Why now

What spring does to your home

Every Canadian season leaves its own mess. Here is what we see in Ottawa-area homes this time of year.

  • Salt and mud tracked in

    Five months of boots leave a white salt film on floors and grit deep in entry mats and carpets.

  • Pollen season starts

    Maple and birch pollen arrive in April. Dusty baseboards, vents and blinds make allergies worse.

  • Grimy winter windows

    Furnace soot, condensation marks and road spray dull every window just as the light comes back.

  • Stale air from a closed house

    After a winter with the windows shut, dust has settled in ducts, on fans and under furniture.

Local know-how

Tips from our Ottawa crews

  1. 1

    Wait for the last big melt

    In Ottawa the final slush usually clears by early April. Book carpets after that so they stay clean.

  2. 2

    Pair it with duct cleaning

    Clean ducts first, then the house, so dust from the vents doesn’t land on freshly cleaned surfaces.

  3. 3

    Book April early

    April Saturdays fill up first. A weekday slot is often available sooner and costs the same.

Spring cleaning: your questions

When is the best time for spring cleaning in Ottawa?

Mid-April to late May. The last slush is usually gone, so salt and mud stay out once floors and carpets are cleaned. Book two to three weeks ahead for April weekends.

How much does a spring clean cost?

A spring clean is priced like our deep clean and starts at $263 before tax. Your exact price depends on bedrooms, bathrooms and size, and you see it online before you book.

What is included that a regular clean skips?

Baseboards, door frames, vent covers, light switches, inside the oven and fridge, inside cabinets and wall spot cleaning. It resets the whole home after winter.

Can you remove salt stains from hardwood and carpet?

Yes. We use a pH-neutral cleaner on hardwood and tile and hot-water extraction on carpets to dissolve the salt rather than spread it.

Should I book duct cleaning at the same time?

It’s the ideal moment. BlueGuard cleans the ducts first, then our crew cleans the house, and our Clean home + clean air bundle saves you 10% on both.
