How Much Does House Cleaning Cost in Montreal? 2026 Guide

If you are researching house cleaning costs in Montreal for 2026, you are in the right place. Whether you are a busy professional in Griffintown, a family in NDG, or a student in a Plateau apartment, this comprehensive guide breaks down exactly what professional house cleaning costs in Montreal — and what factors affect your price.

Average House Cleaning Costs in Montreal (2026)

House cleaning prices in Montreal vary based on home size, cleaning type, and frequency. Here are the current market ranges for professional cleaning services in the Greater Montreal area:

By Home Size (Weekly Cleaning)

• Studio / Bachelor Apartment: $90 to $130 per visit
• 1-Bedroom Apartment: $110 to $160 per visit
• 2-Bedroom Apartment / Small House: $140 to $200 per visit
• 3-Bedroom House: $170 to $250 per visit
• 4-Bedroom House: $210 to $310 per visit
• 5+ Bedroom House: $260 to $400 per visit

By Cleaning Frequency

Weekly Cleaning: Lowest per-visit rate — ideal for families and busy professionals. Regular cleaning keeps your home consistently clean between visits, requiring less time per session.

Bi-Weekly Cleaning: Slightly higher per-visit rate than weekly. Good for couples or smaller households that maintain tidiness between professional cleans.

Monthly Cleaning: Higher per-visit rate since more buildup occurs between visits. Suitable for those who handle daily maintenance but want professional deep cleaning monthly.

One-Time / Occasional Cleaning: Highest per-visit rate. Ideal for post-renovation cleanup, pre-event preparation, or trying a service before committing to regular cleaning.

Deep Cleaning Costs

Deep cleaning is a comprehensive top-to-bottom service that covers areas not included in standard maintenance cleaning — inside cabinets, behind appliances, baseboards, window tracks, and light fixtures.

• Studio / 1-Bedroom Deep Clean: $180 to $300
• 2-Bedroom Deep Clean: $250 to $400
• 3-Bedroom Deep Clean: $350 to $500
• 4+ Bedroom Deep Clean: $450 to $700

What Affects House Cleaning Costs in Montreal

1. Home Size and Layout

The most significant pricing factor. More square footage and more rooms mean more cleaning time. Montreal older homes — common in Plateau-Mont-Royal, NDG, and Rosemont — often have smaller, more numerous rooms that actually take longer to clean than modern open-concept layouts.

2. Number of Bathrooms

Bathrooms are the most time-intensive rooms to clean. A home with three bathrooms costs more than a home of the same size with one bathroom.

3. Current Condition

First-time clients typically need a deep clean to establish a baseline. Homes that have not been professionally cleaned recently require more initial work. Once regular service begins, maintenance cleaning is faster and more affordable.

4. Pets

Homes with dogs, cats, or other pets typically require more cleaning time due to fur, dander, and occasional accidents. Pet-friendly cleaning is standard at Qualimaid — just let us know about your furry family members when getting a quote.

5. Children

Family homes with young children often need more attention to play areas, high-touch surfaces, and kitchen spaces. Child-safe, non-toxic products are standard on all Qualimaid services.

6. Location Within Montreal

While Qualimaid serves all of Greater Montreal at consistent rates, travel time to certain boroughs may factor into scheduling logistics. We serve Downtown, Plateau, NDG, Cote-des-Neiges, Westmount, Outremont, Rosemont, Hochelaga, Verdun, Lasalle, Saint-Laurent, Ahuntsic, Villeray, Montreal-Nord, and all Montreal boroughs, plus Laval, Longueuil, South Shore, and North Shore.

7. Add-On Services

Additional services beyond standard cleaning affect pricing: oven interior cleaning ($40-$80), refrigerator interior cleaning ($30-$60), inside cabinet cleaning ($50-$120), window cleaning ($5-$15 per window), laundry service ($25-$50 per load), and carpet shampooing (varies by area).

House Cleaning Cost by Montreal Neighborhood

While our rates are consistent across Montreal, here is how home types vary by neighborhood — which indirectly affects cleaning costs:

• Plateau-Mont-Royal: Mostly apartments and triplexes (1-3 bedrooms). Average cleaning: $110-$220/week.
• NDG: Mix of apartments and family homes (1-4 bedrooms). Average cleaning: $130-$280/week.

How to Save on House Cleaning in Montreal

Choose weekly over bi-weekly: More frequent cleaning means less buildup and faster visits — reducing your per-visit rate significantly.

Bundle services: Many clients save by combining house cleaning with occasional deep cleaning or seasonal window cleaning.

Refer friends: Qualimaid offers referral benefits — when you refer a friend who becomes a client, you both benefit.

Be home for the first clean: Doing a walkthrough with your cleaner ensures they understand your priorities from day one — reducing the need for adjustments later.
