House cleaning prices in Vancouver confuse a lot of people. One company quotes 120 dollars, another wants 280, and a third only gives you an hourly rate with no clear total. This guide lays out what a house cleaner actually costs in Metro Vancouver in 2026, in plain Canadian dollars, so you know what is fair before you book or quote.
TL;DR
Most house cleaners in Vancouver charge about 40 to 55 CAD per hour per cleaner in 2026, and a standard clean of a two to three bedroom home usually lands between 140 and 320 CAD per visit. Independent cleaners sit at the lower end, insured companies with crews at the higher end.
Key facts
- Hourly rates in Vancouver typically run 35 to 65 CAD per cleaner, with insured company staff around 40 to 60 CAD and informal or independent cleaners nearer 25 to 35 CAD.
- A standard recurring clean of an average two to three bedroom home costs roughly 140 to 320 CAD per visit.
- Across Canada, solo cleaners charge 28 to 55 CAD per hour, and Vancouver and Victoria sit at the top of the national range at 40 to 55 CAD.
- Deep cleans and move out cleans cost more, commonly 250 to 550 CAD and 300 to 700 CAD, because they take far longer than a regular upkeep clean.
- Recurring weekly or biweekly service is usually priced 15 to 25 percent below one off rates, since the cleaner keeps a predictable route.
What drives a Vancouver cleaning quote
Three things move the number more than anything else.
Home size comes first. Bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage are the biggest factors. A studio costs far less than a five bedroom house, and a 2 bedroom condo generally runs less than a house with the same bedroom count because the building handles hallways and lobbies.
The type of clean is next. A regular upkeep clean costs less than a full deep clean or a detailed move in or move out reset. A home that has not been professionally cleaned in a year is a deep clean, not a standard one, so expect 50 to 100 percent more for that first visit.
Extras are the last piece. Inside the oven or fridge, interior windows, laundry and baseboards are usually add ons. Always ask what is included in the base price before you compare two quotes, because a 150 dollar clean that leaves out the oven can cost more than a 190 dollar clean that already includes it.
Hourly or flat rate
New cleaners often start hourly because it feels safe. Experienced cleaners almost all move to flat rate pricing per home, because as you get faster hourly billing punishes you for being good. A clean you once did in four hours now takes three, and flat rate keeps that difference in your pocket. A workable flat rate ladder for a standard recurring clean starts around 110 to 180 CAD for a one or two bedroom condo and climbs with size.
