How Much Does House Cleaning Cost?

House cleaning team in a modern home

The cost of house cleaning in Vancouver depends on more than just how big your home is. The first question we ask isn’t about square footage. It’s about your situation. Are you moving? Is this your first time hiring a professional cleaner? Have you had a clean in the last 30 days, or has it been a while? The answers shape both the service you actually need and what you’ll pay for it.

Here’s how pricing works at Yaletown Clean, and what to expect depending on where you’re starting from.

How Pricing Is Calculated

Our residential cleaning is priced based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage in your home. The fastest way to know your exact number is to book online — enter your home’s details and the total calculates automatically before you confirm anything. If you’d rather talk it through first, call us at 778-786-8500 and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Most Vancouver homes fall somewhere between $150 and $300 for a standard clean before add-ons. Larger homes or ones that need extra time will sit higher in that range.

Pricing is the same regardless of how often you book your first clean. After that, recurring clients receive a discount based on frequency: 20% off for weekly clients, 15% off for bi-weekly, and 10% off for monthly.

When a First-Time Clean Is Recommended

If your home hasn’t been professionally cleaned in the last 30 days, we’ll recommend adding our First-Time Clean to your booking. It’s a $99 add-on that gives our team the extra time needed for a more detailed first pass: things like baseboards, grout scrubbing, and areas that build up faster than most people realize.

More than half of clients underestimate how much dust and buildup collects in their home once they’ve been living in it for a while. That’s completely normal. When you’re in a space every day, you stop noticing certain things. It’s not something to stress about. It’s just something to account for when you book.

We recommend the First-Time Clean for two types of clients: people who are booking with us for the first time, and returning clients who haven’t booked in over 30 days. In the rare case that your home turns out to be in better shape than expected once our team arrives, we’re happy to remove the charge.

Add-Ons That Affect Your Total

Beyond the base service, there are optional extras you can add at checkout or request when you call. Common ones include:

  • Inside oven: $39
  • Inside fridge: $45
  • Interior Windows: $5 per pane
  • Pet hair fee: $25 flat per visit (for homes with pets)

These aren’t included in a standard clean. If you’re not sure what falls under the standard scope, anything listed under “Select Extras” during booking is outside the base service. Book online to see the full add-on list before you confirm.

Not sure what falls under a standard clean? Our post on what house cleaners actually clean gives a room-by-room breakdown of what is and isn’t included.

Event and party cleaning is priced differently from a standard flat-rate clean. If you need a post-party clean or pre-event service, read our breakdown of after-party cleaning costs in Vancouver to know what to expect before you book.

First-time clients often ask what they need to do before the team arrives. Our post on what to prepare before cleaners arrive walks through exactly what helps and what you can skip.

What Keeps Long-Term Costs Down

The clients who pay the least per visit over time are the ones who stay on a consistent schedule. Weekly and bi-weekly clients get meaningful discounts, and their homes stay in a state where the cleaner can work efficiently rather than spending extra time on buildup.

If you’re on the fence about frequency, it’s worth reading our post on how often to hire a cleaner: it walks through how to match your schedule to what your home actually needs.
