The move out clean is the one cleaning job with money directly attached: your deposit, your landlord’s inspection, sometimes the sale of the property. Here is what it actually costs in Montreal in 2026, what makes the bill move, and when doing it yourself stops making sense.
The short answer on price
A standard cleaning in Montreal runs about $120 to $250 per visit for a condo or apartment and $200 to $400 and up for a house. A move out clean usually lands in the upper half of those ranges, because it is a deep clean by definition: the fridge, the oven, the inside of cabinets and closets, all the places a regular visit rotates through get done at once. One thing in your favour: an empty home cleans faster than a furnished one, so clearing everything out before the cleaners arrive keeps the price down.
What moves the price up or down
Four things, in order of impact. Size, obviously: a 5 and a half with two bathrooms is not a studio. Condition: years of cooking residue or a smoker’s unit takes hours more. What stays behind: appliances that remain need interiors done, and a furnished handover takes longer than an empty one. And timing: the days around July 1 are the busiest cleaning days of the year in Montreal, so booking two or three weeks ahead gets you a better slot and a calmer price than a last minute call.
What a move out clean includes
Kitchen degreased including inside the oven and fridge, bathrooms descaled and disinfected, floors vacuumed and washed, baseboards, switches and door frames wiped, closets and storage emptied of dust, windows on request. The full room by room list is in our move out cleaning checklist, which is also what our teams work from.
Doing it yourself: the honest math
For a 4 and a half, count 6 to 10 hours of serious cleaning for two people, after you have already spent the day packing and carrying boxes. If your schedule between two leases is tight, that math usually decides itself. Our move in and move out cleaning service takes the window between the truck leaving and the keys going back, and you get photos of the result if you are already at the new place.
