You call three cleaning companies. You get three different prices. One quotes by the hour. One gives a flat price. One won’t give a number until they see your home. It’s confusing, and it’s hard to know what’s fair.
This guide shows how much house cleaning costs in Surrey in 2026. We’ll use real numbers: what cleaners across BC charge, what we charge, and what a home like yours might cost. Crystal Clean Dream Team has cleaned Surrey homes since 2013, from Fleetwood townhouses to big family homes in South Surrey. So we know what drives the price up and what keeps it down. By the end, you’ll be able to look at any quote and know if it’s fair.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Average prices and our hourly rates
- Cost by home size, with a simple table

Quick Answer: How much does house cleaning cost in Surrey?
In BC, hiring a house cleaner usually costs $42–$55 per hour. At Crystal Clean Dream Team, a regular house cleaning is $34.50 per hour, and a deep, move-in or move-out cleaning is $38.50 per hour. All supplies and tools are included.
Most homes take 2 to 5 hours to clean, depending on size. That means a regular cleaning in Surrey often costs about $69 to $173 with us. Bigger homes, first-time deep cleans and homes with pets take longer, so they cost more. Before you book, ask any cleaner if the price includes GST and supplies.

Average House Cleaning Prices in Surrey (2026)
Most cleaners in the Lower Mainland charge by the hour. Across British Columbia, the usual range is $42 to $55 per hour. Some companies in Vancouver charge per cleaner, per hour, with a 3-hour minimum. So if two cleaners come, you pay for both.
Here’s how our rates compare:
| Typical BC rate | Crystal Clean Dream Team | |
|---|---|---|
| Regular house cleaning | $42–$55/hr | $34.50/hr |
| Deep, move-in, move-out cleaning | Varies | $38.50/hr |
| Supplies and tools | Sometimes extra | Always included |
A low hourly rate only matters if the work is good. That’s why we come back within 24 hours if you’re not happy with any part of your clean.
House Cleaning Cost by Home Size
Now that you know the hourly rate, let’s turn it into a real number for your home.
The biggest thing that sets the price is how big your home is. More rooms means more hours. Here’s a simple guide using typical cleaning times and our regular rate of $34.50 per hour:
| Home size | Typical cleaning time | Estimated regular clean (at $34.50/hr) |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 bedroom condo or apartment | 2–3 hours | $69 – $104 |
| 3–4 bedroom house or townhouse | 3–5 hours | $104 – $173 |
| 5–6 bedroom house | 5–8 hours | $173 – $276 |
Estimates before tax. Your real time depends on your home’s condition and what you want cleaned.
💡 Tip: Your first clean usually takes the longest. After that, regular visits keep your home in shape, so each visit gets faster.
Regular vs Deep vs Move-Out Cleaning Cost
Size is only part of the story. The type of clean matters too.
| Type of clean | What it covers | Our rate | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular cleaning | Kitchen counters, sinks and outside of appliances; bathrooms and mirrors; dusting; floors; trash | $34.50/hr | Weekly, every-two-weeks or monthly upkeep |
| Deep cleaning | Everything in a regular clean, plus detail work like grout, baseboards, trim, light fixtures and ceiling fans | $38.50/hr | Spring cleaning, before guests, homes that haven’t been cleaned in a while |
| Move-in / move-out | A deep clean of an empty home, inside ovens and fridges included | $38.50/hr | Getting your damage deposit back, or a fresh start in a new place |
A deep clean costs $4 more per hour, and it takes longer, because we clean the spots a regular visit skips. If your home hasn’t had a professional clean in months, start with a deep clean. Then switch to regular visits.

What Changes the Price of a House Cleaning?
Two homes with the same number of bedrooms can cost very different amounts. Here’s why:
- Condition of the home. A home cleaned every two weeks is fast to clean. A home that hasn’t been cleaned in months needs more time.
- How often you book. Weekly and every-two-weeks visits are shorter, because dirt never has time to build up.
- Pets and kids. Pet hair, muddy paws and sticky fingers add time. In Surrey’s rainy months, entryways and floors get dirty fast.
- Extras. Inside the oven, inside the fridge and inside cabinets take extra time.
- Supplies. Some cleaners charge extra for products. We bring all our own green cleaning products and tools.
- Access and parking. A home you can walk right into is faster than a condo tower with a long check-in.
Hourly vs Flat-Rate Pricing: Which Is Better?
Some Lower Mainland companies sell flat packages based on bedrooms and bathrooms. Others, like us, charge by the hour. Here’s the difference:
| Hourly pricing | Flat-rate pricing | |
|---|---|---|
| You pay for | The time the clean actually takes | A set package price |
| Good when | Your home is small, tidy or cleaned often | You want one fixed number up front |
| Watch for | Ask for an estimate of hours first | Extras may be add-on fees |
| Fairness | A tidy home costs less | A tidy home costs the same as a messy one |
With hourly pricing, a well-kept home costs less. We also give a free quote first, so you know what to expect before we start.
Hidden Costs to Ask About Before You Book
A low hourly rate can still turn into a high bill. Here’s what to watch for. Ask every cleaner these questions:
- ☐ Is GST included? GST in BC is 5%. Ask if the price you were quoted includes it.
- ☐ Is there a minimum number of hours? Some companies have a 3-hour minimum.
- ☐ Is the rate per cleaner or per visit? Two cleaners at a per-cleaner rate means double the hourly cost.
- ☐ Are supplies included? Products and equipment can add up.
- ☐ Are you insured? If something breaks, insurance protects you.
- ☐ Are you a registered business? This one matters more than most people think.
Here’s why. In BC, if you hire a person directly for ongoing work like housekeeping for 8 or more hours a week, you may count as their employer and need to apply for WorkSafeBC coverage. If you hire an independent business, you are a customer, not an employer. WorkSafeBC also suggests checking that the business is registered by asking for a clearance letter [1].
