Move-out cleaning in Ottawa

The inspection standard: what a landlord actually checks

Your move-out condition affects your deposit and your rental references. Our work list follows what a landlord or property manager actually inspects:

• Kitchen: inside/outside cabinets, fridge and oven degreased inside, descaled sink, range hood
• Bathrooms: shower limescale, full toilet, emptied and washed vanity, mirrors
• Rooms: baseboards, switches, frames, light wall marks, inside closets
• Floors: full vacuum then wash — including areas freed up by the move

On request, we send dated photos of the result — useful for your deposit release file.

2026 indicative ranges

• Studio or 1-bedroom: $189 – $269
• 2-bedroom apartment or condo: $249 – $349
• House or townhouse: $349 – $599
• Add-ons: swept garage, balcony, interior windows — itemized on the quote

Price depends mostly on condition and size; an empty unit cleans faster and costs less. Firm price confirmed in writing within 24 hours.

⚠️ End-of-month and July 1 weeks book out fast on both sides of the river — reserve 2–3 weeks ahead to lock your date.

Move-in cleaning: start from a truly clean home

Move-in cleaning is best done in an empty unit, before the boxes arrive: sanitizing the bathrooms and kitchen left by previous occupants, inside cabinets, floors. Same standard as a move-out, applied to your new home.

If your home is lived-in and you want a full reset instead, see our deep cleaning in Ottawa. Managing a short-term rental? See Airbnb cleaning.

Local FAQ

How much does move-out cleaning cost in Ottawa?

Between $189 and $349 for most apartments and condos, and $349–$599 for a house, depending on size and condition. Firm written price within 24 hours.

Does the unit need to be empty?

Ideally yes: results are better and the price lower. If everything happens the same day, schedule the cleaning after the movers leave.

Are the inside of the fridge and oven really included?

Yes — unlike a deep clean where they’re add-ons, they’re included by default in a move-out clean, along with inside cabinets.

Can you provide proof for my landlord?

Yes: dated photos of the result and an itemized receipt listing the areas cleaned, on request.

Do you clean on July 1st and end-of-month dates?

Yes, but slots go fast: for the last week of the month and July 1st week, book 2–3 weeks ahead.
