Keeping an apartment spotless is harder than it sounds. Between work, commutes, and everything else demanding your time, cleaning tends to slip. A professional cleaning service handles it reliably so you don’t have to.
This guide covers what a professional apartment clean includes, what you can expect to pay in Vancouver, and how to find a company worth trusting.
What Does a Professional Apartment Clean Include?
A standard clean covers the areas that collect the most grime: kitchen, bathrooms, floors, and living spaces.
Kitchen:
- Stovetop, burners, and drip pans wiped down
- Countertops and backsplash cleaned
- Exterior of oven, microwave, and refrigerator wiped
- Sink and faucet scrubbed
- Cabinet fronts and drawer handles cleaned
- Floor swept and mopped
Bathrooms:
- Toilet cleaned inside and out
- Shower and tub scrubbed
- Sink and countertop disinfected
- Mirror cleaned
- Floor swept and mopped
Living Areas and Bedrooms:
- Dusting of surfaces, shelves, and baseboards
- Vacuuming carpets and area rugs
- Sweeping and mopping hard floors
- Mirrors and glass surfaces cleaned
- Trash emptied
Add-ons like inside the oven, inside the fridge, interior windows, and laundry are available if you need a deeper clean.
How Much Does Apartment Cleaning Cost in Vancouver?
Pricing is based on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the square footage of your unit. Here are starting prices for a standard one-time clean (plus 5% tax):
- Studio: from $172
- 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom: from $180
- 2 bedrooms / 1 bathroom: from $212
- 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms: from $238
- 3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms: from $269
Prices vary by square footage. For an exact quote, use the instant quote tool at yaletownclean.com/book.
Move-in and move-out cleans run higher because they include interior appliances, inside cabinets, and more detailed work throughout.
Recurring clients pay less per visit. Bi-weekly service is 15% off, weekly is 20% off.
Recurring Plans vs. One-Time Cleans
One-time cleans work well for move-ins, move-outs, post-renovation resets, or when you just need a fresh start.
Recurring service makes more sense if you want your apartment to stay consistently clean without thinking about it. The bi-weekly plan is the most popular for working professionals in Vancouver. Over time, the cleaner gets to know your space and the clean becomes faster and more thorough.
What to Look for in a Vancouver Apartment Cleaning Company
A few things actually matter when comparing companies:
- Flat-rate pricing. Hourly billing leads to unpredictable invoices. Flat-rate means you know the cost before anyone shows up.
- A clear checklist. Good companies use a room-by-room checklist so nothing gets missed. Ask to see it before booking.
- A re-clean guarantee. If something was missed, they should come back to fix it within 24 hours at no charge.
- Insured and vetted staff. Your cleaner will be in your home. Liability insurance and background checks are non-negotiable.
- Straightforward booking. Online booking, clear confirmation, and no chasing anyone down.
