How Our Maid Service Works

1. Tell us about your home: Share your home details — size, number of rooms, any pets, and your priorities. You can do this online or by phone. 2. Choose your schedule: Weekly, biweekly, monthly, or one-time. Pick the day and time window that works for you. 3. We match you with a housekeeper: We assign a cleaning professional who fits your home's needs and schedule. We aim to send the same person each time for consistency. 4. We clean: Your housekeeper arrives on time with all products and equipment. They follow your custom checklist and leave your home spotless. 5. You review: After each visit, let us know how we did. If anything needs attention, we come back and fix it — free of charge.

Our Housekeepers

The quality of a maid service depends entirely on the quality of the people doing the work. That's why we invest heavily in hiring, training, and retaining excellent housekeepers. Every member of our team is:

• Background-checked: We run comprehensive background checks before anyone joins our team. Your safety and trust are non-negotiable.
• Insured: Full liability insurance covers your property and belongings during every visit.
• Professionally trained: Each housekeeper completes our training program covering cleaning techniques, product safety, time management, and customer service.
• Experienced: Many of our team members have years of professional housekeeping experience.
• Consistent: We assign the same housekeeper to your home whenever possible. They learn your layout, your preferences, and your routine — delivering better results over time.

We treat our housekeepers with respect, pay fair wages, and provide a supportive work environment. Happy team members deliver better work. It's that simple.

Products and Equipment

We bring everything needed for a thorough cleaning:

• Eco-friendly cleaning solutions: Biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for kids, pets, and people with sensitivities
• Professional vacuum cleaners: HEPA-filtered to capture allergens and fine particles
• Microfiber cloths and mops: Superior dust and bacteria capture
• Color-coded cleaning cloths: Separate cloths for kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas to prevent cross-contamination
• All necessary tools: Scrub brushes, squeegees, dusters, and more

You don't need to provide anything. If you have a preferred product or a specific request (fragrance-free, a particular brand), let us know and we'll accommodate.

Pricing Context

Our maid service rates depend on:

• Home size: Number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and total square footage
• Frequency: Weekly visits cost less per session than monthly visits. Recurring clients receive the best rates.
• Condition: A home that's regularly cleaned requires less time than one that hasn't been professionally cleaned in a while
• Add-ons: Extra services like interior windows, inside appliances, or laundry are priced separately
• Location: Proximity to our service hubs in Montreal

We provide transparent pricing before your first visit. No hidden fees. No surprise charges.

Who Uses Our Maid Service?

Our maid service is for anyone who wants a clean home without doing the work themselves:

• Busy professionals: Long work hours leave little time or energy for housework. A weekly or biweekly maid service keeps your home in order without sacrificing your evenings and weekends.
• Parents and families: Kids, meals, activities, and everything in between create a constant cleaning challenge. Our housekeepers maintain your home so you can spend time with your family instead of cleaning up after them.
• Seniors: Housework becomes harder with age. Our maid service provides safe, reliable help that keeps your home comfortable and healthy.
• People recovering from injury or illness: When physical activity is limited, a maid service ensures your home stays clean during your recovery.
• Couples and roommates: Split the cleaning responsibility evenly by outsourcing it entirely.
• Pet owners: Fur, dander, muddy paw prints, and pet-related messes require more frequent cleaning. Our team handles it.
• Anyone who values their time: There's no judgment in choosing to spend your free time on hobbies, relaxation, family, or anything other than cleaning.

Montreal-Specific Tips

• Winter boot areas: Montreal winters mean boots, salt, and slush at every door. We pay attention to entryway cleaning and floor protection during winter months.
• Allergy season: Spring in Montreal brings aggressive pollen from trees (especially birch and maple). More frequent dusting and vacuuming during April and May helps significantly.
• Old Montreal homes: Many homes in Montreal — especially triplexes, duplexes, and older walk-ups — have unique layouts with steep stairs, radiator heating, and narrow hallways. Our housekeepers are experienced with Montreal's distinctive housing stock.
• Condo living: If you live in a condo with specific service provider rules (elevator booking, noise hours, visitor parking), let us know your building's requirements.
• Pet-friendly city: Montreal is a pet-loving city. We're experienced cleaning homes with dogs, cats, and other animals. Just let us know about your pets when booking.

Scheduling Flexibility

• Weekly: Our best rate. Keeps your home consistently clean with minimal effort.
• Biweekly: Our most popular schedule. Great balance between clean home and budget.
• Monthly: Good for smaller homes or people who do some cleaning themselves between visits.
• One-time: Perfect for a pre-event clean, a post-party cleanup, or when you just need a reset.

You can change your schedule, skip visits, or add extra visits at any time with reasonable notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between a maid service and a home cleaning service?

Functionally, they're the same thing. "Maid service" is a traditional term for recurring housekeeping — regular visits by a professional cleaner who maintains your home. Our maid service includes everything our standard home cleaning covers, with the added emphasis on consistency and personalization that comes with having a dedicated housekeeper.

Q: Will I have the same housekeeper each time?

We make every effort to assign the same housekeeper to your home. Consistency is a core part of our service — your housekeeper learns your home, your preferences, and your routine. If your regular housekeeper is unavailable (vacation, illness), we send a trained replacement who follows the same checklist.

Q: Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

No. Many clients provide a key, door code, or lockbox access. We can clean while you're at work or out. If you prefer to be home, that's fine too.

Q: How do I communicate special requests?

You can add notes to any booking, message us directly, or leave written instructions for your housekeeper. We're flexible and responsive to your needs.

Q: Is there a contract or commitment?

No long-term contracts. Our maid service operates on a visit-by-visit basis. Recurring clients benefit from lower rates and priority scheduling, but you can pause, adjust, or cancel at any time with notice.

Q: What areas do you NOT clean?

We don't clean exterior areas (yards, driveways, exterior windows above ground level), handle hazardous materials, provide pest control, or do heavy lifting/moving. For specialized services, we can recommend trusted partners.

Q: Can I tip my housekeeper?

Tips are never required but always appreciated. You can tip in cash, add it to your payment, or let us know and we'll pass it along.

Q: What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice. Late cancellations may incur a small fee since we've already reserved time for your visit.
