House cleaning in Greater Vancouver is more expensive than most newcomers expect — and prices vary wildly depending on who you call. A downtown condo tower cleaner will quote very differently from an independent team working out of a van. What you're really paying for is a mix of labour (often two people for two hours), supplies, insurance, and the overhead of scheduling and dispatch. Understanding those layers is the first step to knowing whether a $180 quote for your two-bedroom apartment is fair or inflated. The prices below are what we've seen across dozens of real quotes and community submissions in the last few months — not marketing copy, not scraped averages.

What affects the price
The single biggest factor is square footage and bedroom count, but it's not linear — a 1,200 sq ft two-bedroom with a pet, a dusty bookshelf collection, and hardwood floors can take longer than a sparse 1,600 sq ft three-bedroom. Frequency matters too: most cleaners offer 10–20% off if you commit to bi-weekly or monthly visits, because they can route you efficiently and keep the same crew. One-time cleans, especially move-outs, cost 40–60% more than a standard clean because they include inside-cabinets, appliances, and baseboards. Watch out for flat-rate quotes that don't define 'standard clean' — always ask whether it includes the fridge, the oven, inside windows, and the balcony. Eco-friendly or fragrance-free products typically add $10–25. Stairs add time. Pets add time. A last-minute booking for a weekend usually costs more than a weekday slot booked a week ahead.
