House cleaning cost in Toronto (2026)
Updated
A standard clean in Toronto usually lands between $100 for a small condo and $800 for a large house or deep clean — most bookings fall well inside that band. On Taskly you compare fixed-price offers from local cleaners, so the price you accept is the price you pay.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Small condo / 1-bedroom standard clean | $100–$160 |
| Typical 2–3 bedroom home, standard clean | $140–$240 |
| Deep clean (add ~50%) | $180–$380 |
| Move-in / move-out clean (add ~80%) | $220–$800 |
Prices come from Taskly’s GTA rate table — the same engine that suggests budgets on the platform (market-checked, version 8). On Taskly the price you accept is a fixed offer, not a meter.
What moves the price
Five things decide what a task costs. Each one below is a band, not a fixed number — you see the actual figure as a fixed-price offer before you accept.
Home size
| Home size | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom condo | $100–$160 | One bathroom, open plan — the fastest clean there is. |
| 2-bedroom condo or small house | $120–$208 | A second bathroom is usually what moves this, not the extra bedroom. |
| 3-bedroom house | $140–$240 | Stairs and a second floor add time a condo does not have. |
| 4+ bedrooms | $200–$360 | Priced on rooms and bathrooms rather than square footage. |
Size sets the floor: a one-bedroom condo starts around $100 and a four-bedroom house rarely comes in under $200. What actually drives it is bathrooms and floors, not area — two homes of the same size price differently if one has three bathrooms and the other has one. Describe rooms and bathrooms when you post and the offers come back tighter.
Type of clean
| Type of clean | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / maintenance clean | $140–$240 | Surfaces, floors, kitchen and bathrooms. |
| Deep clean | $180–$380 | Roughly 1.5× a standard clean. |
| Move-in / move-out | $220–$800 | Roughly 1.8× — empty homes expose everything. |
| Post-renovation | $280–$800 | Dust reaches surfaces a normal clean never touches. |
Clean type moves the number more than size does. A deep clean runs about 1.5× the standard price for the same home and a move-out about 1.8×, because both cover what a maintenance clean deliberately skips — inside appliances, baseboards, inside cupboards, built-up soap and grease. If you are cleaning to get a deposit back, book the move-out tier rather than a standard clean and a list of extras.
Bathrooms and kitchen
| Bathrooms and kitchen | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One bathroom | Included in the band | Assumed in every price above. |
| Each additional bathroom | +$30–$50 | The slowest room per square foot, by a wide margin. |
| Inside the oven | +$40–$70 | Usually a deep-clean item, not a standard one. |
| Inside the fridge | +$25–$50 | Faster empty than full. |
Bathrooms are the reason two same-sized homes quote differently. Each one beyond the first typically adds $30–$50, because bathrooms are the slowest room per square foot in any home. Oven and fridge interiors are the two extras most often assumed and most often not included — name them in the task if you want them.
How often
| How often | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One-off / first clean | Full price | A first visit is usually closer to a deep clean. |
| Weekly | Around 20% less | Least accumulates between visits. |
| Bi-weekly | Around 15% less | The most common arrangement in the GTA. |
| Monthly | Around 10% less | More build-up each visit, so less of a discount. |
Recurring cleans cost less per visit because less accumulates between them. Bi-weekly is the most common arrangement and lands about 15% under a one-off. Expect the first visit in any schedule to price closer to a deep clean whatever cadence you pick — the discount applies from the second visit, once the home is at a known baseline.
Timing and supplies
| Timing and supplies | Effect on price | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Standard notice (2+ days) | Band price | The prices quoted above. |
| Same-day | Around 25% more | Someone is rearranging their day. |
| Tasker brings supplies | +$25 | Skip it if you already have what you need. |
| Weekend or evening | Usually band price | Common enough in the GTA not to carry a premium. |
Timing is the cheapest factor to control. Same-day work adds roughly 25%, and posting two or three days ahead avoids it entirely. Supplies add about $25 if you want them brought — worth it for a first or move-out clean, easy to skip when your own cupboard is stocked. Weekends do not usually carry a premium here.
What people forget to budget for
None of these are hidden by anyone. They are just the things that do not occur to you until the day.
| Cleaning supplies | About $25 if the Tasker brings their own. Most people assume it is included; it usually is not, and it is genuinely optional if your cupboard is stocked. |
| Parking downtown | Not in the offer unless you mention it. A visitor spot or a permit costs nothing to arrange and avoids a conversation on the doorstep about a parking app. |
| The first clean | Prices closer to a deep clean whatever schedule you sign up for, because it is the visit that brings the home to a baseline. The discount starts from the second one. |
| Oven and fridge interiors | Roughly $40–$70 on top. The two extras most often assumed and most often not included in a standard clean. |
When it is not worth paying someone
A clean is one of the few tasks where paying is about time rather than skill — you can do it, it just takes your Saturday. The line worth drawing is between upkeep and reset: upkeep is quick and yours, a reset takes four hours and specific products, and at $140–$240 for a standard clean that is where the money is well spent.
Do it yourself
- Weekly upkeep — surfaces, floors, a bathroom. Forty minutes if you keep on top of it.
- Laundry and dishes. Nobody should be paying a call-out fee for these.
- A single room before guests. Not worth a visit floor on its own.
Worth paying for
- Move-out cleans, where a deposit is on the line and the standard is somebody else’s.
- Post-renovation dust, which needs the right vacuum and several passes.
- Any first clean after a long gap — this is the one that actually takes four hours.
- Recurring upkeep when your time is worth more than the visit.
How to pay less for house cleaning
- 01Book bi-weekly rather than one-off. About 15% less per visit, and the home never needs a reset again.
- 02Skip the supplies add-on if you already own a vacuum and a mop — that is $25 back with no change to the clean.
- 03Post two or three days ahead. Same-day adds around 25% and is almost always avoidable.
- 04Bundle the oven and the fridge into a deep clean rather than adding them to a standard one — the Tasker is already there and already has the products out.

How we worked these numbers out
Every price on this page comes from Taskly’s published rate table, v8, last market-checked on . It is the same table that suggests budgets when someone posts a task, so these bands are what the platform itself works from rather than a figure written for this page.
Accepted offers behind these figures: —. We have not yet completed enough tasks in this category to publish a figure from real accepted offers, so this stays blank rather than being filled with an estimate. Bands here are the rate table, not observed transactions.
A band is not a quote. On Taskly you compare fixed-price offers and the price you accept is the price you pay.
House cleaning cost — FAQ
How much does a cleaner cost per hour in Toronto?
Most GTA cleans are not priced by the hour at all — a standard clean is a fixed $140–$240 for a typical home, which works out around $80 an hour for a three-hour visit. You compare fixed-price offers, so the number you accept does not move if it runs long.
How long does a standard clean take?
Two to four hours for a typical two or three bedroom home, and closer to five for a first clean or a deep clean. Bathrooms are the slowest rooms, so the count of those predicts the time better than the size of the place.
How much is a cleaner per visit in Toronto?
Most standard cleans land between $100 and $240 depending on home size; deep and move-out cleans run higher. On Taskly you see fixed-price offers up front.
Do I pay before or after the clean?
Your payment is held by Taskly when you accept an offer and released only when you confirm the clean is done.
Is a deep clean worth it?
About 1.5× a standard clean, so $180–$380 against $140–$240 — worth it for a first visit, after renovations, or around a move. It covers what a standard clean deliberately skips: inside appliances, baseboards and built-up grease.
