Looking for house cleaners in Oakville?
This page is the regular house clean: the one you book weekly, bi-weekly or as a one-off to keep a lived-in home in order. For deep cleans, move-outs, condos, Airbnb turnovers or offices, the full menu is on cleaning services in Oakville. We're an independent cleaner based in Oakville, working across Oakville, Burlington and Milton, and we're small on purpose. We aim to send familiar cleaners whenever possible, they learn your home, and you always know who's coming through your door. The story behind Heron Cleaning explains why we work this way.
Every clean is done by two professional cleaners and starts as a Basic clean: every reachable surface dusted, every accessible floor vacuumed and hard floors mopped. You add what you want from there, bathrooms at +$22 each, the kitchen at +$28, the oven from +$21, so the whole home is done to exactly the level you chose. We bring everything, vacuum, mop system, microfibre cloths and products, at no extra charge.
Prices are published on this page and on our pricing page, so you know what a clean costs before you speak to anyone. Most Oakville homes we clean are 3 or 4 bedrooms, which is from $163 to $182 before HST for the Basic clean (plus a size line at 1,000 sq ft and above) and from $235 for a 3-bedroom with two bathrooms and the kitchen. That is the main thing we do differently: the number is on the page rather than at the end of a quote call.

How often should you book home cleaning in Oakville?
Most Oakville homes we clean are on a bi-weekly schedule, which is what people usually mean by an Oakville maid service. Here's how to choose.
Weekly
Larger families, pets, or anyone working long hours. Nothing ever builds up and each visit is quicker. 20% off from your second clean.
Bi-weekly, most popular
The schedule that keeps a home genuinely on top of itself without over-cleaning. Choose this frequency when it fits your household’s use and cleaning needs. 15% off.
Monthly or one-off
Smaller households, or you handle the day-to-day and want the deep work done properly. Consider adding a deep clean the first time.
Home cleaning in Oakville, condos to five-bedroom homes
A condo in Uptown Core or a Kerr Village rental may need different tasks from a four-bedroom home in Joshua Creek or West Oak Trails. Basic cleaning starts at $89 for one bedroom and $163 for three bedrooms, under 1,000 sq ft. Add the actual size, bathrooms, kitchen and other tasks in the calculator. Team size and visit hours are confirmed for your home when booking.
Condo cleaning in Oakville. Condos are quicker but fussier: less floor, more glass, and balconies that collect more than you'd expect. We work around concierge and elevator booking rules, and we don't charge a minimum callout on top of the condo rate the way hourly services usually do.
Larger detached homes. Above-ground floor area and selected rooms determine the price: the home size adjustment is +$19 at 1,000 sq ft and +$165 at 4,000 sq ft. Add each full bathroom at +$22. The calculator shows each charge before booking.

House cleaning questions
Will the agreed cleaning price increase on arrival?
Choose rooms and tasks at published prices. We confirm scope, package price and visit hours when booking. Prices rely on your property details and online selections. If the home is larger, its condition is worse than described, or more work is needed, staff explain the extra time and price on-site. Extra charges apply only if you agree before that work continues. No unapproved charges are added.
What will a cleaner actually do in 3 hours?
Visit hours and team size are confirmed at booking for your home, its condition and the selected task list.
How much should I pay a cleaner per hour in Ontario?
Ask each provider for its current hourly rate, minimum time, included supplies and insurance arrangements. Heron is $39 per cleaner, per hour with a 3-hour minimum per cleaner, supplies included, if you would rather set the task list yourself. Most people do better with a built clean: Basic from $89, then only the rooms and jobs you add, with the total fixed before we arrive.
Do you bring your own supplies and equipment?
Yes. We bring supplies and equipment for the agreed work. Discuss product preferences and sensitive surfaces before the visit. We can use suitable, clearly labelled customer products when their instructions and the surface allow; unsafe or incompatible products may be declined.
What if I'm not happy with the clean?
Tell us within 24 hours of service completion about missed or poorly cleaned work within the agreed service, and we will arrange to put it right at no charge. Unbooked extras and new mess are excluded. Statutory rights remain unchanged.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
Not at all. Agree secure entry and access instructions if you will be away. You can leave a key, give us a lockbox code, or let us in and head out. We aim to send the same cleaning team whenever possible, so you get familiar faces who get to know your home and preferences, and you always know who is at the door.
Will I get the same cleaners each time?
Familiar cleaners whenever possible; individuals are not guaranteed. Confirm staffing and hours at booking.

Do you tip house cleaners in Canada?
Tipping is optional and is not required. Choose any amount you are comfortable with; it does not change the agreed cleaning price or service.
Do you charge extra for pets in Oakville?
For Basic, Deep, move-in/out and Airbnb cleaning, one flat +$28 per visit when there are pets in the home, however many you have. It covers the extra passes pet hair needs on floors, furniture and along baseboards, litter and feeding areas wiped around, and pet-safe products throughout. Choose “pets at home” when you build your clean and it shows as its own line; a 3-bedroom home with two bathrooms, the kitchen and a pet is from $263 before HST, and the weekly or bi-weekly discount applies to the pets line like the rest of the clean. The post-construction pet add-on is $28 per visit and is selected separately.
Do your vacuums have HEPA filtration?
Yes, HEPA-level. Every Heron team brings its own vacuum, and its manufacturer rates the filtration at 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, the efficiency a HEPA filter is defined by. The dust goes into a self-sealing bag, so fine dust and pet dander are trapped in the bag instead of being blown back into the room. It is the same vacuum on every clean, and there is no charge for it.
