Home Cleaners Windsor Trusts

Residential cleaning built around how your household actually lives

No two Windsor homes need the same clean. A retired couple in a tidy South Windsor bungalow and a family of five with two dogs in Forest Glade may have identical square footage and completely different workloads. Pricing house cleaning by square footage alone is how cleaning companies end up rushing some homes and overcharging others.

So we start with a conversation. How many people and pets live here? Which rooms actually get used? What drives you crazy when it is not done? Is it the kitchen floor, the shower glass, the dust on the blinds? From that we write a cleaning specification for your property: room by room, surface by surface, at the frequency you have chosen. Your team works from that document, and so does any substitute team, which is why our standard holds steady over years rather than drifting after the first few visits.

Every residential job is covered by $2 million liability insurance, full bonding and WSIB, and by our re-clean guarantee. If any area falls short, tell us within 24 hours and we come back and correct it at no charge.

Need a business cleaned as well? We also clean offices, clinics and retail spaces across Windsor . Many of our residential clients are business owners who use us for both.

Our Residential Services

Six ways we clean Windsor homes

Each of these can stand alone or combine; most clients begin with a deep clean and continue on a recurring plan.

Recurring Service

Regular & recurring house cleaning in Windsor

Recurring cleaning is the backbone of what we do. Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, the same trained team arrives on a set schedule and works through a written specification built specifically for your home, so nothing gets skipped on a busy week and nothing gets done twice.

Bi-weekly is the most popular choice among Windsor families, and for good reason: it is frequent enough to stay ahead of bathroom build-up, kitchen grease and pet hair, but does not carry the cost of weekly service. Households with young children, multiple pets or allergy sensitivities usually do better on a weekly rhythm.

  • All bathrooms sanitised, including tubs, showers, toilets, sinks, mirrors, fixtures
  • Kitchen surfaces, exterior of appliances, sink and backsplash degreased
  • All floors vacuumed and hard floors damp-mopped
  • Dusting of reachable surfaces, sills, blinds, baseboards and light fixtures
  • Beds made, general tidying, garbage and recycling taken out

Intensive Reset

Deep cleaning for Windsor homes that need a reset

A deep clean is a top-to-bottom reset, the clean you book before hosting, after an illness has gone through the house, at the change of seasons, or as the starting point for a new recurring plan. It is the only way to get a home back to a genuine baseline.

We work from the ceiling down and from the back of the house forward, so nothing settles onto surfaces we have already finished. Expect a deep clean of a typical three-bedroom Windsor home to take a team most of a day.

  • Inside the oven, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher
  • Cabinet fronts degreased; interiors on request
  • Grout scrubbed, soap scum and hard-water deposits removed
  • Baseboards, trim, door frames and switch plates hand-wiped
  • Behind and beneath movable furniture and appliances
  • Ceiling fans, vents, light fixtures and window sills detailed

Tenants · Landlords · Realtors

Move-in and move-out cleaning in Windsor

Empty properties are judged far more harshly than lived-in ones. With no furniture to distract the eye, every scuff, every dusty vent and every ring inside a cupboard is visible, which is exactly why deposits get withheld and why listings sit.

We clean vacant properties to handover standard: inside every cupboard and drawer, inside every appliance, closet shelving and rails, all interior glass, and every hard surface from ceiling fixtures down to baseboards. For landlords, realtors and property managers, we photograph the completed work so condition at handover is documented rather than disputed.

  • Inside all cabinets, drawers, closets and built-in storage
  • Inside oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washer and dryer
  • Interior windows, sills, tracks and blinds
  • Bathrooms fully descaled and sanitised
  • Garage, basement and utility areas swept on request
  • Photo documentation supplied for landlords and realtors

Short-Term Rentals

Airbnb & vacation rental cleaning in Windsor

Short-term rental cleaning is a different discipline from house cleaning. The clean has to be fast, it has to hit a same-day window between checkout and check-in, and it has to reproduce your listing photographs exactly, because that is the standard your guests booked against.

We handle Windsor and Essex County turnovers on tight schedules, including weekends. Linens changed, beds styled to match your photos, amenities restocked from your supply, and a written damage-and-inventory note sent to you before the next guest arrives.

  • Same-day turnover windows including weekends and holidays
  • Linen and towel changes; laundry service available
  • Restocking of consumables from your supply
  • Staging to match your listing photography
  • Damage and missing-item reporting after every turnover

Landlords & Investors

Student housing & rental unit cleaning

Windsor’s rental market runs on a calendar, and the University of Windsor and St. Clair College turnover windows compress an enormous amount of work into a few weeks. We staff for it deliberately.

For landlords with multiple units we schedule the whole portfolio as a block, work through it in sequence, and report on each unit as it completes, including any damage worth documenting before the next tenancy begins.

  • Multi-unit block scheduling during turnover season
  • Per-unit completion reports with photographs
  • Heavy-duty kitchen and bathroom restoration
  • Wall spot-cleaning and odour treatment
  • Common area, stairwell and hallway cleaning

Add-On Service

Interior window cleaning for Windsor homes

Interior glass is one of those jobs that quietly changes how a whole room feels. Windsor homes collect a surprising amount of film on the inside of windows, including cooking residue, dust, fingerprints and pet noses, and it dulls daylight long before anyone consciously notices.

We clean interior panes, frames, sills and tracks using a squeegee-and-microfibre method that leaves no streaking and no residue for dust to bond to. Available as a standalone service or added to any deep clean.

  • Interior panes cleaned streak-free, edge to edge
  • Frames, sills and tracks vacuumed then wiped
  • Blind slats and window coverings dusted
  • Patio and sliding door glass included

Transparent Pricing

What determines the price of house cleaning in Windsor

We quote flat rates in writing rather than open-ended hourly billing. Here is exactly what moves the number.

Square footage & layout

The single biggest driver. Multi-storey homes take longer than single-level homes of the same size because of stairs and equipment movement.

Number of bathrooms

Bathrooms are the most labour-intensive rooms in any house. A three-bathroom home is meaningfully more work than a one-bathroom home of similar size.

Frequency

Weekly visits cost less per visit than monthly ones, because less accumulates between them. Recurring clients receive better rates than one-time bookings.

Condition & occupancy

Pets, young children, home-based work and smoking all increase workload. Vacant properties clean faster but require inside-everything detail.

As a rough guide, recurring house cleaning in Windsor typically falls between $130 and $260 per visit, with first-time deep cleans running roughly 1.5 to 2 times a maintenance visit. Your written quote is the real number, and it does not change unless you change the scope.

Homeowner Reviews

What Windsor homeowners say

Our bi-weekly clean has been running for over two years now and I genuinely cannot remember the last time I had to mention something. Same two women, same standard, every time.

Bi-weekly house cleaning · South Windsor
The deep clean before we listed our house was the best money we spent on the sale. Our agent said the kitchen and bathrooms photographed like a new build.

I manage nine student units and Swifty’s does the whole block every August. They send photos of each one as they finish, which saves me days of driving around.

Residential FAQ

House cleaning questions, answered

The questions we are asked most often by Windsor homeowners, renters and landlords.

Most recurring house cleans in Windsor land between $130 and $260 per visit, depending on square footage, the number of bathrooms, how many people and pets live in the home, and how often we visit. A first-time deep clean typically runs 1.5 to 2 times a maintenance visit because it includes catch-up work like baseboards, inside appliances and grout. We quote a flat price in writing after a short phone conversation or a walkthrough, so you are never billed by an open-ended hourly clock.

No, and most of our Windsor clients are not. You can provide a key, a lockbox code, a garage code or a smart-lock guest code. Keys are stored coded rather than labelled with addresses, and every cleaner who handles them is background-checked and bonded. If you prefer to be home, that is equally fine; just let us know so we can schedule accordingly.

A regular maintenance clean keeps an already-clean home in that condition: bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, floors, dusting and general tidying. A deep clean adds the build-up work that is not practical every visit, including baseboards, door frames and trim, inside the oven and refrigerator, behind and under movable furniture, grout scrubbing, light fixtures, window sills and tracks, vents and switch plates. Most Windsor homes start with one deep clean and then move to recurring maintenance.

Yes. Our teams arrive with commercial-grade vacuums with HEPA filtration, microfibre systems that are colour-coded by room to avoid cross-contamination, and eco-friendly, low-VOC cleaning products that are safe around children and pets. If you have a product you prefer we use on a particular surface, a specific hardwood or stone cleaner for example, leave it out and we will use it.

Yes. Swifty’s Cleaning carries $2 million commercial general liability insurance, all staff are bonded, and we maintain WSIB coverage. That means if something is damaged or someone is injured in your home, you carry no liability as the homeowner. We are happy to provide certificates on request; landlords and property managers ask regularly and we send them the same day.

One to two weeks is comfortable for most of the year. From late April through August, and again through the last week of December, demand from student rentals near the University of Windsor and St. Clair College plus general moving season fills the calendar much faster, so book three weeks out if you can. We do keep some capacity for short-notice work, so call us even if your timeline is tight.

That is our aim, and for recurring clients it is what usually happens. Consistency is easier on you and produces better results, because a team that knows your home works faster and notices what changed. When illness or vacation makes a substitution necessary, the replacement team works from the same written cleaning specification we built for your property, so the standard does not drift.

Contact us within 24 hours and we return to re-clean the affected areas at no charge. That is the entire policy; there is no negotiation and no invoice adjustment paperwork. In practice we are called back rarely, but the guarantee exists because you should not have to pay for work that did not meet the standard.
