Finding the Best Cleaning Service Toronto

Three main factors play a large role for people choosing the best cleaning services: prices, reviews, and the scope of work being offered. However, there are several other aspects that need to be taken into account.

1. Website speaks a thousand words about a business. Does the website provide you with all necessary information you need? Is the information readily available and simple to access? Does the website look professional ? Is there a hassle-free and simple online booking process? Is the contact information readily available? All these things need to be taken into account, because they reflect general conduct of the business.
2. Credibility. Is the company you are looking at hiring credible and reliable? This is a primary reason why people who are looking at hiring a cleaning service often either ask friends/acquaintances for references, or look for recommendations online. If someone has used a service and can vouch for them personally, you know you’ll be in good hands.
3. Transparency. Not only the services you will hire will be transparent about their pricing by listing it on their website, but the website should also include a checklist of cleaning procedures for your home or your business. By checking the list, you can determine if the scope of work the services offer covers all your needs.
4. Insurance. Every reputable and responsible business will be insured. Accidents happen, and if there are damages in your home, you need to be protected. Always ask whether the business is insured before hiring a Toronto cleaning service.
5. Products. While this may not be as obvious, but it is important to check that the cleaning service you are hiring is using non-toxic products. This is especially important if you have children or pets in your home. If you prefer all Green products to be used in your home or your business, check the website for information regarding this option.
6. Tools. Some but not all companies will offer to bring their own tools (as well as supplies) to the job site. Things such as buckets, mops and vacuum cleaners may or may not be readily available. If you require post-construction or post-renovation cleaning, you will need to check if the service has an industrial vacuum available to bring with them to the job site. Perhaps you will want green cleaning supplies?
7. References. Usually a reputable business or a real estate agent is a good reference to check. The third party should be independent and not hold any interest in the business you are inquiring about.

Finding the Best Cleaning Services in Toronto: Step-by-Step Flow

Step 1. Whether you are just using search engine to find the right cleaning business for you, or someone has recommended one, your number one step is checking the company’s website.

Step 2. Once you’ve found all the information you need online, call the business. If you are hiring a cleaning service for the first time, it is best to verify all the information you need over the phone.

Step 3. If you are uncertain about the amount of time you will need to hire the cleaning service for, ask for a walk-through for a quote/estimate.

Step 4. After verifying the prices and choosing the right date and time for the services, make sure to mention all your special needs/requests in advance. It is important to give detailed instructions as per your expectations.

Step 5. While making a booking, make sure you receive a booking confirmation with your stated date and time.

Step 6. Ensure access to your property. If no-one is at the premises to let our Toronto cleaners in, make sure to leave a lockbox, access codes and/or alarm codes for the cleaners.

Step 7. After the cleaning is finished, take a walk-through to ensure everything has been thoroughly cleaned.

Step 8. Don’t forget to leave a review to tell others about your experience.

Reasons For Hiring A Professional Apartment Cleaning Service

If you found several prospects for hiring a local apartment, condo, house or commercial cleaning service in Toronto or GTA, and found all aspects that are important to you comparable, how do you choose one? Your best bet is to weigh out of all pros and cons. Are the business’ hours flexible to suit your schedule? Is booking readily available and simple? If you’re not happy with the service, will the cleaning business offer another cleaning session or a refund?

Number one reason for hiring a professional cleaning service is your good experience with them. The priority lies not only in how well the job is done, but how your overall experience has been. If you are hiring for the first time, evaluate how your experience has been in browsing their website or speaking with their representative.

Another valuable reason to consider is whether the ethical conduct of the business lines up with yours. For example, Master Maid supports Ukrainian refugees. Many of our staff members are newcomers who escaped the hardships of the war. While starting their opportunities in Canada, Master Maid gladly provides them with work opportunities with warm and caring attitude.

How to check that everything is cleaned

When all is said and done, it is important that you are left satisfied with the cleaning job that was done and the overall experience. A clean space is the number one goal of going through the entire process. So how do you check that everything was thoroughly cleaned?

First thing’s first, take a look at the cleaning checklist provided to you prior to the service booking, and double check that all items were completed. Has the garbage been taken out ? Have the floors been thoroughly mopped and cleaned? Are windows and glass spotless ? And does the place look and feel clean and fresh?

Secondly, an easy way to check surfaces for dust and grime leftovers, is to wet a paper towel and run it on the surface. If the paper towel is clean and white, Toronto cleaners have done their job.

While checking if the floors were cleaned throughly, check hard to reach surfaces. It is unlikely that the cleaners will lift or move furniture, but checking under the cabinets, tables and sofas will tell you if the cleaners were thorough.

Finally, make sure to check all areas, such as kitchen, living room, bedrooms and bathrooms to make sure all areas were attended to and properly cleaned.
