The Best Cleaning Services in Montreal
1. The Montreal Maids
Yes, that’s us, and we’ll be upfront about it. The Montreal Maids is a green cleaning company serving the Island of Montreal, Longueuil and Laval, for homes, condos, apartments and offices. We bring all supplies and eco-friendly products, our team is bonded and fully insured, and we’re pet friendly.
What makes us different: a color-coded cloth system to prevent cross-contamination. Red cloths are used only for toilets and washrooms, yellow for areas with a risk of bacteria, blue for glass and mirrors, and green for living rooms and common areas. A cloth that cleans your toilet never touches your kitchen counter.
Best for: move in / move out cleaning, deep cleaning, post-renovation cleaning and recurring weekly or biweekly visits.

A Local Tip: Book Early Around July 1
In Quebec, most residential leases end on June 30, and July 1 is Moving Day across Montreal. Thousands of apartments change hands in the same few days, so move-out cleaning slots fill up weeks in advance. If you’re moving in late June or early July, book your cleaner as early as possible, ideally in May.
Tips Before You Book a Cleaning Service in Montreal
Ask exactly what “deep clean” includes. Every company defines it differently. Some include inside the oven and fridge, baseboards and window tracks by default, others charge extra. Ask for a written checklist.
Mention your language preference. Many Montreal teams speak French, English or both, but the team can change from one booking to the next. If it matters, say so when you book.
Flag special jobs upfront. Post-renovation and hoarding cleanups need specific equipment and more time. Not every general team is set up for them.
Ask who brings the supplies. Some companies bring everything, others expect you to provide products and a vacuum.
Check insurance. A bonded and insured company protects you if something gets damaged during the clean.
Consider recurring cleaning. Results usually improve once a cleaner knows your home and your priorities.
Compare two or three quotes. Prices and availability change often, especially for bigger jobs like move-outs and post-construction cleans.
