Whole House Cleaning Time Calculator
Calculate total cleaning time for an entire house by number of rooms and cleaning depth.
How We Calculate This
This calculator multiplies the number of each room type by an average area and a base cleaning rate per square metre, then applies a depth multiplier.
Average room sizes (UK typical)
- Bedroom: 14 m² at 1.5 min/m²
- Bathroom: 6 m² at 3.0 min/m²
- Reception room: 18 m² at 1.8 min/m²
- Kitchen: 12 m² at 2.5 min/m²
- Hallway/landing: 8 m² at 1.2 min/m²
Depth multipliers
Quick tidy: 0.5x | Standard: 1.0x | Deep clean: 1.6x
Formula: Sum of (rooms × average area × base rate) × depth multiplier
