What house cleaning costs in Vancouver in 2026
Vancouver sits at the higher end of Canadian pricing because demand is strong and operating costs are steep. Most local pricing guides put standard cleaning at roughly 40 to 60 CAD per hour, with some independent cleaners a little lower and insured companies a little higher. Per visit, a standard clean for an average two or three bedroom home usually falls between 150 and 250 CAD, according to Vancouver rate guides from CleanPilot and Yara Cleaning.
The single biggest driver is home size. The average Metro Vancouver home is around 1,450 square feet and needs roughly 2.5 to 3.5 hours for a standard clean, which is how you get to that 150 to 210 CAD range for a regular visit. Larger homes, extra bathrooms, and pets all push the time, and the price, up.
Standard clean versus deep clean
A standard clean keeps an already tidy home fresh: surfaces, floors, kitchen, and bathrooms. A deep clean tackles build up, inside appliances, baseboards, and detailed scrubbing, so it takes longer and sometimes needs two cleaners.
Expect a deep clean to cost about 1.5 to 2 times a standard clean for the same home. Hourly, most well rated Vancouver companies charge around 60 to 75 CAD for intensive deep cleaning, and many list a deep clean starting price near 199 CAD, per Maidless and national figures from HomeStars. Move in and move out cleans are usually priced like deep cleans.
What lowers the price
- Book recurring. Weekly, biweekly, or monthly plans reduce the hourly rate by roughly 10 to 20 percent. Weekly saves the most.
- Declutter first. You pay for time, so a tidy home before the cleaner arrives means fewer billable hours.
- Be specific. A clear scope avoids paying deep clean rates for a standard job, or vice versa.
- Hire direct. Booking an independent cleaner rather than going through an agency often means a lower rate for you and better pay for them.
What cleaners actually earn in Vancouver
If you are looking for cleaning work rather than hiring, the numbers matter too. Reported pay for house cleaners in Vancouver in 2026 ranges from about 22 to 30 CAD per hour depending on experience and employer, according to wage data from Indeed and PayScale.
The gap between what a client pays and what a cleaner takes home is often an agency cut. That is exactly the gap CQD New Gen removes. Cleaners set their own rate and keep 100 percent of it, with no commission taken on the work.
