Cleaning Services Vancouver

House cleaning in Vancouver starts at $188 + tax for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit. BC charges 5% GST and 7% PST on cleaning services, so your all-in cost on that base booking is around $210.56.

• 1-bed / 1-bath condo (Yaletown, West End, Mount Pleasant): from $188 + tax
• 3-bed / 2-bath detached home (Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Kitsilano): $300 - $400+
• Laneway house or coach home: priced by actual sqft and rooms, usually on the lower end
• Recurring discounts: 20% off weekly, 15% off bi-weekly, 10% off monthly (kicks in from your 2nd clean)

Your exact price shows up during the online booking before you pay anything. Square footage, bedrooms, and bathrooms are what move the number.

A standard clean hits every room you actually use day-to-day. In a typical Vancouver layout, whether that is a 700 sqft Coal Harbour condo or a 2,400 sqft Dunbar family home, it usually takes about 2 to 4 hours depending on size.

• Kitchen: countertops, stovetop, sink, backsplash, appliance exteriors
• Bathrooms: toilets, showers, tubs, vanities, mirrors
• Living spaces and bedrooms: dusting all surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors
• Throughout: baseboards, light switches, door handles, spot-cleaning marks on walls

Inside the oven, fridge, and cabinets are not included but can be added on ($29-$39 each). Same with interior windows.

Yes, and we deal with this constantly. Vancouver is probably 70% condo bookings for us at this point. Buildings in Coal Harbour, Yaletown, and False Creek all have different access protocols, and our team knows how to navigate them.

• Concierge sign-in: our cleaners carry ID and check in at the front desk
• Elevator bookings: let us know in the booking notes if your strata requires a service elevator reservation
• Parking: if visitor spots need to be arranged, flag it when you book so we plan around it
• Noise and access hours: some buildings restrict service hours, and we can work within those windows

Just include your building name or address in the notes. If we have been there before, we already know the drill.

A standard clean maintains what is already in decent shape. A deep clean adds $99 and goes after the stuff that builds up over weeks or months, which happens faster in Vancouver because of the moisture.

• Standard: your regular surfaces, floors, bathrooms, kitchen - the weekly or bi-weekly essentials
• Deep clean adds: inside the range hood, behind appliances, grout scrubbing, ceiling fan blades, light fixture covers, window sills with condensation buildup
• Move-in/move-out: adds $159 on top and includes inside every cabinet, closet, and appliance

For first-time bookings, we usually suggest starting with a deep clean. Vancouver humidity means bathroom grout and window tracks collect buildup faster than most people expect, especially in older Kitsilano and Fairview walk-ups.

Yes. Move-out cleaning is one of our busiest services in Vancouver, especially around the July 1st and September turnover periods when half the city seems to be moving at once.

• Cost: +$159 added to your base price (covers everything in a deep clean plus all cabinet, closet, and appliance interiors)
• Typical 1-bed move-out in the West End or Mount Pleasant: around $347 + tax all-in
• Why it matters: Vancouver landlords are strict about deposit returns, and a professional move-out clean is usually the difference between getting your damage deposit back or not

Book at least a week ahead during peak moving season. UBC-area rentals in Point Grey and the student housing around Wesbrook Village get especially tight in August and September.

Yes. Every person on our Vancouver team is fully insured, bonded, and background-checked. We do not send anyone to a home until that is all cleared.

• Liability insurance: covers accidental damage during any cleaning visit
• Background checks: mandatory for every team member before their first booking
• Living Wage employer: Hellamaid pays above the Metro Vancouver living wage, which means less turnover and more experienced cleaners showing up at your door

This matters in a city where you are handing someone a fob to a $900K condo. We hear that concern a lot from clients in Coal Harbour and Shaughnessy especially, and it is the reason we do not cut corners on vetting.

Yes. Hourly cleaning in Vancouver runs $59 per hour per cleaner, with a 3-hour minimum. You tell the cleaner where to focus their time, and they work through your priorities.

• Rate: $59/hr per cleaner + GST/PST
• Minimum: 3 hours
• Team size: 1 to 4 cleaners
• Example: 1 cleaner x 3 hours = $177 + tax ($198.24 all-in)

Hourly is popular with Vancouver homeowners after renovations or for focused kitchen and bathroom scrub-downs. It also works well if you have a laneway house that needs attention on top of the main home and you want to control exactly where the time goes.

Book online. It takes about 60 seconds. Pick your service, enter your home details, pick a date. You see the price before you commit to anything.

• Free 24-hour cancellation: cancel or reschedule with no charge up to 24 hours before your appointment
• No phone calls needed: everything is handled through the online booking system
• Same-day changes: if something comes up, log in and adjust your booking details anytime

The cancellation policy matters here because Vancouver schedules are unpredictable. Between SkyTrain delays, bridge traffic on the Lions Gate or Ironworkers Memorial, and the general chaos of trying to park downtown, plans shift. We get that, which is why the 24-hour window exists.
