House Cleaning Prices in Toronto (2026 Guide)
Hourly and flat rates by home size, standard vs deep cleaning costs, money-saving tips and how to hire.
In short
In 2026, a standard house cleaning in Toronto costs about $120–$350 per visit, or roughly $35–$70 per hour per cleaner with a professional company (independent cleaners run $25–$45/hr).
A deep clean is about $200–$500, and a move-in/move-out clean $250–$600.
Booking recurring service is the easiest way to lower the price per visit.
How much does house cleaning cost in Toronto?
Toronto cleaners price two ways — by the hour or a flat rate per visit. Here’s what each typically costs in 2026.
| Pricing model | Typical rate (2026) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly – independent cleaner | $25 – $45 / hr | Small or specific jobs on a budget |
| Hourly – cleaning company | $35 – $70 / hr per cleaner (~$50 avg) | Insured, vetted teams and flexible needs |
| Flat rate per visit (standard) | $120 – $350 | Predictable, whole-home budgeting |
Hourly rates are charged per cleaner, so a two-person team finishes faster but bills two rates at once. Flat-rate pricing tells you the total before they arrive.
Cleaning cost by home size
Size is the biggest single factor. These are typical flat rates for a one-time standard clean.
| Home size | Approx. area | Standard clean (one-time) |
|---|---|---|
| Condo / 1-bedroom | ≤ 700 sq ft | $110 – $200 |
| 2-bedroom | 700 – 1,000 sq ft | $150 – $250 |
| 3-bedroom house | 1,000 – 2,000 sq ft | $200 – $350 |
| 4+ bedroom / large home | 2,000+ sq ft | $300 – $500+ (often custom quote) |
Recurring plans cost noticeably less per visit — a space cleaned every week or two builds up less dirt, so each session is faster.
Cost by type of cleaning
What you book matters as much as the size. Deeper and specialty cleans take more time and cost more.
| Service type | Typical cost (2026) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / regular | $120 – $350 | Dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathrooms and kitchen surfaces. |
| Deep cleaning | $200 – $500 | Standard plus baseboards, behind/inside appliances, buildup and detail. |
| Move-in / move-out | $250 – $600 | Empty-home deep clean including inside cabinets and appliances. |
| Post-renovation | ~$55/hr, quote-based | Dust and debris removal; price depends on condition. |
| Add-ons | $20 – $150 each | Inside fridge or oven, interior windows, laundry, carpet cleaning. |
