Move-out cleaning in Metro Vancouver starts around $219.77 for a studio with the current 30% move-out discount — GST included, no PST — and rises with the size of the home. Because it's the most detailed clean there is, a move-out costs more than a standard clean. With MaidEX the price is flat-rate and shown online before you book, so there's no in-home estimate and no quote to wait for.

What drives the price of a move-out clean
- Size of the home — bedrooms and bathrooms are the biggest factors. An empty studio costs far less than a four-bedroom house.
- The move-out scope itself — every surface, inside cupboards and closets, baseboards, doors and frames, and detailed kitchen and bathrooms. That's more work than a standard clean, so it's priced higher.
- Everything included as standard — inside the oven, inside the fridge and inside cabinets are part of every move-out clean at no extra charge.
Why flat-rate matters for a move-out
Move-out day is stressful enough. A lot of cleaners quote "per hour" or send someone to estimate in person, so you don't know the real number until it's done. MaidEX prices a move-out by the size of your home — with the deep-reset detailing (inside the oven, fridge and cabinets) already included — and shows the exact total, GST included, before you enter any payment details. What you see is what you pay.
The tax: only 5% GST
Move-out cleaning is general residential cleaning, which is PST-exempt in BC — so you pay only the 5% federal GST, never the 7% PST on top. Every price above already includes it. More detail: is house cleaning taxed in BC?
Move-out cleaning cost — FAQ
How much does move-out cleaning cost in Vancouver?
Move-out cleaning in Metro Vancouver starts around $219.77 for a studio with the current 30% move-out discount (GST included, no PST) and rises with the size of the home. With MaidEX the price is flat-rate and shown online before you book — no in-home estimate and no quote to wait for.
Why does a move-out clean cost more than a regular clean?
A move-out clean is the most detailed clean there is: the home is empty, so every surface, inside cupboards and closets, baseboards, doors and frames, and detailed kitchen and bathrooms all get done — the spots landlords inspect for your damage deposit. That extra scope is why it's priced above a standard clean.
Is move-out cleaning taxed in BC?
You pay only the 5% federal GST. Move-out cleaning is general residential cleaning, which is PST-exempt in BC, so there's no 7% PST added on top. Every price MaidEX shows already includes the GST.
Does a move-out clean include inside the oven, fridge and cabinets?
Yes — included as standard, at no extra charge. Every MaidEX move-out clean covers inside the oven, inside the fridge and freezer, inside kitchen and bathroom cabinets, inside the dishwasher, the range hood and behind accessible appliances — all in the flat price. Interior window cleaning (reachable glass, sills and vacuumed tracks) is a paid add-on, and exterior window cleaning isn't offered; optional extras like blinds or sanitization can also be added when you book.
Will a move-out clean help me get my deposit back?
It gives you the best shot. A move-out clean targets exactly what BC landlords inspect at the end of a tenancy — detailed kitchen and bathrooms, floors, inside cupboards, baseboards and frames. If anything isn't right, MaidEX will re-clean it within 24 hours.
