Locally owned in St. Marys, Ontario
St. Marys Cleaning is a local, owner-operated company focused on detailed, realistic cleaning for homes and small businesses in St. Marys, Stratford and nearby communities. All work follows the same time-based pricing structure you see on our Services and Request a Cleaning pages — $35 per hour per cleaner with a 2-hour minimum per visit (labour before HST). HST is added as required in Ontario (13%).
Our goal is simple: keep your home or workspace clean in a way that actually works for your schedule, budget and daily routine. We work with the same transparent hourly rate for regular cleaning, deep cleaning, move-in / move-out projects, commercial spaces and specific task-only jobs — the difference is only how much time each visit realistically needs.
When you use our online Request form, you see an estimated visit length and approximate labour cost calculated from real scenarios we see in St. Marys and Stratford area. We then confirm the scope and time with you before work starts, so there are no surprises on the day of cleaning.
A structured, step-by-step approach so every visit feels organized, predictable and consistent with the expectations set on our Services and Request pages.
Before we start, we confirm what rooms and tasks are included — for example, “whole home maintenance clean”, “deep clean before guests”, “move-out clean for inspection” or “specific tasks only”. This mirrors the options you choose when sending a Request online.
All labour is billed the same way: $35 per hour per cleaner, with a 2-hour minimum per visit ($70 + HST). Whether it is residential, commercial, seasonal or task-only work, the structure is the same — only the time changes. The online estimator on the Request page uses this exact logic (planning estimate).
We follow structured checklists for standard, deep and move-in / move-out cleaning. This keeps results consistent and makes it easy to add or remove tasks when needed without losing track of time and priorities during the visit.
Shoes off or covers, careful use of products, attention to surfaces and finishes. We tidy as we clean, respect personal items and keep noise and disruption as low as the work allows — especially in homes with children, pets or people working from home.
St. Marys is our home base. Keeping most work within a reasonable radius lets us protect your booked time instead of losing it in traffic. This also helps us keep our hourly rate fair and consistent with what you see on Services and Request.
For addresses further away, availability and minimum booking size depend on the schedule, time of day and scope of work. Any extra travel time (if applicable) is always discussed in advance and follows the same $35/hour structure.
Many cleanings happen while clients are at work or away. Our structure for keys, access and communication is designed to be simple and predictable, not casual.
Send a short request with your address, type of service and preferred time. We will reply with availability, approximate pricing and next steps — using the same logic as on our Services and Request pages.
