The Cost of House Cleaning Services in Ottawa: Rates Explained

We clean all commonly used areas of the home, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, and floors.
Our team follows a top-to-bottom system (dusting first, floors last). We focus on high-touch surfaces and visible buildup, and we can tailor priorities based on your home.
Optional add-ons by request (and time): inside oven, inside fridge, inside cabinets (if empty), interior windows/blinds. For inside appliances and behind them, the appliance must be empty and safely accessible before we arrive.

Our cleaning services* include, but are not limited to:

• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Sleeping areas
• Living areas
• Hardwood floors
• Carpet and area rugs
• Manufactured flooring
• Appliances

For first-time services (including deep cleans and move-in/move-out cleanings), our team brings all professional-grade cleaning products and supplies.

For recurring clients, we encourage you to keep a few basic items in your home so we can avoid cross-contamination between homes and use products that match your surfaces and preferences. If you become a regular client, we’ll send you a simple recommended list (with photos) of the products we ask regular clients to provide.

For recurring clients, we encourage you to keep a few basic items in your home (for example: a vacuum, mop, and a couple of preferred products). This helps reduce cross-contamination between homes (allergens, pet hair, or germs) and ensures we are using products that are best for your specific surfaces and preferences.

If you don’t have supplies yet, we can recommend a simple starter list.

We use professional-grade cleaning products and tools that are effective and safe for most residential surfaces.

We can accommodate eco-friendly, fragrance-free, or allergy-sensitive preferences whenever possible – just tell us what you prefer at booking.

A quick tidy helps us focus our time on cleaning rather than organizing. If possible, clear countertops and floors of personal items, and let us know in advance about any priority areas.

No – you don’t need to be home. Many clients provide entry instructions (door code, key, or garage access).

For a first-time clean, it can be helpful if you’re available (in person or by message) to confirm priorities and any do-not-touch areas.

At the end of the visit, we recommend doing a quick walkthrough while the cleaners are still there. If something was missed, we can usually address it right away.

Yes – Our cleaners are thoroughly trained for each cleaning task and complete required safety training. Euroshine is fully insured, and our cleaners have passed police record checks.

We also take professionalism and accountability seriously—our goal is to deliver consistent service you can feel confident about.

Where required, we complete background checks and maintain appropriate business insurance. We also follow WSIB requirements.

For move-out cleanings, the home should be empty so we can clean thoroughly. Please remove all personal items and garbage beforehand.

If you want inside appliances (oven/fridge) and behind them cleaned, they must be empty and safely accessible before we arrive.

We do not wash dishes or change bed sheets as part of standard service.

Windows, blinds, and other detail tasks can be added when requested, but they require additional time – please tell us in advance so we can plan accordingly.

We do our best to assign a consistent team for recurring cleanings. Occasionally, the team may change due to scheduling and availability.

All team members are trained and follow our cleaning standards and safety procedures.

Most visits are completed by a team of two cleaners.

For larger services (such as some move-in/move-out or deep cleanings), we may recommend a larger team depending on the size and condition of the home.

We provide an estimated arrival window and estimated duration based on the information you share. Times can vary slightly due to traffic and the day’s schedule.

If timing is important for you (appointments, school pickup, etc.), let us know – we’ll do our best to plan around it.

Yes – for recurring services, we aim to send the same team whenever possible so they can learn your home and preferences.

If a change is needed due to scheduling, we’ll ensure the replacement team follows the same checklist and standards.

If something doesn’t look right, please let us know as soon as possible. The best time is while the team is still in your home so we can fix it immediately.

If you notice something after the team has left, email us at info@euroshine.ca with a brief description (and

photos if helpful). We’ll review it and make it right.

Yes – you can share priorities (for example: baseboards, vents, pet hair, inside microwave) and we’ll tailor the visit based on the time booked.

If something is accidentally damaged, we will notify you as soon as possible and discuss next steps. We handle issues case by case and aim for a fair, timely resolution.

Please email us (info@euroshine.ca) in advance with the details (what you need done and when). This helps us schedule enough time and assign the right team.

Not at all – we’re happy to work in homes with pets. If your pet is anxious or protective, please let us know in advance and consider placing them in a comfortable room while we clean.

We offer recurring home cleaning, one-time/deep cleaning, move-in/move-out cleaning, and post-construction cleaning. We can also tailor services based on your needs and priorities.

Prices vary depending on the size of your home and the type of service you need.

We can accommodate eco-friendly or low-scent product preferences whenever possible. Please tell us at booking if you have allergies, sensitivities, or product preferences.

Deep cleans and move-in/move-out cleanings focus on extra detail and built-up areas and typically take longer than regular maintenance cleanings.

Recurring cleanings focus on maintaining the home once the baseline is established, so visits are usually more efficient over time.

If you’re unsure what you need, we’ll recommend the best option after a few quick questions.

Standard cleaning typically includes dusting, wiping surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, vacuuming, and mopping.

Add-ons can include inside the oven or fridge, inside cabinets (if empty), interior windows/blinds, and extra buildup detail work.

Tell us what you want done and we’ll confirm what fits in the scheduled time.

For safety, we do not move very heavy furniture or lift items that could risk injury or damage.

We can usually move light items (small chairs, mats, small decor) when safe to do so. If there’s something you’d like moved, please mention it in advance.

Yes, whenever possible. Please let us know at booking if anyone in the home has allergies, sensitivities, asthma, or product preferences.

If you have preferred products, we can use them.

Yes – weekend cleanings are available, but spaces can be limited.

If you’d like a weekend appointment, please email us (info@euroshine.ca) in advance with your preferred day/time and the details of your home or office, and we’ll do our best to find the closest available slot.

We do our best to accommodate preferred times, especially for recurring clients. If your preferred slot isn’t available, we’ll offer the closest alternative.

Yes. We provide both residential and commercial recurring cleaning services, and we currently serve 148+ happy regular clients.

If you’re considering a regular service, we recommend starting with an initial cleaning. This allows us to assess your space, determine a realistic schedule, and set a flat rate for your preferred frequency. Because our calendar fills quickly with ongoing clients, availability is organized week by week to accommodate new bookings as efficiently as possible.

We recommend starting with a first-time clean so we can understand your home and priorities. After that, we’ll suggest the best frequency and provide an ongoing plan.

No formal contract is required for our clients. Satisfaction with our services is the primary determinant of continued engagement, and our clients are free to terminate our service at any time without obligation.

We do not clean on public holidays. If your usual day falls on a holiday, we’ll contact you to reschedule.

Email us at least 48 hours before your scheduled visit to skip or reschedule a cleaning.

Changes made within 48 hours may be subject to a cancellation fee.

Yes – we serve Ottawa and many surrounding neighbourhoods, including Westboro, Nepean, Barrhaven, and Stittsville.

If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, contact us and we’ll confirm availability.

Yes – our minimum visit is 1.5 hours with a team of two cleaners.

Minimum time recommendations can still vary depending on the type of service and the size/condition of the home (for example, a first-time deep clean or move-in/move-out service usually requires more time). When you request a quote, we’ll confirm what’s realistic for your home.

Availability varies by season. Booking earlier gives you the best choice of dates and times, especially for move-in/move-out and holiday periods.

If you need a specific date, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

We accept e-transfer, cheque, and cash.

Yes – for recurring clients, we can keep a key or garage remote (or use a door code) so the team can enter easily and stay on schedule.

We’ll confirm your preferred entry method and who will hold the key.

Many one-time and deep cleaning services are priced by labour hour.

A labour hour means one cleaner working for one hour. For example: a team of two cleaners for 3 hours equals 6 labour hours.

We’ll confirm the rate and the estimated labour hours before your appointment.

If the team arrives and cannot access the home, it may be treated as a late cancellation because the time has been reserved for you.

If this happens, we’ll contact you right away and do our best to find a solution. Please ensure entry instructions are up to date before each visit.

Entry is arranged based on your preference: key, door code, garage entry, or being home to let the team in.

Please share entry instructions in advance so the team can start on time.

The keys shall exclusively rest with the professional cleaning personnel entrusted with the routine maintenance of your residence.
