CERTIFIED, HIGHLY RATED & TRUSTED in Ajax

Ajax's Trusted House Cleaning Service

Ajax House Cleaning, Done Right the First Time

House cleaning services in Ajax cover two different home profiles. South of Kingston Road, the builds are older. We're talking 1980s brick detached near the waterfront, finished basements, smaller rooms. North of Kingston Road, the homes are newer. Open-concept layouts, vinyl plank, attached garages. The checklist is the same. The products and timing adjust to what's in front of us. We've cleaned 1,500+ Durham Region homes since 2017, including recurring, deep, and move-out bookings.

Cleaning service coverage runs all of Ajax, from the waterfront up through Westney Heights in the north. We also cover Pickering and Oshawa for recurring clients along the Durham corridor. The 24-hour cancellation window is there for a reason. Ajax runs on the GO Train. When the Lakeshore East line delays, schedules shift by an hour. A late cancellation fee on top of that is not something we do.

Hourly Cleaning

Hourly works well for older homes south of Bayly Street. Smaller rooms, finished basements, different surface types. You set the priority list. The team works through it. For condos near Harwood and Kingston, honestly the package makes more sense than hourly unless you only need specific rooms done. Rate is $59 per cleaner per hour.

  • $59 per cleaner per hour — before HST
  • 3-hour minimum per visit
  • Up to 4 cleaners, up to 12 hours

          Ajax Neighbourhoods We Clean

          Cleaning services in Ajax cover the full city — from the older waterfront communities along Lake Ontario up through the newer detached suburbs north of Kingston Road. The GO Train runs through Ajax. That means last-minute booking changes are common when the Lakeshore East line delays. The 24-hour cancellation window handles that without a fee.

          Audley Central West Riverside

          Frequently Asked Questions

          Ajax House Cleaning Answers

          Pricing, timing, standard practices, local availability, and how recurring bookings actually work in your city.

          House cleaning in Ajax starts at $89 for a studio. Prices increase based on bedroom and bathroom counts. Most local homes fall between $89 and $278 before 13% HST. Hourly service runs $59 per cleaner per hour with a 3-hour minimum.

          • Studio apartment: $89
          • 1 bed / 1 bath condo in Pickering Village North: $188
          • 2 bed / 1 bath townhome: $208
          • 3 bed / 2 bath detached home in Audley: $258
          • 4 bed / 2 bath family home: $278
          • Recurring discounts apply from your second visit automatically.

          A standard clean on a 3-bedroom home typically takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours with one cleaner. Larger properties in Audley require additional time for basement dust removal. Two-cleaner teams cut these durations roughly in half.

          • Studio condo: 1.5 to 2 hours with 1 cleaner.
          • 2-bed home: 2 to 2.5 hours with 1 cleaner.
          • 3-bed detached: 2.5 to 3.5 hours with 1 cleaner.
          • 4-bed home: 3.5 to 5 hours with 1 cleaner.
          • Team sizes depend heavily on daily schedule availability.

          Hellamaid charges $59 per cleaner per hour with a 3-hour minimum. One cleaner for three hours costs $177 before tax. Two cleaners for three hours costs $354 before tax. For most Ajax townhomes under 1,400 sqft, one cleaner for three hours covers the job cleanly.

          • 1 cleaner for 3 hrs: $177 before tax.
          • 2 cleaners for 3 hrs: $354 before tax.
          • 2 cleaners for 4 hrs: $472 before tax.
          • 3 cleaners for 3 hrs: $531 before tax.
          • Hourly bookings qualify for recurring frequency discounts.

          Tipping is never required. Honestly, it is entirely your call. Many clients leave $10 to $20 per cleaner after a heavy move-out clean at end-of-month. That timing hits hard in Ajax — September and the last week of each month are our busiest turnover periods. Cash on the counter works perfectly.

          • Tipping remains entirely optional for every visit.
          • $10 to $20 per cleaner is common after move-out cleans.
          • Cash left on the counter is the preferred method.
          • Leaving a Google review helps cleaners build their internal profiles directly.

          A professional cleaning covers all accessible surfaces. Bathrooms and kitchen sanitation are handled completely. Upselling at the door is something we refuse to do — that is non-negotiable for us. In Ajax newer builds, baseboard dust accumulates faster near garage entries. We account for that on every visit.

          • Included: All accessible surfaces and baseboards.
          • Included: Complete bathroom and kitchen sanitation.
          • Not included: Exterior windows. Garage sweeping. Yard maintenance.
          • Add-ons like inside appliances must be selected during booking.
          • Cleaners arrive with all necessary professional supplies.

          Yes. Products are professional-grade and safe for residential use. No bleach or harsh fumes in standard kits. In Ajax, we see a lot of open-concept layouts near Duffins Bay — parents with young children book us specifically because of the no-bleach policy. Specific product preferences can be noted at checkout.

          • Products are safe for children and household pets.
          • Bleach is excluded from our standard cleaning kits.
          • Allergy notes can be added easily at checkout.
          • Cleaners supply all their own liquids and tools.

          • Home preferences carry forward automatically.
          • Substitutes utilize the exact same room-by-room checklist.
          • Clients receive notifications if a regular cleaner is absent.

          Yes. Airbnb turnover cleaning is available as a bookable add-on. The service covers full guest-facing resets. Cleaners handle linen changes and complete surface sanitation. Check-in deadlines dictate our strict arrival punctuality.

          • Baseboards and bathroom grout receive focused attention.
          • Book 48 hours in advance to secure end-of-month slots.

          Yes. Both protocols apply to every cleaner on the roster. We run criminal background checks before the first shift. Liability insurance covers every booking automatically.

          • $5M liability insurance protects your property.
          • Criminal background checks are strictly mandatory.
          • Cleaners execute a documented room-by-room system.
          • Hellamaid holds a Living Wage Employer certification.
