About St. Marys Cleaning

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%).

Practical, consistent cleaning built around real life

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.

  • Local team based in St. Marys.
  • Serving St. Marys, Stratford and nearby areas (approx. 15–20 km radius).
  • One clear pricing logic across all services — $35/hour per cleaner, 2-hour minimum per visit.
  • Estimates are planning values; invoices are based on actual time on site (person-hours).

How we work

A structured, step-by-step approach so every visit feels organized, predictable and consistent with the expectations set on our Services and Request pages.

Clear scope for each visit

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.

One pricing logic

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).

Checklists and routines

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.

Respect for your home

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.

Where we work

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.

  • St. Marys — houses, townhomes, apartments, small businesses and rental units.
  • Stratford — selected residential clients and small commercial spaces by agreement.
  • Nearby communities — small towns and rural properties within approx. 15–20 km.

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.

Trust, safety and access

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.

  • Keys & entry: access instructions are used only for scheduled visits.
  • Products & equipment: we can use our own supplies or work with products you prefer.
  • Pets: we follow your rules for gates, crates and doors so pets stay safe.
  • Communication: we confirm scope and priorities before starting; if issues arise, we inform you promptly.
