1-Week Recurring House Cleaning
This service is perfect for home owners that have kids, pets or just a busy family using their home on a daily basis. Our weekly home cleaning Toronto clients usually want their house to be close to “perfect” on an ongoing basis and see value in having LUX clean once per week.
For weekly schedule recurring home cleanings we usually clean for a little less time than a two week or 4 week interval but visit more often. Rotation tasks are highly specialized as we usually only perform certain tasks or clean certain rooms or areas on a less frequent interval. On each visit, we clean all the areas you would expect, in the rooms you use on a daily basis.

Rotation Cleaning Tasks
This is a very important part of a Toronto home cleaning service. Most companies will claim to perform these tasks every visit, on occasion or on request or like LUX Cleaning – on schedule. Let’s break this down;
How we do it:
Rotation tasks “on schedule”
When rotation tasks and their intervals are discussed by the home owner and agreed upon then expectations are clearly set. When the rotation task list is documented along with many other customized notes for each cleaning, and they are followed consistently and reliably, you have a home cleaning service that is dependable, and takes almost no time to manage.
How other companies do it:
Rotation tasks on every visit
Tasks like cleaning behind furniture or properly cleaning baseboards in non-high traffic areas is time consuming to do properly. However, they don’t get dirty enough over a few week period to require regular cleaning. When a cleaning service tries to clean all the areas you would expect AND all of the areas we (you and LUX) identify as rotation tasks, they almost always end up either running out of time and not cleaning many areas or cleaning most areas of your home poorly.
Rotation tasks “on occasion”
Without a detailed written team brief that has been created by the home owner and the LUX Cleaning account manager, cleaning teams generally don’t have a fool-proof process to know how to remember certain tasks that are required to maintain a home at a high level year round. Even though claims are made to, for example, dust for cobwebs on an occasional basis, it is not done. This can leave the home owner frustrated by always needing to ask the service to clean certain areas of the home.
Rotation tasks “on request”
This approach leaves it up to the home owner to notice, identify, communicate, request and follow up each area of the home that is being “left behind” by a Toronto home cleaning service.
This can be quite time consuming and arduous for the home owner on an ongoing basis and be the leading cause of unhappiness with the cleaning service.
Rotation Task Schedule
Below is an example of a rotation task schedule for a weekly client. This particular client does not frequently use all the rooms and bathrooms in their large home. It’s important to note that LUX teams are highly trained and supervised to ensure we stick to the rotation schedule.

What our clients say
Whole Home Deep Cleaning
We hired Lux Cleaning to perform a “deep clean” of our home and we were thrilled with the results. Ahead of the designated cleaning date, we were given a quote and a list of tasks that would be completed, and they were completely transparent about pricing and different options. On the cleaning date, a friendly and professional team arrived and got to work. By the end of the day, every surface in the house was dust-free and sparkling clean – it felt brand new. We are very happy with the service and would use them again.

Deep Spring Cleaning
We recently had a deep cleaning done by the team at LUX cleaning. The process was great from beginning to end. We felt as though we got a very personalized service. Not cheap but we absolutely got what we paid for. On the day of the cleaning the team was friendly, thorough and detail oriented. They even accommodated our cats staying in our home. If you are looking for a thorough deep cleaning and great customer service LUX is a fantastic choice. Thank you to Allan, Gabi and the whole cleaning team.
Two-week House Cleaning
I initially hired Lux Cleaning to do a one time cleaning, as I had house guests coming. Allan from Lux Cleaning responded and I arranged for him to come over that evening to see what we required. I also requested a quote for bi-monthly visits if I was satisfied with the initial job. I was! Twice a month a team comes and takes care of my home. If there is anything that I would like taken a bit more care, I just let them know. I appreciate that the same ladies generally come to clean the house. They are familiar with what I like and I do not have to keep informing someone new. I would definitely recommend Lux Cleaning for your housekeeping needs.

Consistent, reliable, ethical service provider. We’ve been using them now for over a decade. Very, very pleased.

We have been very happy since we started our cleaning with Lux. Allan and his team are attentive, responsive, and thorough. They have been accommodating with the way I’d like certain things clean and are actively looking for feedback. We’ve had a great experience with using them!

Best Cleaning Service
I found Lux Cleaning after struggling to find an independent cleaner in my area who was reliable, on time, trustworthy AND could actually clean! After multiple bad experiences with individuals who were not bonded or insured (important for breakage and theft) or who were inappropriately trained I had given up. From the initial call with Allan I discovered that Lux Cleaning is different. They don’t offer the one-size fits all approach to home cleaning. Allan takes the time to discuss your individual preferences and priorities. The difference with Lux Cleaning is that with their staff training and a solid Cleaning Plan in place I am assured to get a consistent clean. Lux Cleaning may be more expensive than other services but for the peace of mind that my home is being properly cleaned and to my specifications; and knowing exactly what to expect each time based on the Plan, I can honestly say that it is worth the money! I wasted so much money over the years trying other subpar cleaners – don’t be like me and go straight to the best!
Frequently Asked Questions
Swipe to scroll horizontally:
Do you comply with all laws?
Yes. We comply with all local, provincial and federal laws, rules and regulations relating to licensing, marketing ethics, employment practices and workers rights. We also pay our employees through payroll and our company and all employees pay their fair share of taxes. This is becoming less common in the Toronto home cleaning industry and does add cost to our business which we need to pass along to our clients. Usually when a company offers you very low prices, it is the workers, you and the economy who are paying the price.
Do you send employees to my home or independent contractors?
All our employees are offered full time hours and most work full time hours. We do not employ independent operators. All our employees received their pay through a payroll provider and all government deductions (EI and CPP) are made at every pay period. We also pay stat holiday pay and vacation pay.
Are you reliable?
By having full-time employees and careful client scheduling, we are able to offer an amazing track record of on-time, consistent and dependable service throughout the year.
Are your employees checked out before they are hired?
Yes. They have been checked to make sure they do not have a criminal record, and are currently able to legally work in Canada. Employees are fully trained, supervised and their performance is consistently monitored.
Do you safety train your home cleaning services toronto staff?
Yes. We implement and enforce a Safety Program that teaches our employees to work safely and minimize injuries and accidents – and avoid damage to clients property. LUX is part of the WSIB Excellence Program – which is extremely rare for a home cleaning company. Also, we include 2 or 3 safety reminders in every weekly team update email.
What if I have pets?
Most of our clients have pets in their home. It can be a good idea to show the team where the treats are so when we return, we can offer them a treat before starting the clean if that helps settle your pet. We may ask what we can do if your pet starts chasing and biting the floor attachment to the vacuum cleaner or if there are any other funny pet behaviours that may get in the way of a LUX clean. All of our cleaning teams are screened for being very comfortable with or have their own dogs and cats at the interview stage.
How much do you cost?
Just like everything else here at LUX, we are transparent and forthright about the promises we make to our customers – so you always know what to expect. We charge between $60 and $70 per person hour depending on the project and service intervals. As you will likely be well aware, this price is well below any other home service skilled professional you would have come to your home to complete important work.
We take pride in offering exceptional value for your money and much of our total price is based on taking the correct amount of time to match your expectations. In contrast, most cleaning services in Toronto will quote their price based on the shortest amount of time possible to get your business.
See our comparison chart of what other cleaning individuals and types of home cleaning services might charge and the pros and cons of each type of service.
Do you provide in-home assessments and quotations before cleaning?
We start out with a phone call to discover your requirements and provide pricing and team availability. If you are ok with going forward, we schedule a detailed walk-through of your home and provide an itemized proposal for your approval.
How long will the home assessment take?
That’s completely up to you. We can usually do a full assessment and quotation in 20-30 minutes but if you have a lot of questions or would like to get more detailed in your planning, please allow more time.
What kind of equipment do you use?
We utilize specialty high end cleaning tools that do not damage your delicate surfaces, keeping them in perfect condition for years.
What kind of cleaning products do you use?
We research what we use carefully and then test them extensively before using them in your home. We choose natural, allergy safe, pet safe, food safe cleaning supplies that keep our team healthy and your home a non-toxic environment. We use special cleaners for high-end surfaces to offer you peace of mind.
What other practices do you employee to ensure an environmentally friendly service?
We use washable high quality microfibre cleaning cloths and high quality tools that last longer. We have reduced our waste to a minimum while performing over 1,500 cleanings per year.
