Ottawa Pre-Sale Cleaning
Selling in Ottawa? Professional pre sale cleaning Ottawa — 7 homes prepared for listing since March 2025. House cleaning before selling and real estate cleaning, room by room, at fixed prices.
Pre-sale cleaning in Ottawa: what to expect
Since March 2025 our crews have prepared 7 homes for sale in Ottawa, cleaning 21 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and 6 kitchens; 100% of them had appliances cleaned inside and out.
Buyers judge a home in the first minute of a showing and in the first photo online. Our pre sale cleaners work top-down — light fixtures, ledges, cupboards inside and out, kitchens degreased, bathrooms descaled, glass and stainless streak-free — and finish the entry last, so the home is ready for photos, showings and the final walk-through.
We cover all of Ottawa. The pre sale cleaning cost is built room by room from fixed prices — see the table below, with payment before or after service.

Pre-Sale House Cleaning in Ottawa: questions
How much does pre-sale cleaning cost in Ottawa?
The typical total here has been $505, add-ons included. It is priced room by room: bedrooms $50, bathrooms $55 (powder rooms $35), kitchens $65, living areas $50, inside the oven $35 and fridge $45, all interior windows $30, finished basements $70.
When should I book the clean?
About a week before listing photos, once you have decluttered and any repairs or painting are done. Many sellers add a quick touch-up before the first open house.
Can you work with my real estate agent or stager?
Yes. We can schedule around the photo date, follow the stager’s priorities and arrange access by lockbox; your agent can book on your behalf.
What is included that a regular clean misses?
Inside cupboards, closets and appliances buyers open, baseboards, light fixtures, window tracks and glass, and a streak-free finish on stainless, mirrors and fixtures for photos.
Do I need to empty the house first?
No — we clean around furniture and staging. Clear counters and personal items first so surfaces can be cleaned and photographed.
Do you clean after I move out, before closing?
Yes — book a move-out clean for the final walk-through; many sellers book both.
How do I pay?
Payment can be made before the service or after the work is completed, depending on your preferred payment option.
