What to know before hiring a cleaner in Vancouver

Cleaning is unlicensed in British Columbia. What protects you is liability insurance and bonding for theft, plus WorkSafeBC coverage for anyone working in your home. If you hire an individual directly rather than a company, you may be treated as their employer for tax and workers’ compensation purposes; ask before assuming otherwise.

Ask for a written checklist of what a standard clean includes and what counts as an add-on, such as inside the oven, windows, or a move-out clean. Consistency comes from sending the same person or team, so ask how the company handles staffing.

Vancouver mixes glass strata towers downtown and along the Cambie and Broadway corridors with early-1900s houses on the east and west sides, so a service call can mean booking a loading bay and a service elevator or working around knob-and-tube wiring and clay drain tile. The wet season from October to March drives most roof, gutter, perimeter-drain and moss problems, and the City of Vancouver publishes its own permit list, which differs from neighbouring municipalities.

Frequently asked questions

Should a house cleaner in Vancouver be insured?

Yes. Liability insurance covers damage and bonding covers theft; a company should provide both on request. A cleaner without them leaves you paying for accidents in your own home.

Do I become an employer if I hire a cleaner directly?

In British Columbia you can, if you set the hours and supply the work regularly, which brings payroll and WorkSafeBC obligations. Hiring through a company avoids that.

What is the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?

A deep clean covers baseboards, inside appliances, grout, light fixtures and other areas a maintenance visit skips. Most companies require one before starting a recurring schedule.

How do I compare cleaning quotes in Vancouver?

Compare the written checklist, the number of cleaner-hours, and the insurance, not just the price. Two quotes for the same home can differ by an hour of work, which explains most price gaps.
