Renting? Add the fridge and oven.

Alberta inspection reports have a line for each appliance, so landlords open both. A move clean covers the outside of appliances. The inside is the add-on.

Hourly cleaning has a 3-hour minimum. For an empty home, the package is usually the better deal.

Getting Your Damage Deposit Back in Calgary

Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act limits what a Calgary landlord can keep. A landlord can only deduct for damage if they completed both a move-in and a move-out inspection report. Normal wear and tear can’t be deducted. The landlord then has 10 days after you give up possession to return the deposit or send a statement of account.

A clean won’t save a deposit from real damage. What it does is take “needs cleaning” off the list of reasons to deduct. Honestly, that’s the part a cleaner can control.

How we’d time your move-out clean

  1. Book the clean for the day before your inspection. That leaves room to fix anything before the walkthrough.
  2. Bring your move-in report. Compare it room by room with the empty unit.
  3. Take dated photos once the cleaners leave.
  4. Flag misses within 24 hours. Our satisfaction policy covers a return visit to fix them.

What Makes a Calgary Move-Out Clean Different

Calgary move-outs bunch up at month-end and again before September 1. The water is hard enough to leave scale on every shower. Winter moves drag gravel across empty floors. Each of these changes how we plan the clean, and when you should book it.

  • The month-end crunchBook 1 to 2 weeks ahead

    Most Calgary leases turn over on the 1st of the month. That pushes move-out cleans into the last few days, and those dates fill first.

    If your inspection is on the 31st, book the 30th. Mid-month moves are much easier to schedule.

  • September student turnoverLate August is the rush

    Rentals near the University of Calgary and SAIT flip in the last week of August. Varsity and Brentwood have plenty of shared basement suites that turn over that same week.

    Shared units usually need the inside-fridge add-on. Four roommates means four shelves of leftovers.

  • Hard water scaleWorst in south Calgary

    South Calgary water peaks at 290 mg/L hardness. North Calgary peaks at 211 mg/L (City of Calgary, 2024).

    A unit that went months without a proper clean has scale bonded to the shower glass. It’s the slowest part of most Calgary move-out bathrooms.

  • Winter and chinook movesClean after the last load

    Movers carry gravel and chinook slush straight across bare floors. A clean booked before the truck leaves gets undone in an hour.

    Schedule us for after the last box is out. Same-day afternoon slots work well for this.

  • Condo move rulesBeltline and downtown towers

    Many towers in the Beltline and East Village make you reserve the service elevator for moving day. Some charge a move fee too.

    Book our clean outside your elevator window. Add fob and parking notes to the booking so the team gets in on time.

  • New-build possessionPick the right clean

    Getting keys to a new home in Seton or Legacy? Builder cleans often leave fine drywall dust in vents and cabinets.

    For that, post-construction cleaning (+$199 on the package) is the better fit than a move-in clean.

One honest tip: move cleans are priced for empty homes. If boxes are still in the unit, we clean around them, and you’re paying for a clean you can’t fully use. Wait until it’s empty.

“Rita and Jayde did my move-out clean and I got my full deposit back. They arrived on time, done right at the 3-hour mark. I had lived there 3 years with two cats, spots built up over time, and they absolutely crushed it. The walk-through the next morning was a 2-second look around.”

Calgary Move-Out Cleaning Questions

Straight answers on price, access and getting your deposit back.

How much does move out cleaning cost in Calgary?

Move out cleaning in Calgary costs $347 to $547 at Hellamaid for homes from 1 to 4 bedrooms. That’s your package price plus a $159 move-in/move-out upgrade, before 5% GST.

  • 1 bed / 1 bath, about 650 sq ft: $347
  • 2 bed / 1 bath, about 1,100 sq ft: $387
  • 3 bed / 2 bath, about 1,800 sq ft: $457
  • 4 bed / 3 bath, about 2,500 sq ft: $547

Inside the fridge and oven are $29 each, and inside cabinets is $39. Half baths and basements change the total. Booking online shows your exact price before you pay anything.

What is included in a move-in or move-out clean?

A move-in/move-out clean includes our standard checklist plus every deep clean task. It also adds work that only makes sense in an empty home.

  • Walls and vents: scuffs spot-cleaned and every vent wiped
  • Ceilings and fans: dusted from the top down
  • Kitchen: behind the appliances plus the range hood
  • Deep clean tasks: baseboards plus door frames

Inside the fridge and oven are add-ons, and so are cabinet interiors. Choose them in booking if you’re handing back a rental. Exterior windows and balconies aren’t included. Neither is mold removal.

Do I need to be home for my move-out clean?

No, you don’t need to be home. Many Calgary clients are already at their new place when we clean.

  • Leave a lockbox code or smart-lock code in your booking
  • For condos, add concierge and fob details
  • Note your parking spot or visitor parking rules

Keep the power and water on until we finish. We can’t clean properly without lights and hot water. Your card is charged only after the clean is complete. Then you have 24 hours to tell us about anything we missed, and we’ll arrange a time to fix it.

Are your Calgary move-out cleaners insured and background-checked?

Yes. Every Hellamaid clean in Calgary is covered by $5M in liability insurance, and every cleaner is background-checked before their first job.

That matters more on a move than on a regular clean. You’re often handing keys to an empty unit, and some property managers ask for proof of insurance before they grant access. Ask our team if your building needs proof of coverage.

We’ve cleaned Calgary homes since 2017, and we’re rated 4.8 on Google from 190+ local reviews.

Can you clean a condo that has move-in elevator rules?

Yes. Elevator bookings and fob entry are routine for our Calgary teams, especially in the Beltline and the downtown core.

  • Book our clean outside your reserved elevator window so movers and cleaners don’t compete
  • Add fob and concierge notes to your booking
  • Tell us where we can park, since many towers limit visitor stalls

Condo boards set their own move rules and fees, so check your building’s bylaws first. A 1-bedroom condo move-out is $347 before GST, and a 2-bedroom is $387.

Will a move-out clean get my damage deposit back?

A move-out clean removes cleaning as a reason for deductions, but it can’t undo damage. Under Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act, a landlord needs signed move-in and move-out inspection reports to deduct for damage, and can’t charge for normal wear and tear.

  • Book the clean for the day before your inspection
  • Add inside the fridge and oven, since both are on the report
  • Take dated photos once we finish

Your landlord has 10 days after you give up possession to return the deposit or explain deductions. Disputes go to Alberta’s RTDRS. This is general information, not legal advice.
