Ottawa's cleaning industry ranges from single-location family businesses to national franchises, and figuring out who actually shows up on time and does a thorough job can take hours of scrolling through reviews. We did some of that legwork, reading Google, Birdeye, Trustindex, and company sites to put together this list of ten services that are currently operating and serving Ottawa homes.
1. Done Right Cleaning
Area: Ottawa, Kanata, Vanier, Stittsville, Nepean, Alta Vista, Riverside South, Findlay Creek, Orleans, Westboro, Manotick, Crystal Beach, Greely, Barrhaven, Bells Corners · Specialty: regular and deep house cleaning · Rating: 4.9 on Google (500+ reviews)
Done Right Cleaning stands out for using in-house employees rather than contractors, which the company points to as the reason clients often get the same familiar cleaner on repeat visits. It also carries an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and backs jobs with a 72-hour satisfaction guarantee. This is a solid pick for anyone who wants consistency and a company willing to stand behind its work.
2. UrbanMop
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: residential and commercial cleaning with online booking · Rating: 4.8 on Google (355+ reviews)
UrbanMop leans on a tech-forward booking system, same-day availability, and a satisfaction guarantee that promises a free re-clean if something is missed. Reviewers describe sparkling floors and thoroughly sanitized bathrooms, and the company notes it is a living wage employer with fully insured, background-checked staff. Good for households that want to book and manage cleanings entirely online.
3. Hellamaid
Area: Ottawa, Nepean, Kanata, Barrhaven, Stittsville, Orleans · Specialty: standard, deep, and post-renovation cleaning · Rating: 4.7 on Google (160+ reviews)
Customer reviews on Hellamaid's own site describe teams that clean baseboards and corners without being asked and leave kitchens looking newer than before. The company offers both one-time deep cleans and recurring maintenance plans, which makes it a flexible option whether you need a single post-renovation clean or a biweekly visit.
4. Merry Maids of Ottawa
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: recurring residential cleaning · Rating: 4.5 on Google (230+ reviews)
As the Ottawa branch of a long-running national franchise, Merry Maids brings standardized training and processes to every visit. Reviewers point to professionalism and thoroughness as consistent themes, making it a dependable choice for people who prefer the structure of an established brand over a smaller independent outfit.
5. Enviropure Home Services
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: eco-friendly cleaning and post-renovation cleanup · Rating: 4.5 on Google
Enviropure is BBB-accredited with an A+ rating and has built a niche beyond standard house cleaning, offering hoarding cleanup and counselling support alongside mould remediation and post-renovation cleans. Reviewers consistently mention punctual, friendly teams and fair pricing for the level of service. Worth a look for anyone dealing with a more complicated cleaning situation than a routine tidy-up.
6. GreenApple Home Cleaning
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: eco-friendly residential and office cleaning · Rating: 4.3 on Birdeye (132 reviews)
This family-owned company won a Consumer Choice Award in 2023 and uses non-toxic, certified cleaning products across its residential and commercial jobs. Customers frequently mention responsive, professional service, making GreenApple a reasonable option for households that specifically want chemical-free cleaning without sacrificing thoroughness.
7. Beaver Maids
Area: Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans, Stittsville · Specialty: recurring and deep residential cleaning
Beaver Maids advertises chemical-free products and has built a reputation, per its own published reviews, for catching small details like baseboards and corners that other services skip. It also offers post-construction and pre-sale cleaning, so it can handle jobs beyond a standard weekly visit. We could not independently verify a specific numeric rating, so it's included here on the strength of its published customer testimonials.
8. Mopify
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: online-managed residential cleaning · Since: 2013
Mopify was founded by two people who felt the traditional home cleaning industry was inefficient, and the company still leans on that idea with an online platform for booking, rescheduling, and special requests. Customers highlight cleaners who take initiative without being asked, and one long-time client described using the service for biweekly cleanings for three years running. A solid fit for people who want to manage everything from their phone.
9. Genie The Cleaner
Area: Ottawa, including Barrhaven, Kanata, Westboro, Centretown, Glebe, Orleans, Nepean, Gloucester, Stittsville, Manotick · Specialty: residential, commercial, and Airbnb cleaning
Genie The Cleaner covers most Ottawa neighbourhoods and adds move-in/move-out, post-construction, and junk removal to its list of services. One reviewer specifically praised the team for cleaning window screens and pulling out the fridge and oven during a move-out job, details that are easy to skip. Good for renters and landlords who need a wider range of services than a basic weekly clean.
10. Sparkle Ottawa Cleaning Inc.
Area: Ottawa · Specialty: residential and commercial cleaning, including mattress and upholstery cleaning · Rating: 4.6 on Trustindex (32 reviews)
Sparkle Ottawa is a smaller local operation that also offers senior-focused cleaning services and mattress or upholstery cleaning, services that not every company on this list provides. With a smaller review base than some of the bigger names here, it's a reasonable option for households looking for a more boutique, locally run alternative.
How We Built This List
This list was compiled from public web sources, including each company's own website, Google reviews, Birdeye, Trustindex, and other review aggregators, in August 2026. None of the placements on this list are paid, and ottown has not tested or visited any of these businesses. Ratings and review counts are shown only where we found a specific figure from a source we read directly; where we could not verify a number, we left it out rather than estimate. If you run or work for one of these businesses and see something out of date, let us know.
