How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in Toronto & the GTA? (2026 Pricing Guide)

A straightforward breakdown of what you can expect to pay for house cleaning in Toronto and the GTA in 2026 — regular, deep, move-out, and post-construction.

If you're searching for a house cleaner in Toronto, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Whitby, or North York, the first question on your mind is probably: what's this going to cost me?

Most cleaning companies in the GTA dodge this question on their websites. We won't. Here's a straightforward breakdown of what you can expect to pay for residential cleaning services across the Greater Toronto Area in 2026 — and what affects the final price.

Regular Cleaning Prices in the GTA

Regular cleaning (also called standard or maintenance cleaning) is a recurring service designed to keep an already-clean home in good shape. Most homeowners book it weekly, biweekly, or monthly. It covers vacuuming, mopping, kitchen surfaces, bathroom sanitizing, dusting, and general tidying.

Not sure if a regular clean is enough or if you need a deep clean? Our comparison guide breaks down exactly what's included in each.

Home Size	Sq Ft	Est. Time	Price (incl. HST)
Standard House	Up to 1,600 sq ft	4 hrs	$160
Intermediate House	1,600–2,000 sq ft	5 hrs	$200
Large House	2,000–2,500 sq ft	6 hrs	$240
Larger House	2,500–3,000 sq ft	7 hrs	$280
Very Large House	3,000+ sq ft	8 hrs	$320

Rates are per visit for regular recurring service. First-time or one-time cleans may be adjusted based on home condition — call to confirm.

Deep / Spring Cleaning Prices

A deep clean goes beyond surface-level maintenance. It includes everything in a regular clean plus inside oven, fridge, cabinets, baseboards, grout scrubbing, and light fixtures. Most homeowners book a deep clean once or twice a year, or as a seasonal reset. If you're planning a spring deep clean, our Spring Cleaning Guide for Toronto Homeowners covers how to get the most out of it.

Home Size	Sq Ft	Price (incl. HST)	What's Covered
Standard House	Up to 1,600 sq ft	$240	Inside oven, fridge, cabinets, baseboards
Intermediate House	1,600–2,000 sq ft	$300	Full top-to-bottom deep clean
Large House	2,000–2,500 sq ft	$360	Detailed grout, light fixtures, all appliances
Larger House	2,500–3,000 sq ft	$420	Comprehensive deep clean
Very Large House	3,000+ sq ft	$480	Custom scope confirmed by phone

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning Prices

Move-in and move-out cleans cover the full property — all cabinets, appliances inside and out, windows, baseboards, and all floors. They're designed to meet landlord inspection and tenant turnover standards. For a full room-by-room breakdown of what's involved, see our Move-Out Cleaning Checklist for Toronto Renters.

Home Size	Sq Ft	Price (incl. HST)	Ideal For
Standard House	Up to 1,600 sq ft	$260	Spotless for landlord inspection
Intermediate House	1,600–2,000 sq ft	$325	Inside cabinets, appliances, windows
Large House	2,000–2,500 sq ft	$390	Full property, move-in ready
Larger House	2,500–3,000 sq ft	$455	Meets all tenant/landlord requirements
Very Large House	3,000+ sq ft	$520	Custom scope confirmed by phone

Post-Construction Cleaning

Renovations leave behind dust, debris, and residue that regular cleaning can't handle. Post-construction cleans include construction dust removal from all surfaces (walls, ceilings, fixtures), paint splatter and adhesive residue cleanup, thorough floor and grout scrubbing, and detailed window cleaning. This service is quoted case-by-case because scope varies significantly depending on the renovation. Call us for a custom estimate.

All prices are starting rates in Canadian dollars and include HST. Your final quote depends on your home's specific condition and location.

What Factors Affect the Price?

Beyond the type of clean and square footage, several other things influence your quote:

Condition of the home. A home that gets cleaned biweekly will cost less per visit than one that hasn't been cleaned in six months. More buildup means more labour hours.

Number of bathrooms. Bathrooms are the most time-intensive rooms. A 3-bed/1-bath home will cost less than a 3-bed/3-bath.

Frequency. Recurring cleanings (weekly or biweekly) come with a lower per-visit rate than one-time bookings. This is the most effective way to keep costs down long-term.

Pets. Pet hair and dander add time to every room. If you have multiple pets, mention it when you call so we can quote accurately.

Special requests. Interior fridge cleaning, oven scrubbing, interior windows, or organizing are extras that may adjust the price.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a basic house cleaning cost in Toronto? A standard recurring clean for a home up to 1,600 sq ft starts at $160 per visit (including HST) at Lumen Services. Larger homes range from $200 to $320 depending on square footage. These rates apply to recurring bookings — one-time cleans may be slightly higher depending on the home's current condition.

Is a deep clean worth the extra cost? If your home hasn't been professionally cleaned in more than three months, a deep clean is usually the right starting point. It addresses buildup that a regular clean skips — inside appliances, grout, baseboards, and behind furniture. Most clients book one deep clean, then switch to regular maintenance at a lower per-visit cost.

Do your prices include HST? Yes. Every price listed on our site and in our quotes includes HST. The number we quote is the number you pay.

What's the cheapest way to keep my home professionally cleaned? Book a recurring biweekly or monthly schedule. Per-visit rates are lower for recurring clients, and maintaining a clean home consistently is cheaper than booking sporadic deep cleans whenever things get out of hand.
