Lin NormanLiving in Nashville guarantees a few things: live music on every corner, hot chicken that tests your tolerance, and the occasional bachelorette party tractor blocking your commute. But the city also brings a specific kind of reality.
Dust settles here just like anywhere else, usually coating the baseboards you have been ignoring for months.
I reached my breaking point during the holiday rush when the grime started winning, so I dug into the local scene to find help.
That’s why I tested specific services to see which handled the mess best. In this list, you will find crews that scrub baseboards until they look new, and others that know exactly how to clean around a nervous dog without causing a scene.
Here are the best cleaning services in Nashville that saved me from the mess.
How much do cleaning services cost in Nashville?
The price tag for a clean in Nashville depends entirely on your square footage and the depth of the scrub.
For a standard two-bedroom apartment or smaller home, bi-weekly maintenance cleans typically range from $120 to $250.
Initial deep cleans, like scrubbing ovens and getting behind the fridge, often run from $250 to $450 or more, scaling with square footage.
Reputable companies usually charge hourly, from $40 to $65 per cleaner, or flat rates after a walkthrough.
Always ask if supplies are included to avoid surprises.
1. Music City Maid Service
Website: https://musiccitymaidservice.com/
Address: 3716 Nolensville Pike
Contact: (615) 965-4011 | [email protected]
Hours: 24/7 Booking & Customer Support
Music City Maid Service’s booking system allows you to schedule a cleaning the moment you realize you need it, even if that realization hits at 10 PM on a Tuesday.
This immediate access prevents the panic that sets in when you have guests arriving the next day.
I like that their cleaners follow a set routine designed for speed, which benefits families who cannot afford to have a team lingering in the background for eight hours.
They’re also locally owned, which adds a nice personal touch compared to big chains.
However, this convenience can also mean premium pricing. Their rates are also higher than the average independent cleaner you might find on a community board.
While their teams work fast, specific time slots vanish quickly if you do not book well in advance. Users in distant locations on the outskirts of the service area might experience arrival delays due to travel logistics.
Thank you to our cleaners for making our home sparkle!
Music City Maid Service is the first cleaning service we have used, and they were prompt, professional, and thorough! Jesse is very responsive and helpful. Thank you to our cleaners for making our home sparkle!

Didn’t realize how much we needed this cleaning!
Absolutely great duo team! They had their system down and worked quickly and efficiently. Didn’t realize how much we needed this cleaning! Will definitely use this service again and hopefully I’ll get these two amazing ladies again!

2. We Clean Nashville
Website: https://wecleannashville.com/
Address: 501 Union Street #351
Contact: (615) 864-0321 | [email protected]
Hours: 24/7 Booking & Customer Support
We Clean Nashville tackles the jobs that require serious scrubbing rather than a light dusting. They serve a specific purpose: a total reset of your living space.
I found that locals tend to call this crew when a home has slid into disarray over six months or when a rental needs a deposit-securing move-out session.
I booked them when I felt overwhelmed during the holiday season. The way they cleaned the grime on baseboards I had ignored for years genuinely surprised me.
The downside to this depth is the cost and the time commitment.
This is not a service for a quick touch-up. They really take the time to scrub corners and hidden spots.
If you have a strict budget or a tight schedule, the results might exceed your immediate needs.
Exceeded our expectations in every way.
The team at We Clean Nashville did a great deep cleaning job on our house. Our previous maid retired 6 months ago and we needed someone to come in and get everything back in order. They exceeded our expectations in every way.

They left our home spotless and looking better than ever.
We recently had We Clean Nashville come through for the first time this past week, and we couldn’t be more impressed. The team was punctual, professional, and incredibly detailed. They left our home spotless and looking better than ever. With our busy schedules, it’s such a relief to have a cleaning service we can truly rely on to take care of our home with this level of care and quality. My wife and I are extremely happy with the results and plan to continue using their services regularly.

3. Karita’s Cleaning Service
Website: https://www.karitascleaningservice.com/
Areas Served: Murfreesboro, Nashville, and Bellevue
Contact: (629) 245-5257 | [email protected]
Hours:
- Mon-Fri 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Sat 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Karita’s Cleaning Service serves the wider metro area from Murfreesboro up to Nashville, often including organization in the process.
The team treats the home like a lived-in space, meaning they often rearrange furniture slightly to open up a room or tidy clutter that other cleaners might just step around.
This creates a partnership in home maintenance rather than just a transaction with a crew that strictly follows a checklist.
However, you must keep their strict cancellation policy in mind. They run a tight schedule to maintain fair pricing, so cancelling within 48 hours usually incurs a fee.
The flexibility here is more limited compared to larger on-demand platforms, but the attention to your home’s layout often makes the trade-off practical.
The best cleaning service I’ve booked in Nashville to date
Karitas is the best cleaning service I’ve booked in Nashville to date. Their communication is professional, prompt, and consistent. The cleaning is high quality and a fair price for the level of service. Highly recommend!

Solid five stars
My house was dirty and it’s extremely difficult to find the right company to do the job. Well, Karita’s are truly professionals! A three lady crew worked 5 hours and not only was my house immaculate when they finished the subtle changes to the arrangement of my furniture truly gave me more room to live in. I live in Murfreesboro and they work out of Murfreesboro which is important to me but Nashville and Franklin should be so lucky to have them so close. Writing this review four days after they were here…still a solid five stars.

4. Spokhund Cleaning Co.
Website: https://www.spokhund.com/
Address: 41 Peabody Street
Contact: (615) 314-4920 | [email protected]
Hours: Mon-Fri 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Spokhund Cleaning Co. sends cleaners who know how to work around pets, which is necessary in a city where dogs seem to dominate certain neighborhoods.
Staff arrive prepared for nervous animals, ensuring that your pets remain calm while the vacuum runs.
Beyond working around animals, the consistency of their cleaning keeps clients coming back long-term. They also send updates so you know exactly who is entering your home and when.
But as a smaller, high-demand service, they may require an initial adjustment period to align on specific expectations for your home.
You cannot always get a same-day appointment, making them a better option for those who plan their cleaning schedule a week or two in advance.
High performing cleaning service in Nashville.
First time using Spokhund and it was an amazing experience. Great communication from all members of the team. The crew who cleaned my house was so nice and had great attention to detail. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, high performing cleaning service in Nashville.

Above any other service here in nashville.
I have been using spokhund for years on and off. I recently decided to give a different cleaning service a try, and immediately returned to spokhund because they’re just better all around. They’re always nice and extremely considerate of my animals, they do a great job and communication is excellent. Definitely recommend above any other service here in nashville.

5. The Cleaning Authority Nashville
Website: https://www.thecleaningauthority.com/nashville/
Address: 3792B Nolensville Pike
Contact: (615) 654-6783
Hours: Mon-Fri 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
The Cleaning Authority uses a “Detail-Clean Rotation System” to ensure that different areas of your house receive deep attention on a rotating schedule.
One week, the kitchen gets the heavy scrub, and the next week, the bathrooms receive the focus. Their system requires trusting the long-term process rather than looking for a total overhaul every time they walk through the door.
A friend of mine has used them for years and relies on this method to keep the whole house maintained without paying for a deep clean every single visit.
The downside to this is that if you have a specific mess in the bathroom during a week when that room is not scheduled for the “deep” rotation. It might only get a standard wipe-down unless you request otherwise.
Deserving praise
I’d like to send some deserving praise. Team 21, Antonia and Jessica, have been providing their services for several visits now. Each time they enter the house they’ve got a smile and a great attitude. They are very pleasant people. My dog doesn’t even bark at them and he’s not one to be quiet about people being around us, let alone in the house. They are courteous, professional, and thorough. It’s a pleasure to have them in and I’m grateful for their wonderful service. I’ll always have a pot of coffee on for them. 🙂 11/14/2025

Hands down the best cleaning service I have ever used.
After decades of trial and (a few) errors, I have been a TCA Nashville customer for coming up on 3 years and they have been hands down the best cleaning service I have ever used. From the family owners down to the lovely ladies who take care of my home, the team is conscientious and professional. I can see that the business model is sound and they take care of their employees. I am especially fond of Antonia and Yicel whose work has been stellar! You cannot go wrong with TCA Nashville!
