How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in Toronto?

Searching for house cleaning prices in Toronto usually lands you on a “request a quote” form or an hourly rate that tells you nothing about the final bill. So here’s the straight answer, with our own numbers and what they actually buy.

The Short Answer

House and apartment cleaning in Toronto generally runs $40 to $60 per hour per cleaner, or $120 to $250+ flat depending on the size of your home. Hourly pricing sounds cheaper until the clock runs long; flat rates put the risk on the cleaning company instead of on you.

At Soda Cleaning we only quote flat rates, published upfront: Studio $129 · 1 Bedroom $149 · 2 Bedroom $179 · 3+ Bedroom $219 for a standard home cleaning using your supplies. We’re gratuity-free — the only thing added is tax.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate: Why It Matters

With hourly billing, you don’t know the price until the job is over — and a “3-hour estimate” has a way of becoming four and a half. Flat-rate pricing flips that:

• You know the total before anyone shows up. No watching the clock, no surprise at the end.
• The incentive is right. An hourly cleaner is paid more for going slow; a flat-rate team is paid for finishing the checklist properly.
• Comparing quotes gets honest. $45/hour × “we’ll see” is not comparable to $179 flat. Flat rates are.

If a home needs significantly more than the flat rate covers — heavy buildup, a first-time deep clean after years of light cleaning — a good company flags it before starting, never after. That’s our policy, and it should be your test for anyone you hire.

What’s Included at That Price

A standard cleaning at the rates above covers kitchen (counters, sink, stovetop, outside of appliances), bathrooms top to bottom, dusting throughout, floors vacuumed and mopped, and garbage out. The full checklist is on our home cleaning page.

Things that cost extra almost everywhere, us included: inside the fridge or oven, interior windows, and post-renovation dust. Mention them in your quote request and they get priced upfront, not discovered on the invoice.

What Moves the Price Up or Down

• Size and layout. Bathrooms and kitchens take the time; a 2-bedroom with one bathroom cleans faster than the same size with three.
• Condition. A home cleaned monthly costs less to maintain than one getting its first professional clean in two years.
• Supplies. We use yours — it keeps the rate down and your surfaces get the products you chose. If you’d rather we bring everything including the vacuum, that’s our fully equipped service, from $249, built for move-outs and listings.
• Frequency. Recurring clients get priority scheduling and a consistent cleaner. If you’re weighing cadence, we wrote a guide on how often you should clean your apartment.

The Bottom Line

For a typical downtown Toronto condo, expect $149–$179 flat from a professional, insured service — and be suspicious of anything dramatically cheaper. Below that price, someone is either uninsured, rushing, or planning to renegotiate once they’re inside your home.
