more than if they send 1 or 2 people). Remember to ask them if the cleaning person provides her own equipment and supplies. 
Cleaning rate: $20 - $30 per hour ( one cleaning professional)
