Yes, Walmart Canada HQ, Microsoft Canada, Bell Canada, Loblaw, Hatch, Maple Leaf Foods drive corporate commercial cleaning. Quote per-sqft per visit (CAD $0 to $0 nightly cleaning) at annual contract with quarterly invoicing. Lock in master-services agreements with corporate facilities teams. CIMS or ISSA CIMS-GB certification differentiates from competitors.
Yes, if you want airport hotel and terminal work. Pearson (Canada's busiest) drives security-cleared cleaning at on-airport hotels (Sheraton Gateway, Fairmont Pearson, Hilton Toronto Airport) and cargo facilities. Quote Transport Canada RAIC clearance (CAD $150 to $500 per technician, 4 to 12 week lead time) and badge-escort time as separate lines. RAIC-cleared specialists lock in long-term GTAA contracts.
Hourly rates are $25 to $55 in the US, £15-35 in the UK, A$30-60 in Australia, R80-250 in South Africa, and C$25-55 in Canada. Most experienced cleaners prefer fixed-price by home size because hourly invites time-padding disputes.
By the job for standard, deep, or end-of-tenancy cleans where the scope is known. By the hour only for ad-hoc tidying where the customer wants to direct work in real-time. Fixed-price protects both sides.
Most cleaners bring their own basic supplies (vacuum, mop, microfibre, eco-friendly products). Some hourly bookings use customer supplies. Always confirm on the quote so there is no on-arrival argument.
Two or three for regular weekly bookings. Pricing is fairly consistent in any one area. The bigger variables are insurance, vetting, and whether the same cleaner attends every visit (better) or a rotating team (cheaper but variable).
Yes. Public liability insurance covers breakages and damage; workers comp covers injury on your property. Hire only insured cleaners; the cost of an uninsured cleaner damaging a hardwood floor or a flat-screen TV wipes out years of savings.
