What needs cleaning?
Why we ask: So we send the right crew with the right checklist - a move-out is twice the work of a standard clean.

Ottawa Cleaning Co. provides professional house cleaning throughout Stittsville, Ottawa.
Stittsville has 17,426 households and, unusually for a suburb this far west, a published tenure figure: 15.3% are tenant-occupied overall, but 30.2% of townhomes are rented, against an Ottawa-wide 72.5% owner and 19.4% tenant split. That one number explains why so much of our Stittsville calendar is handover dates rather than fortnightly slots.
Move-out and end-of-tenancy cleaning in Stittsville's townhouse subdivisions
A rented townhouse changes hands more often than the detached house next to it, and the clean it needs at the end is not the clean it got during the tenancy. We work to the walk-through: appliance interiors, cabinet and closet interiors, baseboards, window tracks and bathroom grout, all done in one visit before the keys go back.
Why townhouse turnover is different from a detached-home clean
Townhouses run vertically, so the floor area that looks small on paper comes with stairs, landings and two or three bathrooms stacked above each other. There is proportionally more edge, more trim and more stair carpet than in a bungalow of the same size, and a turnover clean that prices by bedrooms alone will always run short.
- Stair treads, risers, spindles and handrails
- Two or three full bathrooms rather than one and a half
- Basement entry and garage-door threshold
- Landing baseboards and stairwell walls
Recurring cleaning in Jackson Trails, Blackstone and Poole Creek
Stittsville's subdivisions were marketed from a spread of dates - Amberwood Village from 1979, Jackson Trails from 2009, Blackstone and Poole Creek Village from 2014, Upcountry from 2018 - so a street's age is a fair guide to what a first visit will take. Newer streets usually need one reset clean; Amberwood-era homes usually need a deep clean first.
Main Street and the older village core
Stittsville was founded in 1854, largely destroyed in the Carleton County Fire of 1870, and rebuilt along the rail line. A handful of pre-1900 buildings survive - Kemp's Tavern of 1868, Green's or Pacific Hotel of 1890 and the Bradley-Craig barn of 1873 - and the older core around Main Street holds houses that want the gentler methods old plaster and original woodwork deserve.
Commercial cleaning along the Carp Road corridor
The Carp Road Corridor next to Stittsville covers over 700 acres of light industry with 300-plus businesses and more than 3,000 employees. We clean offices, showrooms, staff kitchens and washrooms there after hours, nightly or weekly, with a service log each visit.

Booking a cleaner in Stittsville
For a move-out, book as soon as you have the handover date - the day before is ideal, so nothing gets tracked back in. For recurring service, tell us the subdivision and the floor area and we will quote a flat rate for a visit every two or four weeks with the same cleaner.
FAQs
Stittsville tenancy and scheduling questions
Don't see your question? Text or call us - we usually reply in under an hour.
- Do you do end-of-lease cleans for townhouse rentals?
- Yes, and they are a large share of our Stittsville work - 30.2% of townhomes here are rented. We clean to the walk-through: appliance and cabinet interiors, baseboards, window tracks and bathroom grout, finished in one visit.
- What does the RTA actually require a tenant to clean?
- Section 33 of the Residential Tenancies Act requires the tenant to keep the unit in a state of ordinary cleanliness - that is the legal standard, and it applies whatever a lease clause says about professional cleaning. A landlord seeking cleaning costs has to apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board.
- Do you serve businesses on Carp Road?
- Yes. The Carp Road Corridor has over 300 businesses across more than 700 acres and we clean offices, showrooms and washrooms there after hours on a nightly or weekly rota.
- How far in advance should I book for a move-out date?
- A week is comfortable, two is safer at month-end when most leases turn over. Give us the handover date and we will schedule the day before it so the unit is not lived in again between the clean and the inspection.
