Home & house cleaning

Updated 4 November 2026

In Canada, a standard house cleaning costs approximately CA$160 to CA$320 per visit and a deep clean CA$200 to CA$450, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. In Calgary, a standard clean starts near CA$130. To get a price for your home, send a request on BlaBlaPrice with the size of the home and the type of clean.

Business licences and insurance

Licensing depends on the city. Some provinces and cities require a business licence for cleaners, and Calgary publishes its own business guide for cleaning services, with non-refundable licence fees. Starting a cleaning business in Ontario also involves insurance. Ask the cleaner whether they are licensed where you live and insured for work in your home.

Seasons and your home

Canada's seasons are sharp. From December to February, cold and snow arrive in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary, and boots and wet coats bring more dirt indoors. June to August is the easiest time to plan window and balcony work, because it can be done in dry weather. Book a deep clean before a move or a holiday visit, and allow a little extra time for a large home.

How cleaning is bought here

Cleaners quote per visit or per hour, and the table shows both models. Canadian sellers still often give the floor area in square feet, as in a standard 2,000 sq ft house, so write the size in both square feet and square metres. Tell the cleaner whether they should bring their own products and equipment, and whether windows and balcony are included.

What to write in your request

Say the type of clean (regular, deep, move-out or post-renovation), the floor area and number of bedrooms, and the type of home, whether a house, condo or apartment. Add the area of your city, how often you want the clean, and whether windows, balcony or extras are included. Give your budget, so sellers can quote within it.

On BlaBlaPrice, posting a request is free for buyers. You describe the clean in your own words in a chat, and a photo of the rooms helps. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for any missing details, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered cleaners reply in the chat with their price, terms and availability, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide whom to contact. If you need more than a regular clean, see post-renovation cleaning or window and facade cleaning.
