House Cleaning Questions, Answered
The things people in Kingston most often ask before booking a cleaner, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, call (613) 412 9459.
Prices and Booking
How much does house cleaning cost in Kingston?
Kingston listings in late 2026 put regular visits at roughly $120 to $250, averaging around $160, and deep cleans at about $190 to $500, averaging around $270. Those are local estimates. We give you a fixed quote for your own home before the first visit.
Regular clean or deep clean: what separates them?
Regular visits maintain the rooms you live in: kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, floors. A deep clean adds the work that only needs doing occasionally, such as baseboards, cabinet fronts, light fixtures, soap-scum buildup and edges by hand. Most homes start with a deep clean and then move to regular visits.
How often should I book: weekly, every two weeks or monthly?
A visit every second week is the rhythm most households land on. Weekly suits busy families and homes with pets; monthly suits smaller homes or people who tidy as they go. Visits that come more often are usually shorter, so each one costs less.
Visits and Scheduling
Do I need to be home?
No. It's normal to be at work while the cleaning happens. You can leave a key, use a lockbox or give us a code, and we'll lock up exactly as you ask.
What happens if my regular cleaner is sick or on holiday?
We arrange cover where we can. If that isn't possible, we call you before the visit to rebook, so you're never left waiting.
Can I skip, move or pause visits?
Yes. A couple of days' notice is all we ask to skip or move a visit. Pausing for the summer or a long trip is fine too; tell us when you'd like to restart.
Do you offer after-work or Saturday cleans?
Our usual hours are weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.. Saturday and late-afternoon slots are limited, so ask about them when you book.
Your Home
Do you bring your own supplies?
If you'd like us to use your own products, such as scent-free or particular cleaners for stone or wood, tell us and it goes on your file.
Do you clean homes with pets?
Yes. Tell us about your pets when you book: we'll plan for the extra hair and note anything we should know, like a cat who slips out the door.
Can I ask about insurance and screening?
Of course. Ask when you book and we'll answer directly.
Moving Cleans
Can you time a move-out clean to my lease end or closing date?
That's how we book them. Tell us the key-return, inspection or closing time and we plan the clean backwards from it, usually the day before or the morning of.
Do you clean student houses and apartments near Queen's?
Yes. With most Kingston leases ending April 30, late April is our busiest week, so book as early as you can.
