How Much Does a House Cleaner Cost in Montreal? — 2026 Pricing Guide

Wondering how much a house cleaner costs in Montreal before booking? SNAM Cleaning Services uses simple, transparent pricing: $50 per hour with a 2.5-hour minimum per visit ($125). No hidden fees, no surprise charges.

What's the average house cleaner cost in Montreal?

The Montreal market typically ranges between $35 and $65 per hour. Lower rates ($30-40) often come from independent workers without insurance or formal registration. Higher rates ($60+) usually come from large franchises with bigger overhead. SNAM positions at $50/hour — striking a balance between affordability and professional quality. Our trusted cleaning lady service is one of the most popular options.

Why is there a $125 minimum per visit?

The 2.5-hour minimum ($125) covers fixed costs of every visit: travel, equipment setup, service start. Without a minimum, very small visits wouldn't be sustainable. For most apartments, 2.5 hours is more than enough for a complete recurring clean.

How many hours should I budget by home size?

Estimates for recurring cleaning: studio or 1 bedroom = 2.5 hours ($125). 2 bedrooms = 3-3.5 hours ($150-175). 3 bedrooms = 3.5-4.5 hours ($175-225). 4 bedrooms or house = 4.5-6 hours ($225-300). For deep cleaning, multiply by approximately 1.5×. See our house cleaning Montreal page for service details.

Are there discounts for recurring service?

Yes. Clients who commit to weekly or bi-weekly cleaning get preferential rates depending on contract duration. Recurring cleaning is also faster than deep cleaning since the home stays consistently clean — you pay less per visit while keeping a spotless home year-round.

Are cleaning supplies included in the price?

Absolutely. Professional cleaning supplies and equipment are included in the $50/hour rate. Vacuums, microfibers, disinfectants, specialized cleaners — everything is provided. If you prefer your own products (allergies, eco-friendly preferences), there's no charge or rate change.

Comparing other Montreal cleaning services

Some competitors advertise tempting rates like "$30/hour" but later add: travel fees ($15-25), supply fees ($10-20), minimum charges, weekend surcharges, etc. By the end you're paying $60-70/hour. SNAM prefers showing one honest all-inclusive rate: $50/hour means $50/hour. See our full rates and packages page for all service pricing.

How to save on cleaning costs

Three tips to reduce your cleaning bill without sacrificing quality: (1) Choose recurring cleaning over one-time deep cleans — total annual cost is lower. (2) Do an initial deep clean then switch to recurring — maintenance is faster. (3) Tidy surfaces before each visit so the cleaner focuses on cleaning, not picking up.

What about taxes?

The $50/hour rate is before taxes (GST + QST = approx. 14.975% in Quebec). The final quote you receive always includes taxes so you see the exact final amount to pay. No surprises on the invoice.
