Special & Occasion Cleaning in Ottawa & area

Some cleans are not about routine. They are about a moment: handing back the keys, moving into a new place, finishing a renovation, turning over a rental between guests, getting a house ready for listing photos or dealing with the morning after a party. These jobs have deadlines, standards set by someone else and very little room for error. That is what our Special & Occasion Cleaning services are designed for.

Every one of these services is delivered by the same insured, background-checked BlueGuard crews that clean homes week to week, backed by a company that has been NADCA-certified for duct cleaning since 2020. You get a fixed, transparent starting price, a checklist built for the occasion and a team that understands the deadline you are working against.

Move-in and move-out cleaning

Moving is stressful enough without arguing over a security deposit or walking into someone else’s dirt. A move clean is built for empty homes: we clean inside every cabinet and drawer, inside the oven and fridge, spot clean walls, wipe vents, baseboards and door frames, and leave bathrooms and the kitchen ready for inspection. Tenants, landlords and realtors across Ottawa, Durham and Montréal use it for lease-end inspections and key hand-overs. Move cleans start from $343 before tax for a studio and are priced instantly online by size.

Post-construction and post-renovation cleaning

Renovation dust is fine, heavy and everywhere, including inside cabinets, on top of door frames and inside vents. Our post-construction clean removes drywall dust, adhesive residue, paint specks and debris left after the trades leave, so the new space is actually usable. It is priced at $0.35 per sq ft with a $399 minimum, and we confirm the exact price from site photos or a quick visit, because every renovation is different. Ask about BlueGuard duct cleaning afterward: renovation dust inside ductwork keeps circulating for months.

Airbnb and short-term rental turnovers

Hosts are judged on cleanliness in every single review. Our turnover service resets the unit between guests: full clean, linen change, bed making, restocking of the essentials you provide and a quick check for damage or missing items. Flat prices make budgeting simple: $119 for a studio or one bedroom, $149 for two bedrooms and $189 for three, with laundry available as an extra.

Pre-sale and staging cleaning

Buyers notice grime long before they notice upgrades, and listing photos show every streak. Our pre-sale clean is a deep clean plus extra attention to the details that photograph badly: glass, fixtures, baseboards, light switches and floors. Realtors in Ottawa and Durham use it before photos and open houses.

Before and after event cleaning

Hosting a birthday, a family gathering, a holiday dinner or a graduation party? We can prepare the home before guests arrive and reset it afterward, so you can enjoy the event instead of planning the cleanup. Event cleaning starts from $249.

Why book a specialist for occasions

Occasion cleans are judged by someone else: a landlord, a buyer, a guest, a building inspector. Our checklists are built around what those people actually look for. Supplies and equipment are included, crews arrive in a two-hour window you choose, and you pay only after the job is complete. If anything on the checklist was missed, report it within 24 hours and we come back to fix it at no cost.

Large or complex jobs such as big post-construction projects or homes over 3,500 sq ft get a free custom quote, with photo upload so you do not have to wait for a visit to get a number.

Planning tips

Book early in peak moving months. In Ottawa, Montréal and Durham, the end of the month and especially the July 1 moving period in Quebec fill up fast. Book at least a few days ahead, or add the rush option for same-day or next-day service when availability allows.

Make sure utilities are on. Move and post-construction cleans need running water and electricity.

Tell us about access. Lockbox codes, concierge instructions and parking details save time and help avoid the $50 lock-out fee.

Bundle with duct cleaning. A move clean is the perfect time to clean the ducts too, before your furniture and family move in. Book both and get 10% off each.
