Housekeeping services are widely used in Toronto, and come in two forms.
Weekly Housekeepers
Many people hire a weekly housekeeper to help keep their home in order. These housekeepers are generally paid by the hour. Costs for this service depend on a few factors such as:
- The size of your home
- The number of bedrooms/bathrooms
- The frequency of cleaning visits (weekly, bimonthly)
- The amount of people and pets in your home.
- The state of clutter that exists in your home.
- The types of surfaces to be cleaned
- The number of special requirements (windows, laundry, etc)
- The amount of experience of the housekeeper
- The number of people cleaning your home
Expect to pay at least $100 for a monthly visit from a housekeeper to your home.
