The five rates, and nothing hidden behind them
Every rate below is per hour, per cleaner, in Canadian dollars, and applies everywhere we work. What changes between homes is the time, never the rate.
| Service | Rate per hour, per cleaner | Typical team | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Cleaning | $32/h | 1–2 cleaners | Recurring upkeep: bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, floors, dusting. Furniture stays in place. |
| Deep Cleaning | $36/h | 2 cleaners | Everything in General plus inside the oven, fridge and microwave, baseboards, frames, grout and built-up grime. |
| Move-Out & Move-In | $40/h | 2–3 cleaners | Built to the landlord inspection checklist: inside all appliances and cabinets, interior windows, tracks and frames. |
| Carpet Shampooing | $42/h | 1–2 technicians | Hot-water extraction for carpets, area rugs and upholstery. Pet-safe products, dry in 4–6 hours. |
| Premium House Cleaning | $45/h | 3 cleaners, fixed | Full reset. Furniture and appliances moved, cleaned behind and beneath, walls, ceilings, fans and screens. Needs exclusive access. |
Not sure whether your home needs a general or a deep clean? That single decision is the most common reason people end up disappointed, so we settle it before you book — see how general and deep cleaning differ
What real Vancouver homes actually pay
The arithmetic is always the same: rate × cleaners × hours. Nothing else goes into the number. These are the sizes we clean most often.
| Home and service | Billable hours | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bed / 1 bath condo — general, biweekly | 3 h | $96 |
| 2 bed / 2 bath condo — general, biweekly | 4 h | $128 |
| 3 bed house — general, biweekly | 5 h | $160 |
| 2 bed / 2 bath condo — first deep clean | 5 h | $180 |
| 3 bed house — first deep clean | 6 h | $216 |
| 2 bed / 2 bath condo — move-out, empty | 6 h | $240 |
| 3 bed house — move-out, empty | 7 h | $280 |
| 4 bed house — move-out, empty | 8 h | $320 |
| Two rooms and a hallway — carpet | 3 h | $126 |
| Whole house with stairs — carpet | 6 h | $252 |
| 3 bed house — premium full reset | 21 h | $945 |
A two-hour clean is $64 with one cleaner and $128 with two. Two hours is realistic for a studio or a small one-bedroom on regular maintenance. For anything larger, or a home that has not been professionally cleaned in months, two hours will not finish the job — and we tell you that before you book, not after. The full breakdown of hours and cost by home size goes from a studio up to 5,000 sq ft, and why we charge by the hour explains what a flat price has to hide to be a flat price.

What you are actually paying for
Employees, not subcontractors
Our cleaners are on payroll with proper wages, which is why the same team comes back and why the standard does not drift between visits.
The price does not move
You get a fixed total in writing before the visit. Nothing is re-priced at the door while a team is already standing in your hallway.
Fully insured and bonded
Liability insurance and bonding on every visit, included in the rate. It is the single biggest difference between us and the cheap end.
Eco-premium products
Safe around children and pets, and strong enough for Vancouver damp. Products, equipment and cloths are all ours and all included.
A written checklist
You know what is being done before anyone arrives, so “was that included?” never becomes a conversation afterwards.
24-hour re-clean
If something was missed, tell us within 24 hours and we come back. No argument, no extra charge.
Before & after, documented — and private by law
We photograph our work so the result is verifiable. Those photos are yours, and what happens to them is set out in writing, not left to goodwill.
Fully documented
Before-and-after photos of the areas we clean, so you can check the result even when you were not there.

House cleaning prices in Vancouver: your questions
How much does a house cleaner cost in Vancouver?
It depends on the service. General cleaning is $32 per hour per cleaner, deep cleaning $36, move-out $40, carpet shampooing $42 and our Premium full reset $45. Most insured companies in Metro Vancouver sit between $40 and $60, so our general rate starts below the band. What varies within a service is only the time: a one-bedroom condo on recurring cleaning takes about three hours with one cleaner ($96), while a three-bedroom house needing a first deep clean takes two cleaners about five hours ($216).
How much do cleaners charge per hour in Vancouver?
Between $40 and $60 per hour per cleaner among insured companies. Rates under $35 usually mean no liability insurance, no background checks, or subcontracted staff who change every visit. Our general cleaning is $32 with all three covered, because we run employees rather than subcontractors.
What is the going rate for house cleaning in BC?
Across British Columbia rates run roughly $35 to $60 per hour per cleaner, with Metro Vancouver at the higher end because of labour costs. Flat-rate quotes exist too, but they are built from the same arithmetic: hours multiplied by people.
How much is a 2 hour clean?
$64 with one cleaner, $128 with two, at the general cleaning rate. Two hours is realistic for a studio or a small one-bedroom on regular maintenance. For anything larger, or for a home that has not been professionally cleaned in months, two hours will not finish the job — we will tell you that before you book rather than after.
Is it worth paying for a deep clean?
If it has been more than three months since a professional clean, yes. A deep clean costs roughly double a general one but it resets the baseline, and every recurring visit afterwards is faster and cheaper. Booking a general clean on a home that needs a deep one is the most common way people end up disappointed with the result.
How much does a move out clean cost in Vancouver?
From $280 for a two-bedroom condo (two cleaners, about five hours) and from $320 for a four-bedroom house, at $40 per hour per cleaner. Move-out takes longer than a deep clean because it follows the landlord’s inspection checklist: inside every appliance and cabinet, interior windows, tracks and frames. The point is the deposit, and the deposit is usually larger than the difference.
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Vancouver?
Carpet shampooing is $42 per hour per technician. Two rooms and a hallway are usually about two hours ($126); a whole house with stairs takes two technicians about three hours ($252). Send us the rooms and we come back with a fixed number the same day.
Do you charge extra to travel to my area?
No. The same rates apply in Vancouver, North and West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Langley, Delta and Maple Ridge. No call-out fee, no fuel surcharge, no minimum outside the city.
Do I tip house cleaners in Vancouver?
Tipping is not expected and never built into our pricing. Our cleaners are employees on proper wages, not contractors relying on tips. If you want to recognise a great job, a Google review naming the team means more to them — and to us — than cash.
Can the price change after you arrive?
No. We confirm a fixed estimate in writing before the visit, based on the size and condition you describe. If we arrive and the home is substantially different from what was described, we tell you what it would take and you decide — nothing gets re-priced while the team is already working.
