House Cleaning in Gastown
Heritage buildings, brick walls, original floors and staircases that were never designed for carrying equipment up. Gastown cleans need more prep and more patience than a tower.
Gastown stock is old. Brick holds dust, original timber floors need care, plumbing is often the original, and many buildings are walk-ups with no lift. Street parking is scarce, so arrival times need to be honest rather than optimistic.
That changes how a clean is approached: less water on old timber, more time on the grout and fittings that have had decades of use, and a plan for carrying supplies up several flights.
What shapes a clean in Gastown
- Walk-ups where everything is carried in by hand — factor that into the start time
- Exposed brick and timber that need dusting rather than washing
- Older bathrooms and kitchens where grout and seals need real time

How cleaning works in Gastown
Original timber floors and exposed brick are the two surfaces that need judgement. Wet-mopping old fir strips the finish, and washing brick can loosen mortar, so both get dusted and damp-wiped instead. If a floor has been refinished recently, tell us so the products match it.
Book online and see the exact price, we review the request, then confirm your date and time by email before the visit. Payment is after the clean.
Questions
Do you charge more for walk-ups?
The price is set by the property configuration you choose, not by the stairs. What stairs affect is how long the visit takes to set up, so tell us the floor number when booking.
Is street parking an issue?
In Gastown it can be. If your building has no loading access, mention it at booking so we plan extra time for finding a spot.
Can you clean original wood floors?
Yes, with a damp rather than wet mop. Tell us the floor type so we bring the right products.
Do you clean exposed brick walls?
Yes, with a dry or barely damp method. Brick and mortar do not cope well with a wet wash, so it is treated as a dusting job rather than a scrubbing one.
Can you clean after a renovation?
Yes. Post-renovation dust is finer and settles on vertical surfaces, so it is booked as a deep clean rather than a standard visit.
