Standard vs Deep vs Move-Out: Which Do You Need?
Standard Clean
Maintenance cleaning — kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, vacuuming, mopping, dusting. Right for homes cleaned regularly (every 1–4 weeks). The most common booking across BC.
Deep Clean
Everything in Standard plus inside appliances (oven, fridge), cabinet interiors, baseboards, window tracks, and grout lines. Right for: first-time clients, homes not cleaned professionally in 6+ months, pre-sale prep, post-renovation, or seasonal resets.
Move-Out Clean
The most thorough service — built to BC Residential Tenancy Act standards and property manager inspection checklists. Every surface, appliance interior, closet, and corner. Right for: end of tenancy, deposit recovery, preparing a rental for the next tenant.
What Affects the Price
Home Size
The primary driver. Cleaners price by bedroom and bathroom count. A 1 bed / 1 bath condo takes 1.5–2 hours; a 4 bed / 3 bath detached home takes 5+ hours.
Frequency
Recurring clients (weekly or bi-weekly) save 15–20% per visit. The home is easier to maintain than to restore, so each clean takes less time.
Service Type
Move-out and deep cleans cost more than standard cleans because they take 1.5–2× longer and require more specialized products.
What's Included
Some BC services exclude oven interiors, fridge cleaning, and interior windows from base pricing. Always confirm what's included before comparing prices. A $110 clean without oven and fridge often costs more in total than a $155 all-inclusive clean.
Solo Cleaners vs Professional Services in BC
BC has no licensing requirement for residential cleaners. Solo operators charge $70–$100 for a 2-bedroom but typically have no liability insurance, no WorkSafeBC, and no background checks. Professional insured services charge more and provide documented protection for your home and legal protection if someone is injured during a clean.
