House & Apartment Cleaning in Vancouver

Most standard cleans take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and layout of the home. A one-bedroom condo in Yaletown might be done in about 90 minutes. A character house in Kitsilano or Dunbar, especially one split into two or three rental suites, usually needs closer to 3 to 4 hours since each suite gets its own kitchen and bathroom pass.

For homeowners who want ongoing help instead of a one-off visit, Mint Sanitary offers recurring cleaning in Vancouver on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or custom schedule. Recurring cleans focus on maintaining a home that's already in good shape, so the scope is slightly lighter than a first-time standard clean.

Bathrooms: Scrub and sanitize toilets, tubs, and showers; clean mirrors and glass surfaces; wipe down the vanity, countertops, and fixtures; mop bathroom floors.

Kitchen: Clean and sanitize countertops and the sink; wipe down the stovetop, appliance exteriors, and cabinet fronts; clean inside the microwave; take out trash and replace liners.

Living Spaces: Dust all surfaces, shelves, and decor; wipe light switches, door handles, and baseboards; vacuum upholstery and cushions as needed; clean mirrors and glass surfaces.

Bedrooms: Dust all surfaces and furniture; make beds and tidy linens; vacuum floors, under beds, and closet floors; wipe down nightstands, dressers, and shelves.

Floors: Vacuum all carpeted areas; mop all hard floors; spot-clean floor edges and corners.

Recurring plans are priced lower per visit than a one-time standard clean, since our team spends less time per visit once your home is on a regular rotation. No contract attached: pause, adjust, or cancel your schedule anytime.

Deep cleaning covers what a recurring visit skips, including inside the oven, refrigerator, and dishwasher. See our deep cleaning in Vancouver page for details.

Condo towers in Downtown and Yaletown collect a different kind of grime than a house. Shared ventilation and less natural airflow mean dust and cooking odours build up faster on countertops and window ledges, even in units that look tidy at a glance. Floor-to-ceiling glass shows every smudge and water spot, and small square footage means clutter and dust get noticed quickly by anyone who walks in.

Character homes in Kitsilano and Dunbar tell a different story. Older hardwood, wainscoting, and built-in shelving trap dust in corners a quick tidy misses, and homes that have been split into rental suites see heavier day-to-day wear from multiple households sharing kitchens, entryways, and stairwells. Basement suites in these neighbourhoods often need extra attention to window wells and lower-level flooring where moisture and grit settle.

Renter turnover adds another layer across the city, but especially in Kitsilano, Dunbar, and the West End, where lease terms often flip every year. A unit changing hands needs a full reset before the next tenant moves in, and landlords managing multiple suites in one house tend to book cleaning around each move rather than on a fixed calendar.

Vancouver's rental market moves faster than most cities its size, and house cleaning here has to account for it. The West End alone is one of the densest rental markets in Canada, and Kitsilano and Mount Pleasant aren't far behind, so a meaningful share of Vancouver cleaning bookings are turnover jobs sandwiched between one tenant leaving and the next one arriving, sometimes with only a day or two of gap. That's a different rhythm than a homeowner booking a recurring clean on their own schedule, and it means our scheduling has to flex around move dates set by landlords and property managers, not just the calendar.

The condo-versus-house split shapes the work itself. A Yaletown or Downtown tower unit is compact, sealed, and shared with dozens of other units on the same ventilation system, so surface dust and cooking smells build up in a way that's rarely a factor in a detached Kitsilano or Dunbar house with its own windows and yard. Those houses bring the opposite problem: more square footage, older finishes, and in many cases multiple rental suites stacked under one roof, each with its own kitchen and bathroom that needs its own pass. Add Vancouver's wet season, roughly October through April, and both property types see more grit and moisture tracked in at entryways, though a ground-floor character home deals with it at more entry points than a fifteenth-floor condo does.

Vacation Rental Cleaning in Vancouver

Mint Sanitary cleans houses and apartments across Kitsilano, Yaletown, Downtown Vancouver, West End, Mount Pleasant, Kerrisdale, Point Grey, Commercial Drive, Fairview, and Dunbar. Booking patterns differ block by block: condo towers in Downtown, Yaletown, West End, and Fairview lean toward recurring maintenance visits around a fixed schedule, while character homes in Kitsilano, Dunbar, Point Grey, and Kerrisdale mix regular upkeep with move-in and move-out cleans tied to rental turnover. Wherever you are in the city, our crews route over from North Vancouver, so a confirmed booking window matters more here than it does closer to home base.
