If you have searched for “how much do cleaners charge in Lagos”, you have probably seen prices that range from ₦7,000 to over ₦150,000 for what sounds like the same job. That gap is real — and it comes down to property size, condition, the type of clean and who is doing it. This guide brings together the most recent published price surveys for Lagos, explains what drives the cost, and shows you how to get an accurate quote.
Regular home cleaning prices in Lagos
Regular (standard) cleaning covers dusting, sweeping, vacuuming and mopping, kitchen surfaces, bathrooms and toilets, and trash removal. It is the service most families book weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.
| Property size | Typical price range (₦) |
|---|---|
| 1-bedroom flat | 20,000 – 25,000 |
| 2-bedroom flat | 27,000 – 37,000 |
| 3-bedroom flat | 30,000 – 40,000 |
| 4-bedroom flat | 33,000 – 45,000 |
| Half duplex | 37,000 – 50,000 |
| Full duplex | 42,000 – 55,000 |
Some smaller providers advertise much lower flat rates — for example ₦7,000–₦15,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, or ₦1,500–₦3,000 per hour. These usually mean one cleaner, the client's own products and equipment, and no supervision. Always check what is included before comparing prices.
Deep cleaning prices in Lagos
Deep cleaning goes far beyond a regular clean: inside cabinets and appliances, degreasing kitchens, descaling bathrooms and grout, ceiling fans, light fittings, window tracks and behind furniture. It takes longer, needs a bigger team and more products — so it costs more.
| Property size | Typical price range (₦) |
|---|---|
| 1-bedroom flat | 24,000 – 30,000 |
| 2-bedroom flat | 36,000 – 45,000 |
| 3-bedroom flat | 40,000 – 51,000 |
| 4-bedroom flat | 43,000 – 55,000 |
| Half duplex | 48,000 – 62,000 |
| Full duplex | 65,000 – 70,000+ |
Homes that have not been professionally cleaned for months, homes with heavy kitchen grease, or homes after a party or illness usually sit at the top of these ranges or above them.

| Fumigation | 10,000 – 55,000 | By property size; bedbugs and termites cost more — see fumigation prices |
| Sofa cleaning | from about 5,000 per seat | Mattresses from about 7,000 |

| Window cleaning | 5,000 – 7,500 per window | Large glass areas and façades are quoted separately |
What affects the cost of cleaning in Lagos?
- Property size. The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas is the biggest driver. A full duplex can take three to four times longer than a 1-bedroom flat.
- Condition. A home cleaned weekly is quicker to clean than one left for months. Construction dust, heavy grease or mould add hours.
- Type of clean. Regular, deep, move-out and post-construction cleans each need different time, team sizes and products.
- Location. Island areas such as Lekki, VI and Ikoyi are typically priced higher than Mainland areas because of travel time and demand.
- Frequency. Weekly or monthly plans usually cost less per visit than one-off cleans.
- Products and equipment. Professional companies bring industrial vacuums, steam cleaners and quality chemicals; budget cleaners may expect you to supply them.
- Supervision and vetting. Background-checked, trained, supervised teams cost more than casual labour — and protect your property.
- Timing. December, Easter and other festive periods are peak season. Book early to secure a slot.
Island vs Mainland: why prices differ
Many Lagos cleaning companies charge more for Island jobs. One published price list, for example, quoted ₦50,000 for a three-bedroom post-construction clean on the Mainland against ₦60,000 on the Island, and ₦70,000 against ₦100,000 for a four-bedroom duplex (3D Janitorial Services, 2021). The difference reflects longer travel times, traffic on routes like the Lekki–Epe Expressway and Third Mainland Bridge, and the higher finishing standards expected in many Island homes.
Cheap cleaners vs a professional cleaning company
A low price can be tempting, but in Lagos the biggest risks are trust, reliability and damage to property. Before you book, compare what you are actually getting:
| What to check | Casual / budget cleaner | Professional cleaning company |
|---|---|---|
| Staff vetting | Often unknown | Background and reference checks |
| Supervision | None | Supervisor inspects the work |
| Equipment & products | Often supplied by you | Professional-grade, brought by the team |
| Checklist | Rarely | Written checklist for every job |
| Accountability | Hard to trace | Registered business, written quote, guarantee |
| Re-clean if unhappy | Unlikely | Usually included |
