Key findings
- A 10,000 sq ft office cleaned three times a week costs about $1,400 a month in the median Canadian city we price.
- The same office runs about $1,300 in the least expensive city (Regina, SK; Winnipeg, MB; Fredericton, NB and 7 more) and $1,850 in the most expensive (Whitehorse, YT), a gap of 42%. The local wage for cleaners explains almost all of it.
- Most companies charge about $100 a visit at minimum, so small buildings cost about the same everywhere: about $425 a month for a 2,500 sq ft office cleaned once a week.

Frequently asked questions
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Canada?
A 10,000 square foot office cleaned three times a week costs about $1,400 a month in the median Canadian city we price, from about $1,300 in Regina to $1,850 in Whitehorse. A small office cleaned once a week costs about $425 a month almost everywhere. Prices are in Canadian dollars, before sales tax.
Why does cleaning cost more in some Canadian cities?
Labour is most of the cost, so the local wage for cleaners sets the price. Cities where cleaners earn more, such as those in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, cost more to clean.
What should a cleaning company show me before I sign?
A certificate of insurance naming your business, with commercial general liability of at least $2 million per occurrence, a janitorial bond, and a clearance letter from your province's workers' compensation board (in Ontario, a WSIB clearance certificate). Ask for two references from buildings like yours, too.
