Frequently Asked Questions

**How much does it cost to have someone clean my house in Winnipeg?** The quote depends on home size, condition, which rooms need attention, how often you want service, and access. We provide free, no-obligation quotes — describe the job or send photos and we follow up with an accurate figure. Call (888) 906-0022. **What will a cleaner do in 3 hours?** In three hours a professional cleaner typically covers a one- or two-bedroom home: floors vacuumed and mopped, bathrooms cleaned, kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors wiped, and accessible surfaces dusted. Scope varies by size and condition. **Do you clean your house before the cleaner comes?** You don't need to clean, but decluttering helps. Clear flat surfaces, pick up items from the floor, and secure valuables. The more accessible a surface is, the more thoroughly it can be cleaned. Our [preparation guide](/guides/how-to-prepare-for-house-cleaning/) covers this in detail.

**What is typically included in a deep clean?** A deep clean covers everything in a standard clean plus tasks skipped in regular visits: interior appliances (oven, fridge), inside cupboards, grout, baseboards, light fixtures, window sills, and hard-to-reach areas. It takes more time than a maintenance clean. Learn more about [deep cleaning in Winnipeg](/house-cleaning/deep-cleaning/). **Is it worth paying for a deep clean?** For a home that hasn't been thoroughly cleaned in months, or after moving, renovation, or winter, a deep clean is worth it. It resets the baseline and makes ongoing maintenance much more manageable. **How much cleaning to do when moving out?** Manitoba tenancy law requires tenants to leave a unit in a reasonably clean condition: clean oven and fridge, scrubbed bathrooms, mopped floors, wiped surfaces, and no belongings left behind. See [move-out cleaning](/house-cleaning/move-out-cleaning/) and our [Manitoba checklist](/guides/move-out-cleaning-checklist-manitoba/).

**Is professional carpet cleaning worth it?** Yes, particularly after a Winnipeg winter when road salt and sand work into carpet fibres. Professional hot-water extraction removes embedded particles that household vacuums cannot reach, extending carpet life and improving air quality. See [carpet cleaning in Winnipeg](/carpet-cleaning/). **How long do you have to stay off carpets after they are cleaned?** Carpets cleaned by hot-water extraction are typically dry enough to walk on within two to four hours in normal conditions. Full drying may take longer in cold or humid weather — good ventilation speeds the process. Avoid replacing heavy furniture until the carpet is completely dry.

**What is included in commercial cleaning?** Commercial cleaning covers vacuuming and mopping floors, wiping surfaces and desks, cleaning washrooms, emptying bins, and maintaining kitchen or lunch areas. Scope is agreed before the contract starts. See [commercial cleaning in Winnipeg](/commercial-cleaning/). **What's the difference between commercial and residential cleaning?** Commercial cleaning serves offices, retail, and business facilities — typically on a contract schedule, often after hours. Residential cleaning focuses on homes. Equipment and products may differ; commercial work prioritises speed and consistency across larger floor areas. **What's the difference between cleaning and janitorial services?** Cleaning is typically one-time or periodic. Janitorial service is an ongoing contract covering consistent, scheduled visits — often daily or weekly. See [janitorial services in Winnipeg](/commercial-cleaning/janitorial-services/).

**How do I get a quote?** Describe the job — home or office size, rooms needed, current condition — or send photos. We follow up by phone or text with a no-obligation quote. Call (888) 906-0022, email [email protected], or use the [contact form](/contact/). **What is the 20-minute rule in cleaning?** The 20-minute rule is a maintenance strategy: spend 20 focused minutes each day on a specific cleaning task. It keeps spaces tidy between professional visits.
