What to expect from a professional house cleaning in Edmonton
August 6, 2026
Booking a cleaner for the first time raises questions you don't want to ask out loud. What do I need to do before they arrive? Are my pets a problem? What if the house is genuinely messy right now?
Here's what actually happens, from the first appointment to an ongoing schedule that works around your life.
You don't need to pre-clean
The most common thing new clients tell us: "I tidied up a bit before you came."
We appreciate the thought. It isn't necessary.
Our job is to clean your home, not to judge its current state. The pile of laundry, the sticky stovetop, the bathroom you've been putting off for two weeks: that's exactly what you're handing to us. If the home were already spotless, you wouldn't need to call.
No remarks about the mess. No sighing. We clean and move on.
What the first visit includes
The first clean takes longer than any follow-up. We're learning the space: which corners collect dust, how the kitchen is laid out, what the previous cleaner (or lack of one) left behind.
A standard first clean in Edmonton covers:
- All surfaces, including shelves, baseboards, and light switches
- Full bathroom: toilet, tub or shower, sink, mirrors, and floors
- Kitchen: stovetop, appliances, counters, sink, and cabinet fronts
- All floors vacuumed and mopped throughout
- Bins emptied in every room
We bring our own supplies. If you'd like us to use specific products or avoid certain ones for allergies or preferences, mention it at booking.
Your pets stay
Most cleaning services ask you to remove pets during the clean. We don't.
Your cat or dog is part of the household. We work around them, not against them. We've cleaned alongside curious cats who follow us room to room, large dogs who supervise from their beds, and everything in between. If a pet has claimed a spot and won't move, we clean around it.
The same person shows up every time
We run small on purpose. The same cleaner, or the same pair on larger homes, comes back for every visit.
That means something real. You know who to expect. They already know where things live, which cupboards to skip, and how your kitchen is laid out. No re-explaining every time, no adjusting to a stranger. That kind of familiarity takes a visit or two to build, and once it's there, it holds.
Recurring cleans and how they work
Most clients start with a one-off clean, then move into a bi-weekly recurring schedule once they see the difference. The home doesn't fall as far behind between visits, which means each clean goes faster.
Our recurring rates include a 10% discount for weekly cleans and 5% for bi-weekly. You're not locked in: pause, skip, or cancel without a fee. Most clients don't, but the option is there.

When a deep clean makes sense
A standard recurring clean keeps an already-clean home in shape. A deep cleaning service goes further: inside the oven, inside the fridge, grout scrubbing, detailed work around appliances, and anywhere that gets skipped in a standard pass.
Good times to book a deep clean in Edmonton:
- Before starting a recurring schedule, so we begin from a clean baseline
- Moving into or out of a home or apartment
- End of season, or after a renovation
- A long stretch where regular cleaning slipped
Deep cleaning in Edmonton starts at $300. Move-in/move-out cleans start at $400 and vary by home size.
