TL;DR: Posting a cleaning job in Toronto is quick when your listing is clear about the home, the schedule, and the rate. This guide shows how to write a post that gets fast replies and how to hire someone you can trust, free on both sides.
Toronto homeowners and short-let hosts book cleaning all year, and good cleaners get snapped up fast. The difference between a post that fills in an hour and one that sits quiet is usually detail. Here is how to get it right.
Know the going rate before you post
Setting a fair budget up front saves time and attracts better cleaners. In 2026 the Toronto market sits in a clear range.
Key facts
- Professional cleaning companies in Toronto charge about 35 to 70 Canadian dollars per hour per cleaner, averaging near 50 dollars.
- Independent cleaners often charge less, roughly 15 to 30 Canadian dollars per hour.
- A standard flat-rate house clean usually runs 150 to 300 Canadian dollars depending on home size.
- Deep cleans typically cost 200 to 500 Canadian dollars, and move-out cleans 250 to 600 Canadian dollars.
- Recurring bookings usually cost less per visit than a one-off clean, so mention if you want a regular slot.
How to write a cleaning job post that gets replies
Cleaners scan a lot of listings. A clear, specific post stands out and gets answered first.
- State the home size. Number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and roughly the square footage if you know it.
- Name the area. Your neighbourhood or nearest intersection helps local cleaners judge travel. Downtown, North York, Scarborough, and Etobicoke all feel different to plan for.
- Set the schedule. One-off, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, and the days or times that work for you.
- List the tasks. General clean, kitchen and bathrooms, floors, and any extras like inside the oven, interior windows, or laundry.
- Give a budget range. A number anchored to the rates above gets serious replies and filters out mismatches.
- Mention access and pets. How the cleaner gets in, and whether there are pets, so there are no surprises.
Steps to post and hire
- Write down the details above in plain language.
- Post the job on CQD New Gen. It is free to post, with no commission taken.
- Review the cleaners who respond, check their profiles and reviews, and ask any follow-up questions.
- Agree the scope and price in writing before the first visit.
