House Cleaning Rates Toronto 2026 | From $160
By Mah Sadegh · Published May 2026 · Fact-checked October 2026 · 8 min read · Editorial standards
House cleaning in Toronto starts at $160 for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, or $136 a visit if you book every two weeks. A 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is $260. Prices are flat-rate and shown before HST. Every cleaner completes an Enhanced Canadian Criminal Record Check and identity verification through OneID before their first booking, and carries their own $2M commercial general liability policy. Houmse Inc. carries a separate $2M occurrence-form policy with Northbridge Insurance. Learn how we approve cleaners.
Two things set your price: how many bedrooms and bathrooms your home has, and the type of clean. Square footage doesn't change it. Homes over 4,000 sq ft, or with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, get a custom quote.
Toronto House Cleaning Prices by Home Size
| Home Size | Standard | Deep Clean | Move-In/Out | Standard cleaning time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom / 1-Bath | $160 | $220 | $280 | About 3.5 hrs |
| 2-Bedroom / 2-Bath | $195 | $320 | $390 | About 4.25 hrs |
| 3-Bedroom / 2-Bath | $195 | $345 | $415 | About 4.25 hrs |
| 4-Bedroom / 3-Bath | $260 | $555 | $640 | About 5.75 hrs |
Cleaning time is total labour from Houmse's own job data. Deep and move-out cleans take longer, and jobs over 8 hours get a second cleaner. Popular add-ons: Inside Fridge (+$45), Inside Oven (+$45), Interior Windows (+$59), Laundry & Folding (+$29). These match checkout — same prices in the booking form.
How Bathrooms Change the Price
Bathrooms take the most time in any clean, so they move the price more than an extra bedroom does. A 3-bedroom home with 1 bathroom costs less than a 2-bedroom home with 2.
| Home | Standard | Deep Clean |
|---|---|---|
| 2-Bedroom / 1-Bath | $170 | $265 |
| 2-Bedroom / 2-Bath | $195 | $320 |
| 3-Bedroom / 1-Bath | $180 | $305 |
| 3-Bedroom / 2-Bath | $195 | $345 |
| 3-Bedroom / 3-Bath | $215 | $430 |
A half bathroom counts as half. Your exact price for any mix of bedrooms and bathrooms shows in the booking form before you book.
Same Flat Rate Across the GTA
The same flat rate applies across the GTA — Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, and every city Houmse serves. Your home and the type of clean set the price; your postal code does not.
| City | 1-Bed / 1-Bath Standard | 2-Bed / 2-Bath Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Toronto | $160 | $195 |
| Mississauga | $160 | $195 |
| Vaughan | $160 | $195 |
| Markham | $160 | $195 |
| Oakville | $160 | $195 |
What's Included in Every Toronto House Cleaning
Every standard clean follows the same checklist. The tasks don't change; only the size and time do.
- Vacuum and mop all floors
- Clean kitchen surfaces and appliances (exterior)
- Clean and sanitize all bathrooms
- Dust furniture, shelves, and fixtures
- Sanitize high-touch surfaces (knobs, handles, switches)
- Empty trash throughout
Extras such as oven interior, fridge interior, and window interiors can be added at checkout. A deep clean or move-in/move-out clean covers more, including inside cabinets, baseboards and appliance interiors.
Recurring Cleaning Discounts in Toronto
Recurring bookings get an automatic discount from your first visit — no code, no phone call. The price shown at checkout is the price charged. There's no fixed-term contract: you can change your frequency or stop future visits. A visit already booked follows the cancellation policy.
| Frequency | Discount | 1-Bed / 1-Bath | 2-Bed / 2-Bath |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | 10% off | $144 | $175 |
| Biweekly | 15% off | $136 | $166 |
| Weekly | 20% off | $128 | $156 |
Recurring discounts apply to standard cleaning. Deep and move-out cleans are booked one at a time.
Flat Rate vs. Hourly: How Toronto Cleaning Is Priced
Toronto cleaning services price either by the home or by the hour. Statistics Canada wage data via Job Bank (Labour Force Survey, 2023–2024, Toronto region) reports a median wage of $19.23/hour for light-duty cleaners in the Toronto region (range $17.60–$25.90). That is what an employed cleaner earns — not what a service charges a customer. Agency and marketplace rates include insurance, screening, equipment, scheduling and margin on top. Houmse prices flat-rate by bedrooms and bathrooms — $160 for a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, $260 for a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home — whether the clean runs short or long. You see the exact price before booking. For a full breakdown, see the Toronto house cleaning cost guide.
