The average cost for a house cleaning in the Canada is $160, but the typical range is between $115- $227. Of course, the amount varies depending on your location and size of your home. Other factors that play into the overall cost of hiring a cleaning service are whether you hire a company or an individual and the quality of the service they provide.

When you’re shopping for a cleaning service, keep in mind that there is a wide range of costs and quality. High-end housecleaning can be as pricey as $340 per visit, while you can get a low-end clean for as little as $60.

Professional cleaning agencies typically charge more per hour than individual housekeepers. A maid service’s hourly rate is $25-$45 on average while individuals can charge anywhere from $9-$25 an hour depending on the location.

The average biweekly cleaning cost for a two bedroom,  900 square-foot apartment ranges from $60 to $120. A 1,300 square-foot home would run your anywhere from $80 to $150 every two weeks. As the house size grows, the cost goes up: a 2,200 square-foot home will typically cost anywhere from $100 to $180 twice a month.

These costs cover the basic services, so you should keep in mind that most cleaners and agencies will charge additional fees to do move-out cleans and cleaning windows, refrigerators, and ovens. These are add-on costs that you should ask about if they apply to your situation.

So where do you start? First things first, decide if you want to hire an individual or a larger company.
