The cleaning year in Canada, month by month

We counted every job our crews completed — 5,684 cleans of ten kinds, from house cleaning to pressure washing — and averaged them by calendar month. We only used complete months, so a month that appears in three years of records does not outweigh one that appears in two.

Average completed jobs per calendar month, all services

The pattern is clear: demand climbs from a February low to a peak in July and August, when leases turn over, families move before school starts and homes are sold. On average August is 2.1 times as busy as February. Demand then stays above the spring level through September, October and November before easing in December.

Peak and quiet months for each cleaning service

Service	Jobs	Busiest months	Quietest months
Move-in / move-out cleaning	2,523	August, July	February, January
Deep cleaning	1,521	August, July	February, April
Oven & appliance cleaning	670	April, November	June, January
Post-renovation cleaning	255	November, May	February, January
House cleaning (hourly)	217	August, March	November, June
Carpet & upholstery cleaning	209	August, November	January, March
Pre-sale cleaning	135	September, May	February, January
Hoarder cleaning	79	April, December	October, November
Pressure washing	41	June, August	January, February

Most services follow the summer moving season, but not all of them. Pressure washing peaks in June, as soon as the weather is reliably warm, and stops almost entirely in winter. Pre-sale cleaning peaks in September, in step with the fall housing market. Carpet cleaning is highest in August, when warm, dry air helps carpets dry fast.

Completed jobs by day of the week (5,684 jobs)

Friday is the busiest day — people want the home clean before the weekend, or need the unit empty and spotless before a Saturday handover. Weekends are only 23% of jobs, and Sunday is the quietest day of all. For the widest choice of times, book a Tuesday or Wednesday.

The month-end crunch

For move-out cleaning, the date matters more than the month. 45% of our move-out cleans happen between the 25th and the 1st, against 27% of deep cleans. If you are moving out, the last few days of the month are the hardest to get — especially in July and August.

Tip: landlords and property managers usually accept a clean done a day or two before the keys are returned. A clean on the 25th to the 27th is far easier to book than one in the last few days of the month, and it leaves time for our free 48-hour re-clean if your landlord asks for anything.

Does cleaning cost more in summer?

No — and the data shows it. We work from a fixed price list, so there is no surge pricing. Here is the median two-bedroom move-out clean by season:

Season	2-bedroom median	Jobs
Winter	$438	102
Spring	$450	105
Summer	$403	250
Fall	$415	143

The lowest median was in summer ($403) and the highest in spring ($450). The gap reflects the homes and add-ons in each season, not different rates. What summer costs you is choice: fewer free time slots, especially at month-end.

Ontario	3,492	August	22%
British Columbia	1,079	August	22%
Alberta	788	August	23%
Saskatchewan	151	May	17%

*Based on average jobs per calendar month, so months covered by more years of records do not count twice.

The summer peak is national, but its size varies. Each province has its own guide with prices by home size and the top cities — open the province above to see it.

Your cleaning booking calendar

Moving outBook 2–3 weeks ahead for a month-end date from June to September. Ask for the 25th–27th rather than the last days of the month.

Spring cleaningMarch and April are quieter than the summer, so a deep clean is easy to book and done before the moving rush.

Selling your homeBook the pre-sale clean before the listing photos — September is our busiest month for them, followed by May.

CarpetsLate summer and early fall dry fastest. In winter, book after the worst of the salt season.

Pressure washingMay to August. Book early in the season — the window is short.

Regular cleaningPick a mid-week slot; Tuesday and Wednesday have the most availability year-round.

Disappointing move-in deep clean — would not recommend. Paid nearly $400, including tip, for a move-in clean with additional appliance-cleaning services. Unfortunately, the results were nowhere near the standard I expected from professional cleaners. Here are just a few examples (photos and video attached): * Washing machine: Paid extra for cleaning that specifically included scrubbing the rubber gasket. During the walkthrough, I pointed out discoloration under the seal and was told it couldn’t be removed. I accepted that explanation, only to later discover significant dirt and buildup behind another fold of the gasket that hadn’t been addressed. * Dishwasher: Paid extra for cleaning that explicitly included removing and cleaning the filter. When I asked the cleaners if they’d done this, they said no. I checked afterward and found considerable grime and debris. * Kitchen cabinets: Found visible residue that came off easily with just water and a cloth. I recorded a video showing this. * Air vents: Significant dust remained in the accessible grille openings. When I pointed it out, I was told they couldn’t clean it because their fingers couldn’t reach. * Bathroom, microwave and oven: Soap scum, food residue and grease remained, even after I asked for certain areas to be cleaned again. To their credit, the floors were cleaned well, and I appreciated the effort put into removing some stubborn adhesive. However, effort doesn’t replace results, especially when specific services outlined in the quote weren’t completed. I found myself repeatedly pointing out missed areas during the walkthrough. Eventually, I stopped because the repeated attempts weren’t improving the results, and I had movers and other responsibilities to coordinate. I hired professionals specifically so I wouldn’t have to supervise or redo the cleaning myself. When I raised these concerns with customer service, the initial response acknowledged the shortcomings. However, subsequent responses focused on the five hours the cleaners spent working and the fact that I had approved areas during the walkthrough. The company ultimately offered a $40 refund. My issue was never how long they worked. It was the quality of the cleaning and whether the services I paid for were actually completed. For nearly $400, I expected a thorough move-in clean, appropriate equipment, and attention to detail. Instead, I’m having to clean areas myself and question what else may have been overlooked. The photos and video speak for themselves. I would not book again.

I received carpet cleaning and was not as advertised. the carpet-cleaning service I received from AnyClean on October 31 was unsatisfactory. I hired Anyclean company expecting a professional carpet-cleaning service using appropriate commercial carpet-cleaning equipment. Unfortunately, that is not what I received. The cleaner: - Used my personal vacuum cleaner. - Used a Bissell spot-cleaning machine. - Used a household Hoover upright carpet cleaner rather than commercial or industrial carpet-cleaning equipment. - Added Pine-Sol to the cleaning process. I was extremely disappointed by the equipment and cleaning methods used. This was not the professional carpet-cleaning service I expected when I hired AnyClean. The results were unsatisfactory, and I now have to rent a proper carpet-cleaning machine and redo the work myself. I have therefore paid for a service that has not met my expectations and have lost both money and valuable time. Had I known that household equipment and these cleaning methods would be used, I would never have booked this company. I am requesting a full refund of the amount paid. I would appreciate a written response within five business days explaining how you intend to resolve this matter. I hope AnyClean will take responsibility for this experience and resolve it fairly without requiring me to pursue further action.

We were pleased with the move out cleaning and the team was thorough, efficient, and took the time to walk us through everything once the job was completed
