Pricing
How much does house cleaning cost in Edmonton in 2026?
Edmonton house cleaning prices in 2026: $35/hour standard recurring, $40 deep/move-out/Airbnb, $45 post-construction, $50 office. Per cleaner per hour. Most homes need a two-person team. What drives the number and how to compare quotes.
TL;DR
In Edmonton in 2026, our cleaning is priced per cleaner per hour — $35 for standard recurring (because regulars take less time each visit), $40 for deep/move-in/move-out/Airbnb, $45 for post-construction, $50 for office. Most homes need a two-person team for 2–6 hours, so a typical 2-bed/1-bath standard clean lands at $140–$210 total.
We get this question on almost every quote call. The honest answer is that Edmonton cleaning rates have moved up modestly in 2025–2026 because supplies, fuel and insurance have all risen, but the spread between honest companies is narrow once you compare apples to apples.
What does the average Edmonton home pay?
For a tidy 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Edmonton condo on a biweekly recurring schedule, the all-in price in mid-2026 lands around $140–$210 — that is 2–3 hours with a two-person team at $35 per cleaner per hour. A 3-bed/2-bath single-family home in Mill Woods or Sherwood Park sits closer to $245–$350 because of extra bathroom time. Frequency matters: monthly cleans take longer per visit than weekly because the dirt re-accumulates between visits.
What drives the price?
- Square footage and bathrooms — bathrooms are time-intensive, so they shift the cleaner-hours more than bedrooms.
- Frequency — weekly cleans are quickest per visit, monthly take longest. Recurring schedules get our $35/hour rate; one-off cleans are billed at $40/hour.
- Service type — deep cleans, move-in/move-out, office, post-construction, and Airbnb turnover are billed at $40/hour vs $35 for standard maintenance, and most take 2× the time of a standard clean.
- Pets — extra hair and dander add 15–30 minutes per visit.
- Add-ons — inside oven, inside fridge, inside windows, laundry — each adds 30–60 minutes of cleaner time.
Why hourly per cleaner is the honest model
We bill hourly per cleaner for every service in 2026. It is the only honest way: you pay for the time your home actually needs, never overpay on a flat rate that absorbs someone else's slow visit. The ladder is simple — $35/hour for recurring maintenance, $40/hour for one-off residential and Airbnb, $45/hour for post-construction, $50/hour for office cleaning. Each home usually gets a two-person team.
How to compare quotes
- Ask whether supplies are included (ours always are).
- Ask whether GST is included in the quote (ours is).
- Ask whether the cleaners are insured for at least $2 million in liability (ours are).
- Ask whether the same team comes each visit (with us, yes).
- Ask what the re-clean policy is if you are not happy (24 hours, free, no debate).
Frequently asked
- Is GST included in the $35/hour rate?
- Yes — all our advertised rates are GST-inclusive. The number on the quote is what you pay.
- Do you charge a travel fee?
- No. Travel time inside our 80-kilometre service radius is built into the rate.
- What if my home is bigger than the example?
- Bigger homes need more cleaner-hours, not a higher hourly rate. A fourth bedroom adds roughly 60–90 minutes per visit; a third bathroom adds another 30–45 minutes. We confirm a firm time estimate after a 90-second call.
- Why does recurring cost less per hour than one-off?
- Because recurring homes get faster every visit — the cleaners learn the layout, products, and quirks. The $35/hour rate reflects that efficiency. One-off cleans (deep, move-out, Airbnb) start from scratch each time, so they're $40/hour. Post-construction and office work require specialty equipment and labour — $45 and $50/hour respectively.
