House Cleaning Prices

House cleaning prices in Canada vary depending on who you hire and how the service is structured
Independent cleaners often charge lower hourly rates, but quality, reliability, and coverage can vary
Larger companies may send teams of 2–3 cleaners, increasing the hourly rate but completing the job faster
Some services charge per cleaner, while others charge per team, which can make pricing look very different
At Home Spritz, we focus on a consistent, trusted cleaner at a fair, transparent rate
We typically assign one dedicated cleaner, but can send multiple cleaners when needed for larger or time-sensitive jobs
The goal is simple: balance cost, consistency, and trust so you get reliable results every time

1. Independent Cleaners

Typical hourly rate: $35–$50/hr

What you get:

Lower upfront cost
Flexible scheduling
Trade-offs:
Varies a lot in quality and reliability
Often not insured or WCB covered
If they cancel, there’s usually no backup

👉 Good if price is the only priority
👉 Riskier for busy families who need consistency

2. Home Spritz (Balanced Approach)

Typical hourly rate: ~$48–$60/hr

What you get:

Same cleaner each visit (no rotation)
Fully vetted, background checked, insured, WCB covered
Living wage → better retention → more consistent service
Backup cleaners available if needed

How we work:

Usually 1 dedicated cleaner to build a relationship for longer periods
Can send 2 cleaners when needed (move-outs, larger homes, time constraints)

👉 Best balance of trust, consistency, and flexibility

3. Larger Cleaning Companies (Teams of 2–3+ Cleaners)

Typical structure:

Often house cleaning price charged per team hour, not per cleaner
Example: $200-250/hr for a team of 3
3 cleaning hours is 1 hour in your home

What you get:

Faster cleaning (done in less time)
Team-based approach

Trade-offs:

Different cleaners each visit (less consistency)
Harder to build trust in your home with strangers, kids, pets, valuables
Pricing can feel higher even if total time is shorter

👉 Good if you want speed over consistency
