Residential Cleaning Services Toronto

Online house cleaning services in Toronto make booking an appointment a snap. While most of the most prominent peer-to-peer cleaning services, which match customers to independent contractors, are startups that have made their way into Toronto, a few homegrown companies have also climbed on board. No matter who you choose, you'll be getting a cleaner place in just a few clicks.

Here are my picks for the top online house cleaning services in Toronto.

This new outfit is founded and based in Toronto, which has some advantages over the foreign-owned services (for example, they're less likely to over-promise on how long it'll take for your cleaner to beat the traffic). Their cleaners use only eco-friendly supplies, and work in teams of two for maximum efficiency. Cleanings start at $125 for a one-bedroom apartment.

Handy
Handy serves more than 20 cities in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K., and handles a number of hands-on tasks (furniture assembly, electrical, plumbing) as well as cleaning. They offer better rates for repeat cleanings - for example, a weekly pass through a one-bedroom will cost $50, but that goes up to $58 for once a month.

Chores' cleaners follow a 60-point checklist to make sure they leave no stone unturned when cleaning your place (supplies are included). A three-hour cleaning for a one-bedroom will set you back about $81.

The biggest player in the online-cleaning sphere, Helpling is a Berlin-based startup that, like the others on this list, matches customers to independent cleaners. For a flat rate of $25 per hour, Helpling cleaners will perform a list of basic services, with extras available as add-ons. (Note: customers supply their own cleaning supplies.)

Good Karma
No, they don't have an app, and their online booking interface might not be super fancy, but Good Karma's cleaning services have a solid rep - and they match Helpling's pricing, at $25 per hour (for a minimum of three hours). They use exclusively non-toxic, eco-friendly products (though you have to supply your own mop and vacuum).
