House Cleaning Services: How CleaningPal Actually Works
Share
What CleaningPal Actually Is
CleaningPal is a Canadian-owned marketplace based in the Niagara Region, connecting homeowners directly with independent house cleaners. It isn't a cleaning company with staff on payroll, it's the platform that lets you browse, compare, and book real cleaners directly.
How Booking Works
You browse, you select, you book. That's genuinely the whole process:
- Browse cleaner profiles for your city
- Compare bios, experience, and hourly rates
- Pick the cleaner who fits what you need
- Book directly online, no quote requests, no long intake form
- No subscription fees
What House Cleaners on CleaningPal Actually Cost
Rates currently range from roughly $28 to $57 per hour, set individually by each cleaner. A few things explain that spread. More experienced cleaners, or those with specialized skills like move-in/move-out work or short-term rental turnovers, often price higher. Cleaners who bring their own supplies also tend to price differently than those who use what's already in your home. Service area and travel time play a role too. Whatever the number, it's listed directly on the cleaner's profile before you book, not revealed afterward.
Why Every Cleaner Is Background-Checked First
Every cleaner on CleaningPal is personally interviewed and background-checked before their profile goes live. That vetting happens before they're ever listed, not something you have to take on faith after you've already booked someone.
Where the Money Actually Goes
CleaningPal doesn't take a cut of a cleaner's hourly rate, and cleaners keep 100 percent of any tip. The person doing the work gets what they set out to earn. CleaningPal is built with livable wages in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between CleaningPal and a traditional cleaning company? CleaningPal is a marketplace, not a company. Cleaners are independent contractors who set their own rates and hours, and you choose exactly who you're booking rather than being assigned someone.
How many cleaners are available on CleaningPal? The roster changes as new cleaners join. Filtering by your city shows exactly who's currently available in your area.
Does the hourly rate include supplies? It depends on the cleaner. Some bring their own supplies as part of their rate, others use what's already in your home. Check the specific cleaner's profile to see which applies.
Do I need to request a quote before I can see a price? No. Every cleaner's hourly rate is listed directly on their profile. There's no quote request or waiting period involved.
