Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning from $379 per visit. Free itemized quote before anyone arrives.
A move-out or move-in cleaning in Ontario is a top-to-bottom clean of an empty home, inside the oven, refrigerator, cabinets and closets included, priced flat per visit by home size. Tenants book a move-out cleaning to turn back their keys with confidence and protect their security deposit, while buyers and renters schedule a move-in cleaning to settle into a fresh space before unpacking. We send the same landlord-style checklist on every visit, offer a free itemized quote, and cover every corner of the city.
How much does a move out cleaning service cost in Ontario?
A move-out and move-in cleaning in Ontario starts from $379 per visit. For comparison, a standard clean for an occupied home starts from $239 per visit. An empty-home clean costs more because the work reaches deep house cleaning areas that are usually blocked by furniture, including baseboards, grout, inside every cabinet, closet, and appliance. We quote a flat rate per visit based on bedrooms, bathrooms, and the overall condition of the home, so the total is known before anyone arrives, while an hourly quote can grow when the job runs long. Rather than charging extra for individual tasks, the flat price includes inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, emptied cabinets, closets, and baseboards. Your quote is free, itemized, and fixed before the cleaner arrives.
What move out cleaning in Ontario involves that a generic one does not
In Ontario, 58% of homes are single-family detached houses, while 6% are in apartment buildings with 20 or more units. In nearby Eastvale, 88% of homes are single-family houses. Tenants moving out of local apartments often face detailed property manager walkthroughs, while buyers of larger houses must check multiple bathrooms and staircases. Flooding from heavy rain occurs frequently in the area, which tracks thick mud across entry floors and lower hallways during wet weather. Wildfires also affect the region, leaving fine ash on window sills, blinds, and ventilation covers. A landlord or buyer notices these entry marks and dusty window tracks immediately. Scrubbing grout and clearing window tracks before your move-out or move-in cleaning helps protect your floors and keeps dust from settling back onto fresh surfaces.
Getting the security deposit back in Ontario
For a tenant in California, the law gives a landlord 21 calendar days after you have vacated the premises to return your security deposit or send an itemized statement showing any deductions. The clock starts the day you vacate the property. You can read our California move-out and move-in cleaning page for details on deposit rules, normal wear and tear, and photo documentation. Dated photos of every room after the clean and an itemized receipt settle most disputes.
How long it takes, and when to book cleaning services in Ontario
A studio or one-bedroom move-out clean takes 2 to 4 labor hours, while a two-bedroom home takes 4 to 6 labor hours. A three-bedroom home of about 1,500 to 2,000 square feet requires 5 to 8 labor hours, and a four-bedroom or larger home of 3,000 square feet or more takes 8 to 14 or more labor hours. A two-person crew halves the time spent on site. Heavy appliance buildup can add 2 to 3 labor hours. Booking a few days ahead is usually sufficient. Schedule the move-out cleaning service for the final day after movers finish, and ensure electricity and running water remain connected.

Move out cleaning in Ontario: FAQ
What is the starting price for a move-out cleaning in Ontario?
A move-out cleaning starts from $379 per visit. The final cost depends on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and the home condition, rather than square footage.
Is it worth cleaning an apartment before moving out?
Booking a clean is worth it when your security deposit is larger than the cost of the service or when your lease requires a top-to-bottom clean. If your lease agreement charges a non-refundable fixed cleaning fee regardless of condition, a full clean may not be necessary.
What does a move-out cleaning include?
The service covers empty rooms top to bottom, including inside the oven, refrigerator, cabinets, and closets. A maid or cleaner scrubs bathrooms, wipes baseboards, and vacuums or mops all floors.
Do you charge by the hour for a move-out cleaning?
No, we charge a flat price per visit calculated from bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. Hourly quotes are hard to compare because the final cost changes depending on crew speed and who shows up.
How long does a landlord in California have to return a security deposit?
A landlord must return the security deposit or mail an itemized deduction list within 21 calendar days after the tenant vacates the property. Visit our California page for a full breakdown of deposit rights and documentation steps.
