Cleaning details and local conditions
About 24.0% of housing units were built before 1950, and the median year of construction for all units is 1967, indicating many properties may have multiple levels or unique layouts that influence cleaning time and crew allocation.
While most of the 40,288 occupied units are owner-occupied (23,344 units), 16,944 are renter-occupied. The average household size is 2.34 people. These factors help determine the scope of a cleaning visit, from the number of rooms and bathrooms to the size of common areas. Understanding the specific characteristics of each property, whether it's a multi-story home or an apartment, allows for accurate planning of crew size and time on site.

Frequently asked questions
Is a house in Portsmouth priced differently from an apartment?
61.5% of housing units in Portsmouth are detached single-family houses (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25024), so most jobs here are whole-house cleans priced on bedrooms and bathrooms rather than on a studio or one-bed rate. Tell us the bedroom count when you book and the price you see is the price you pay.
Does the age of the housing in Portsmouth affect a deep clean?
Yes — the median home in Portsmouth was built in 1967 and 24% of units date from before 1950 (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25035; US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25034). Older homes bring painted trim, original wood floors, radiator surrounds and grouted tile that all take longer than newer surfaces. Say what you have and we set a realistic time on the job rather than rushing it.
Can you clean between tenancies in Portsmouth?
Yes. 16,944 occupied units in Portsmouth are rented (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25003), so end-of-lease and turnover cleans are routine here. Book for the day after the keys come back and we work to an empty-property checklist.
How long does a clean take for a typical Portsmouth household?
Average household size in Portsmouth is 2.34 people (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25010), which in practice means family-sized kitchens, more bathrooms in use and more laundry surfaces than a single-occupant flat. A standard clean at that size is usually a half day; a first deep clean is longer.
How much of Portsmouth do you actually cover?
All of it. Portsmouth has 97,190 residents across 43,318 housing units (US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B01003; US Census Bureau ACS 5-Year 2024 (2020-2024), Table B25024) — a small enough area that we take bookings anywhere inside it rather than only on selected streets.
What do you need to know before a first visit in Portsmouth?
How to get in, whether there is off-street parking, whether there are pets in the home, and anything you would rather we left alone. Those four answers decide the arrival window and how the crew packs the van.
Do you cover the rest of Portsmouth city?
We take bookings across Portsmouth city and list every area we cover on the county page — if an area is not listed, we are not open there yet rather than quietly taking the job.

The cleaner service was excellent. I was leery at first because everything is done online and I wasn't sure how secure it was. I am happy I took a chance because it was the best clean I've ever had.
