Condo Cleaning in Toronto: What’s Included and What It Costs
Nearly half of Toronto households live in buildings five storeys or higher, so for most of the city, condo cleaning is home cleaning. But condo cleaning is not the same as cleaning a house: elevator bookings, concierge desks, strata rules and tight hallways all shape the job. Here is what a professional condo cleaning service in Toronto includes, how long it takes, and what you should expect to pay.
What Is Included in a Standard Condo Clean
A standard condo clean at Cleaning Hive covers every room in the unit. It is a full-service visit, not a touch-up, so you can hand over the keys and come home to a ready-to-live-in space.
- Kitchen: countertops, sink and faucet, backsplash, cabinet fronts and hardware, stovetop, microwave interior, appliance exteriors, and garbage and recycling taken out. Deep cleans add the inside of the oven and fridge.
- Bathrooms: toilets cleaned inside and out, tubs and showers de-soaped, sinks and faucets descaled, mirrors streak-free, tiles and grout lines scrubbed, exhaust fans wiped.
- Living spaces and bedrooms: all surfaces dusted, including shelves, window sills, baseboards, door frames and switch plates; vents and register covers wiped; floors vacuumed and mopped throughout; light fixtures dusted where reachable; beds stripped and remade, with fresh linens if you provide them.
- Common extras: balcony and patio doors wiped on the inside, inside closets, and under furniture that can be safely moved and returned.
Add-ons such as interior windows, laundry, inside-cabinet cleaning and hand-wiped baseboards are quoted up front, so the final price never surprises you. For the rooms that stay a little cleaner and smells that stay a little fresher in a small footprint, the basics of dust mites, vacuuming and bedding are covered in the EPA guide to indoor air quality: dust is the main indoor allergen, and it collects on the surfaces a weekly visit keeps under control.
How Long Does Condo Cleaning Take?
| Unit size | Typical visit | Starting price per visit* |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bed / 1 bath | 2-3 hours | from $194 |
| 2 bed / 2 bath | 3-5 hours | from $227 |
| 3+ bed, penthouse or large unit | 5-8 hours | from $249 |
*Rates before 13% HST. Every quote is free, written up front and honored on the day. Prices are the same across Toronto and the GTA, so there are no travel fees. Weekly and bi-weekly clients pay less per visit than one-time bookings.
Why Building Logistics Are Part of the Service
Toronto condos are a coordination job as much as a cleaning job. Professional cleaners who work in condos all day know how to handle the parts of your building that house cleaners never see: concierge check-ins, elevator bookings, visitor parking and strata rules. At Cleaning Hive, the team coordinates these ahead of the visit so you do not have to think about them on the day. Every visit is logged, and the same background-checked, bonded and insured cleaner comes back visit after visit, so your keys are in safe hands. Inside the unit, the same logic applies: wipe first, then disinfect high-touch points, the sequence the CDC recommends for a home.
Owners and Renters: Two Very Different Jobs
Most condo bookings fall into one of two camps:
- Owners who want the place guest-ready and sale-ready on a schedule, often weekly or bi-weekly.
- Renters who need a deposit-safe move-out at the end of a lease.
Both get the same standard of work, the same 100% satisfaction guarantee and the same supplies-included service (eco-friendly products are available on request). If a spot was missed, tell us within 24 hours and we will come back and re-clean it free within 5 days.
How to Book a Condo Clean
Booking takes about two minutes: choose your visit type and frequency and enter your building and unit size at the online booking page, or call (647) 558-0932 for a free quote. The pricing page shows the full picture, and the condo cleaning service page walks through the complete checklist. Most condo clients settle into a bi-weekly rhythm after the first visit; if you are deciding between frequencies, this guide to how often to book house cleaning compares the options.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does condo cleaning cost in Toronto? Every unit is quoted individually, but as a starting point: 1-bedroom condos from $194 per visit, 2-bedroom units from $227, and 3+ bedroom units from $249, all before 13% HST. The quote is free, written and honored on the day.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning? No. Most condo clients leave a key, a lockbox or instructions with the concierge. Cleaners are bonded and insured, and every visit is logged.
Are cleaning supplies included? Yes. Everything from all-purpose cleaners and microfiber cloths to a vacuum is included, and eco-friendly products are available on request. If you want to know what is in the bottles, Health Canada’s household products guidance covers what the labels mean.
Can condo cleaning help with a move-out? Yes. Renters book move-out cleans to protect their deposit, and owners book them to make the unit guest-ready. The standard visit covers the full home, so the listing looks sharp and the landlord inspection is clean.
How is the quote confirmed? The booking form gives you the exact number in seconds, the quote is written, and it is honored on the day. If the job needs more time, the team checks with you before adding a minute.
