Start with the reason for the clean
A Burlington homeowner who wants the kitchen and bathrooms kept up every couple of weeks needs a different visit from someone in Millcroft getting ready for listing photos. The first is upkeep. The second is detail work that a buyer's eye will catch: baseboards, light switches, the inside of the oven, the tracks of sliding doors.
If a buyer, a landlord or an inspector is going to walk through and judge the house, book a deep or move-out clean. For ordinary upkeep of a home you are living in, regular cleaning is enough.
Regular, deep and move-out cleaning compared
| Regular | Deep | Move-out | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who it suits | Lived-in homes on a routine | First clean in a while, or before guests or a sale | Empty home being handed over |
| Kitchen | Counters, sink, stovetop, exterior of appliances | Adds cabinet fronts, backsplash grease, range hood | Inside cabinets, drawers and, as an add-on, inside the oven and fridge |
| Bathrooms | Toilet, tub, sink, mirror, floor | Adds grout attention, fixtures, vents | Everything, with the home empty |
| Floors and trim | Vacuum and mop | Baseboards, door frames, switch plates | Baseboards and every closet floor |
The exact checklist is confirmed on your quote. Appliance interiors are an add-on to a deep or move-out clean.
Book a clean before your Burlington listing photos
Tell us the bedrooms, bathrooms and your photo date. We will suggest a deep clean or a move-out clean and confirm a price and time.
What changes how long your clean takes
Square footage and floors
A backsplit or a two-storey with a finished basement has more stairs and trim than a bungalow of the same footprint.
How long since the last clean
Built-up grease on a range hood or soap scum on glass takes far longer than weekly upkeep.
Pets
Hair in vents, on baseboards and under furniture adds time. Mention pets when you ask for a price.
Furnished or empty
An empty home is faster per room because nothing has to be moved to reach floors and corners.
Add-ons
Inside the oven, inside the fridge and interior windows each add time and are quoted separately.
Cleaning around a move
If you are leaving a Burlington house, the order that works is to move the furniture, haul away anything left, and then clean the empty rooms. That way nobody cleans a floor that a dolly then rolls across. We do all three, so it can be one booking. Our move-out cleaning page has the full room checklist.
Your questions, answered
Before you book
How much does house cleaning cost in Burlington?
Cleaning is priced by the job. Tell us the bedrooms, bathrooms, rough square footage, the condition and whether the home is furnished, and we reply with a price.
Do you bring your own supplies?
Ask when you book. If you prefer particular products, for allergies or a natural stone counter, tell us and we will plan around them.
What is the difference between a deep clean and a move-out clean?
A deep clean is done in a lived-in home and works around your furniture. A move-out clean is done once the home is empty, so it reaches inside every cabinet, closet and drawer.
Can you clean the oven and fridge?
Yes, as an add-on to a deep or move-out clean. They take real time, so mention them when you ask for a price.
Do you clean before a home is listed?
Yes. Book the clean a day or two before photos so the rooms are at their brightest when the camera arrives.
Can I book a recurring clean in Burlington?
We offer cleaning across the GTA. Tell us the frequency and day you want so we can confirm a recurring schedule.
