What cleaning services can you book in New Westminster?
New Westminster households can book five core services, and most reputable companies (MaidEX included) offer all of them:
- Recurring / standard clean — weekly, bi-weekly or monthly upkeep of kitchens, bathrooms, floors and living areas. The best value per visit.
- Deep clean — a top-to-bottom reset (baseboards, buildup, inside appliances on request). Good for a first visit or a few times a year.
- Move-out / move-in clean — the detailed clean landlords and buyers expect when a home changes hands.
- Airbnb / short-term rental turnover — fast, checklist-driven resets between guests.
- Office & strata cleaning — recurring commercial cleaning for New Westminster's offices, business parks and stratas.

How much do cleaning services cost in New Westminster?
Short answer: there is no single price — cost depends on your home's size, its condition, and how often you book (recurring plans cost less per visit than one-time cleans). What you can control is transparency: choose a service that shows you a flat-rate price upfront instead of a vague hourly range.
| Factor | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Home size | Biggest driver — more space, more time |
| Condition | A deep/first clean costs more than upkeep |
| Frequency | Weekly/bi-weekly is cheaper per visit than one-time |
| Add-ons | Inside oven, fridge and cabinets are paid extras on Standard and Deep cleans and are included on Move-In/Out. Interior window cleaning (reachable glass, sills and vacuumed tracks) is a paid add-on on every clean — Standard, Deep and Move-In/Out. Exterior window cleaning is not offered. |
| Service type | Move-out and deep cleans are priced above standard |
A concrete New Westminster example. At MaidEX's flat rates, a one-time standard clean starts at $122.00 for a studio, $178.00 for a 1-bedroom and $197.00 for a 2-bedroom (regular rate, before 5% GST, with one bathroom). Deep and move-out cleans are priced higher, and extra bathrooms, square footage or add-ons scale the price. New customers save on their first clean, and recurring visits cost less per clean — you always see the exact total before you book. See your New Westminster price →
One BC-specific point that saves you money: cleaning is PST-exempt in British Columbia, so you should only ever be charged 5% GST — never 12% (why cleaning is PST-exempt in BC). If a New Westminster quote adds PST to a residential clean, ask why.

Why do so many New Westminster households hire cleaners?
The honest answer is time. Between work, family and the commute, keeping a home properly clean is one more demanding job on the list. For a busy or dual-income household, buying that time back is often the single best-value service they pay for.
New Westminster's size makes this especially true. The city is home to 78,916 people across 36,095 households as of the 2021 Census, up 11.2% since 2016 (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census — New Westminster) — a large base of busy, dual-income and family households, from the heritage homes of Queen's Park to the high-rise condos along the Quay and Sapperton, who would rather buy their weekends back than spend them scrubbing.
How do you choose a cleaning service in New Westminster?
Rule of thumb: pick the service that is insured, transparent about price, and stands behind its work in writing. Run any New Westminster company through this checklist:
- Fully insured — protects you if something breaks or someone is hurt in your home.
- Background-checked cleaners — ask directly; reputable companies vet their teams.
- Upfront flat-rate pricing — you see the price before you commit, not after.
- A real satisfaction guarantee — if something's missed, they re-clean it.
- Eco-friendly option — useful for homes with kids, pets or allergies.
- Genuine reviews — recent, specific Google reviews from real local customers.
New Westminster is well served — national franchises operate here alongside local independents. The differentiator worth looking for in 2026 is how easily you can get a real price and book: many still require a phone call and a wait; a few let you see a flat price and book online in about a minute.
