About our service

Who we are, what we clean, and where we work.

Cleaning Routine is a premium house cleaning company serving Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and Halton Hills in Ontario. Every home gets the same assigned, background checked professional on a flat rate confirmed in writing, backed by a 24 hour re-clean guarantee. The name is the promise: not a one-off clean, but a routine your home can rely on.
Five services, each with its own checklist and page: recurring cleaning on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly rhythm, deep cleaning for a full reset, move in and move out cleaning for empty homes, maid service with housekeeping touches, and cleaning for seniors with longer, unhurried visits. Not sure which fits? The services page matches your situation to the right one.
Yes, everything: professional products, cloths, mops, and vacuum, all included in your flat rate. If you prefer we use your own products, because of allergies, a favourite brand, or specialty surfaces like marble or hardwood, just leave them out and note it in your home profile. We follow your lead in your own home.
Fully. Every professional who enters your home is covered by liability insurance, and every one of them has passed a background check and a paid working interview before ever cleaning for a client. In the rare event something is damaged, you tell us, we make it right, and insurance exists for the rest. No homeowner should ever absorb the risk of the people they hire.
All of Halton: Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and Halton Hills, including Georgetown, Acton, and the rural properties between them. Same flat rates everywhere, no travel fees. The service areas page has the full coverage map.
No. We clean homes, and only homes, because doing one thing to a high standard beats doing two things adequately. Condos, townhomes, detached houses, in-law suites, and rural properties are all us; storefronts and offices are not.

Pricing and booking

What it costs, how to book, and when you pay.

For a typical 2 to 3 bedroom home in Halton, expect roughly $199 to $449 per visit depending on the service: recurring visits at the low end, one-time deep and move cleans at the high end. Every price is a flat rate set by your bedroom and bathroom count, with supplies included. The full starting-rate tables are on our pricing page, and your exact number takes about a minute at our booking page.
Two ways, both fast. Online: tell us about your home at our booking page, get your written flat rate, and pick your day. By phone: call (416) 555-5555 and we set it up together. Either way there is no obligation until you confirm the price, and no sales call chasing you afterward.
No. Bedroom and bathroom count tells us what we need, so your flat rate is set online or over the phone, no walkthrough appointment, no stranger touring your home to produce a number. The one exception we flag ahead of time: a home that has gone a while without professional care may need deep clean treatment on the first visit, and we tell you that before we quote, never after we arrive.
After the clean, never before. A card on file is charged once the visit is complete, with your receipt by email the same day. No deposits for standard visits, no cash at the door, and nothing charged if a visit does not happen.
Yes, and they are the best rates we offer: 20 percent off weekly visits, 15 percent off bi-weekly, and 10 percent off monthly, from your second visit onward, with no contract required to earn them. A regularly cared-for home takes less work per visit, and the discount simply passes that back.
Tipping is never expected or required. Our professionals are paid fairly for every visit, which is a large part of why the same person keeps coming back to your home. If you want to tip anyway, it is welcome and goes entirely to your professional, and a kind Google review does just as much for her.

Your professional, and trusting us in your home

The questions that matter most, answered without hedging.

One assigned professional who has passed a background check, reference checks, and a paid working interview in a real home before ever cleaning for a client. Most applicants do not make it through. You learn her name before the first visit, and she learns your home: the about page walks through exactly how we hire.
Yes. The same professional is assigned to your home and stays, visit after visit, which is why the work keeps getting better: she knows which tap drips, which rug slides, which room matters most to you. If she is ever sick or away, we call before the visit and offer a briefed covering professional or a reschedule, your choice. An unexpected stranger at your door is never acceptable.
No, and most clients are not. Work, school runs, the gym, life carries on while your home is cleaned. You get a text when your professional is on the way and another when she is done, often with photos. Home or away, the checklist and the standard are identical.
However you prefer: a lockbox, a garage or door code, a concierge, or a key you give us. A key is stored securely and coded, never labelled with your name or address, so it is meaningless to anyone but us. Codes live in your home profile, visible only to your assigned professional, and we confirm entry details before every first visit.
Pets are family, and our professionals clean around them happily every day. Tell us their names and habits in your home profile: whether the cat bolts for open doors, where the dog prefers to supervise from. If your pet is anxious around strangers or the vacuum, a closed door or a crate for the visit works perfectly. We always leave gates and doors exactly as we found them.
You tell us, and we fix it, in that order and quickly. Something missed: let us know within 24 hours and we return to re-clean it at no charge, no debate. Something damaged: your professional reports it to us before you even have to ask, we make it right, and liability insurance covers the rest. The standard is simple: your home leaves every visit better than we found it, or we come back.

Scheduling and policies

Life moves. The routine moves with it.

One text or call with 24 hours notice, no fee, no questions. Sick kid, surprise guests, a meeting that moved: it happens, and we rebook you for the next slot that works. Inside 24 hours we ask that you reach us as early as you can, because your professional has planned her day around your home.
Never. There are no contracts, no minimum commitments, and no cancellation fees, even on recurring plans, and the recurring discounts apply anyway. We would rather earn your next visit than own it. Pause for a renovation or a long trip, come back when you are ready, and your same professional and home profile pick up where they left off.
No, and please do not clean for the cleaner. A quick tidy helps us spend your visit on actual cleaning rather than picking up toys and papers, but it is never required, and no home is too messy to start. Our professionals have seen everything, judge nothing, and the homes that feel most embarrassing are exactly the ones that feel best a few hours later.
You book an arrival window, and you get a text when she is on the way, so there is no morning held hostage waiting for a doorbell. Visits before an event or a listing photo shoot are scheduled backward from your deadline, and we treat that deadline as fixed.
Weekends, yes, at the same rates, with no weekend surcharge. Statutory holidays we generally keep free so our professionals are home with their families, and we will offer you the nearest alternative day. Around busy stretches like December, book early: the calendar fills weeks ahead.
A Ontario winter does its best, and we clean through almost all of it. On the rare day a storm makes roads genuinely unsafe, we contact you as early as possible and rebook you first, before any new bookings. No visit is silently skipped: if we are not coming, you hear from us, not from an empty doorstep.

No more questions? Just one left.
