Standard House Cleaning for Toronto & GTA Homes

A standard house cleaning from Houmse covers kitchens (counters, stovetop exterior, appliance exteriors, sink), bathrooms (toilet, tub/shower, vanity, floors), all bedrooms (dusting surfaces, vacuuming, making beds), and living areas (dusting, vacuuming, mopping hard floors). Deep interior oven, fridge, and window cleaning are available as add-ons or as part of a deep clean.

Houmse is a managed cleaning service, not a staffing platform. You book online in 60 seconds, get a fixed price upfront, and we handle all scheduling, quality assurance, and our 24-hour re-clean guarantee.

Standard house cleaning starts at $149 for a studio or 1-bedroom home. A 2-bedroom home runs $199, a 3-bedroom home $249, and a 4-bedroom home starts at $289. Pricing is flat-rate — you see the exact price before booking, with no hourly surprises.

Yes. For recurring bookings, Houmse assigns a dedicated cleaner to your home. Your cleaner learns your preferences over time, and you can communicate directly through the platform. If your regular cleaner is unavailable, we will let you know and arrange an equally matched substitute.

Yes. Houmse offers weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly recurring cleaning plans. Recurring clients receive the same cleaner on every visit, and recurring bookings come with a lower rate compared to one-time cleans: 20% off for weekly, 15% off for bi-weekly, and 10% off for monthly bookings.

Apartment & Condo Cleaning — Studio and one-bedroom condos across the GTA make up a large share of Houmse bookings. Compact layouts clean efficiently — the same detailed room-by-room checklist applies regardless of square footage. For high-rise buildings with concierge or FOB access, add your building's access instructions at checkout and your cleaner will handle the logistics. Semi-Detached & Townhouse Cleaning — Semi-detached homes and townhouses typically run two to three storeys, with kitchens, living areas, and bathrooms distributed across floors. Houmse cleaners work room-by-room through a consistent checklist — from main-floor kitchens to upper-level bathrooms and bedrooms. Recurring bi-weekly bookings are popular with families in this home type. Detached House Cleaning — Larger 3- and 4-bedroom detached homes across the GTA involve more surface area, more rooms, and more frequent buildup — which is why recurring cleaning makes particular economic sense here. Houmse flat-rate pricing reflects home size, so a 4-bedroom detached has a confirmed price at checkout. No hourly estimate that expands after the cleaner arrives. Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Cleaning — Houmse handles turnovers for Airbnb, VRBO, and other short-term rental properties across the GTA. Turnover cleans follow the standard room-by-room checklist and can include fresh linen placement, restocking amenities, and ensuring the space is guest-ready. Recurring turnover bookings can be scheduled around your Airbnb calendar to minimise gap time between guests.

One-time house cleaning works for specific occasions — pre-listing preparation, hosting preparation, seasonal resets, or a first clean before starting a recurring schedule. Houmse offers same-week availability across the GTA. Same-day and next-day bookings are often available depending on your area and preferred time. Book online in 60 seconds and we will confirm your slot — no card required at booking. One-time bookings are priced at the same flat rates as recurring; the recurring discount applies when you set up an ongoing schedule.

Yes. Houmse cleans Airbnb, VRBO, and other short-term rental properties across the GTA. We handle guest turnovers including fresh linen placement, restocking amenities, and ensuring the space is guest-ready. Recurring turnovers can be scheduled around your booking calendar.

Post-renovation and post-construction cleaning involves heavy dust, debris, and residue that goes beyond the scope of a standard house clean. We recommend booking a deep clean for post-renovation situations. For details, see our deep cleaning service.

Yes — two layers of coverage. Every cleaner is required to carry their own commercial general liability insurance with minimum $2 million coverage; Houmse collects each certificate before activation, verifies it's active, and tracks the expiry date. Houmse Inc. also carries its own $2 million commercial general liability policy (Northbridge Insurance) plus crime coverage that applies to every booking made through the platform.
