Why is the Toronto Cleaning Industry a “Race to the Bottom”?

Often Toronto home cleaning services take very little information from the homeowner and offer multiple assurances that you will be very happy with the service they will provide. Often, they overpromise what they deliver and have several ways to “cover off” your complaints should you make any.

Most cleaning companies are very inexpensive. While the cost of most products and services have almost doubled over the last few years, house cleaning services in Toronto COST LESS than they did in 2020. How can this be while ALL costs associated with running a legal business – that follow all employment and tax laws in Ontario – have gone up considerably?

In recent years, there is a significant trend in the Toronto home cleaning business to send “independent operators” to people’s homes. The website you see and the person you talk to are often overseen by people outside of Canada. The people who come to your home may not be trained or equipped to handle the professional cleaning of your home. 

The end result may not be what you are looking for – but it is true that sometimes a low price can ease the pain of a job poorly done.
