4-Week Recurring House Cleaning

This service is perfect for home owners that don’t have kids or pets or prefer to have their home thoroughly cleaned once per month than have a slightly less thorough cleaning every 2 weeks. Often 4-week house cleaning Toronto clients either don’t make their home very dirty or they like to do some light cleaning themselves throughout the the 4-week interval.

Start Your Every 4-Week Cleaning

For 4 week scheduled recurring home cleaning we usually clean for a more time than a weekly or bi-weekly client so that we can remove any build up and have time for more rotation tasks per visit.

Rotation tasks are fairly standard for most homes (see list below) but are highly customized to exactly suit the customers requirements and preferences. Our goal is to maintain your home the way you would if you had time.

On each visit, we clean most of the rooms in the house, even if they are not highly used to maintain the home cleanliness at a high level. Below is an example of a clients 4 week “every visit” to do list.

Garbage & Recycling

Due to 4-week interval, no garbage or recycling will be collected.

Due to the service interval and how time consuming garbage and recycling collection can be when we are not in a weekly or bi-weekly “rhythm”, we usually don’t collect at the 4-week and otherwise longer service intervals.

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:

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:

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.

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.

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 four week client. Usually we have a 4 visit rotation for 4 week clients so that all areas of the home are attended to 3 times per year. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We utilize specialty high end cleaning tools that do not damage your delicate surfaces, keeping them in perfect condition for years.

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.
