Household services in India: prices and how to order

Updated 4 November 2026

A household service in India usually costs from ₹99 an hour for regular help, while a deep clean of a 2BHK flat is quoted at roughly ₹2,500–₹9,500, depending on the standard you choose. For current prices in your city, describe the job on BlaBlaPrice and you will see what local sellers and businesses charge now.

Local rules and what to check

Ask every seller for a fixed price per visit or per hour in rupees, and check whether the price includes cleaning supplies and taxes. Trade licence fees for a business premises depend on the city and the size of the premises. One guide gives ₹120–₹500 a year for premises up to 100 sq. ft. and ₹3,000–₹5,000 a year for premises above 2,000 sq. ft., so ask a seller who works from premises whether they hold a licence.

Wet and dry seasons

India's climate is tropical, so there is no winter or summer break, only wet and dry seasons. Damp and humidity in the rainy months make bathrooms, windows and fans more urgent to clean. Because the wet season differs between Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, say in the request which month and which city area the work is for.

How the service is priced

Hourly help is priced per hour, a full clean per flat or per room, and a deep clean is often quoted per square foot. Snippets from local sellers show ₹8–₹15 per sq ft for a deep clean. Square feet are the common unit here; 1 m² is about 10.8 sq ft, so write the area in whichever unit you know. Give your locality as well as your city, because the same job can be priced differently from one area to the next.

What to write in your request

Say what needs cleaning and where: the number of rooms or the flat area in sq ft, whether it is a one-off clean or regular visits, and whether you want the sofa, carpets or kitchen included. Add the date you need the work done and your budget per visit or per hour. A clear request lets sellers quote a real price instead of a range.
