Vancouver's housing market is roughly split between condos/apartments and detached or townhouse properties — and cleaning them requires meaningfully different approaches. Here's a practical comparison of what changes when you go from cleaning a condo to cleaning a house in Vancouver.
Scope Differences
Apartment / Condo
- Single floor (unless penthouse)
- Compact kitchen — often galley style with less counter space
- 1–2 bathrooms, usually smaller
- Hard floors throughout (common in Vancouver condos)
- Building access logistics (fob, buzzer, elevator)
House
- Multiple floors — stairs need vacuuming on every visit
- Larger kitchen with more cabinet and counter space
- Multiple bathrooms (often 2–3 in Vancouver houses)
- Mudroom, entryway, and sometimes garage
- Mix of carpet and hard flooring — multiple floor types need different tools
Cost Differences
| Property Type | Standard Clean | Deep Clean | Move-Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bachelor / Studio | from $99 | from $169 | from $219 |
| 1 Bed / 1 Bath condo | from $119 | from $199 | from $249 |
| 2 Bed / 2 Bath condo | from $169 | from $259 | from $329 |
| 3 Bed / 2 Bath house | from $229 | from $349 | from $429 |
| 4 Bed / 3 Bath house | from $299 | from $449 | from $549 |
Frequency Recommendations
For Vancouver apartments (1–2 people, no pets): bi-weekly is usually sufficient.
For houses (family with kids or pets): weekly or bi-weekly depending on household activity level.
For investors or short-term rental units: after every checkout, regardless of size.
