If you have ever searched "house cleaning near me" in Whitby or Oshawa and gotten quotes from $120 to $400 for what sounds like the same job, you are not alone. I run a cleaning crew across Durham Region, so here is roughly how the pricing actually works in 2026.
Recurring cleans
A standard recurring clean for a normal 2 to 3 bedroom home runs about $129 to $189, depending on size and how often you book. Weekly is cheaper per visit than one-time, which surprises people. If you are in Pickering or the west end of Ajax you tend to land at the lower end because the drive is shorter. We keep local pages updated for Pickering and Ajax if you want the breakdown.
Deep cleans
First-time deep clean (baseboards, inside the oven, the whole thing) is usually $230 to $320. Older homes in Whitby and Oshawa book these a lot, especially in spring.
Move-out cleans
This is where the spread gets wild. A proper move-out, the kind that actually gets your deposit back, starts around $269 and scales with square footage. Book it once the place is empty, not while boxes are everywhere. If you are out toward Clarington, Bowmanville or Courtice, we still cover it, and you can see exactly what is included on our move-out cleaning page.
A few honest tips
- Cheaper is not always cheaper. The $120 quotes are often a solo operator with no insurance and no backup.
- Ask if the price is flat or hourly. Hourly sounds cheap until hour four.
- Book recurring if you can. The per-visit price drops and the deep clean never gets that bad again.
That is the real picture for Durham in 2026. If you want an actual number for your specific place instead of a range, grab a flat-rate quote here.
