A standard one-time clean for a Vancouver condo starts around $186.90 — GST included, no PST — and rises with the size of your home and the type of clean. The honest answer is that house cleaning cost is driven mostly by your home's size, the clean you need, and any extras — which is exactly why MaidEX shows you an exact price online before you book, in about 60 seconds, instead of making you wait for a quote.
This guide explains what drives the price. If you want the quick view by home size, see affordable house cleaning prices by bedroom count, estimate your exact price with the calculator, or browse the Metro Vancouver price index.

What affects house cleaning cost in Vancouver
- The size of your home — bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage are the biggest factors. A studio costs far less than a five-bedroom house.
- The type of clean — a regular standard clean costs less than a full deep clean or a detailed move-in / move-out reset.
- Any extras — on a standard or deep clean, add-ons like inside the fridge or oven, interior windows, or changing bed sheets are priced individually (on a move-out clean, inside the oven, fridge and cabinets are already included at no extra charge). You add only what you need.
- How often we come — recurring plans cost less per clean than a one-time visit.
Flat-rate packages vs hourly
MaidEX gives you two easy ways to book. Flat-rate packages mean you see the whole price up front and pay exactly that — ideal when you know what you want done. Prefer to set the priorities yourself? Book by the hour (regular $50/hour · 3-hour minimum · you set the priorities), and the team works through your list.
What about offices and businesses?
Commercial spaces are priced per square foot, with volume rates that drop as your space grows — so a larger office pays a lower rate per square foot. See real per-visit numbers in our office cleaning cost guide.
The tax: only 5% GST
Good news for BC: general house cleaning is PST-exempt, so you only pay the 5% federal GST — there's no 7% PST added on top. It's a small thing that keeps your final bill honest. More on the rule: is house cleaning taxed in BC?
What about a move-out clean?
Moving? A move-out clean is more detailed than a standard clean, so it costs more — see real flat-rate numbers in our move-out cleaning cost guide.
