Why Georgia’s Cleaning Market Is Surging
Georgia is the eighth most populous state and one of the fastest-growing in the Southeast. The engine is Atlanta — a sprawling metro area of over 6 million people that ranks as one of the top destinations for domestic migration. The suburbs of Cobb, Gwinnett, Forsyth, and Fulton counties are growing at rates that create constant demand for cleaning services.
Georgia’s economy is diverse and resilient. Atlanta is a major hub for logistics (Hartsfield-Jackson is the world’s busiest airport), film production, financial services, and technology. This brings a steady stream of professionals and corporate offices — all potential clients. The median household income of $65,000 puts professional cleaning within reach for a broad swath of the population.
Beyond Atlanta, Georgia offers strong secondary markets. Savannah’s tourism industry drives vacation rental demand. Augusta’s healthcare and military sectors provide steady commercial cleaning contracts. Columbus, Macon, and Athens each have growing local economies and underserved cleaning markets. For entrepreneurs willing to think beyond the Perimeter, Georgia offers statewide opportunity.
Atlanta: The Southeast’s Growth Engine
Metro Atlanta adds roughly 60,000 new residents per year, making it one of the fastest-growing metros in the U.S. Every new household is a potential client, and the region’s suburban sprawl means cleaning businesses can scale across multiple counties from a single base of operations.

What Georgia Cleaners Charge
Georgia rates center on the Atlanta metro, with pricing varying significantly by location and service type.
| Service | Price Range | Average |
|---|---|---|
| Standard House Cleaning | $110 – $250 | $165 |
| Deep Cleaning | $200 – $460 | $310 |
| Move-Out Cleaning | $250 – $530 | $370 |
| Office Cleaning (per sq ft) | $0.07 – $0.17 | $0.11 |
| Recurring Weekly Service | $95 – $210 | $140 |
Atlanta’s affluent northern suburbs (Buckhead, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek) command premium rates. Midtown and intown neighborhoods pay well for recurring services. Savannah rates rise during tourist season. Markets outside metro Atlanta are 15–25% lower but have proportionally less competition.
