Yes, CHUS / University Hospital Center and BRP (Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo, Can-Am) manufacturing plants are major Sherbrooke commercial accounts. Quote nightly office cleaning at CAD 0.08 to 0.22 per sqft per visit; industrial-spec cleaning at higher rate with WHMIS / CNESST safety plan. Annual contracts with quarterly invoicing.
Quote winter-specialised entryway and hard-floor service (CAD 30 to 55 add-on per visit) including salt-deposit removal from hardwood and tile. November to April Sherbrooke roads salt heavily; tracked-in salt damages hardwood if not promptly cleaned. Common callback driver.
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.
