Quick answer
For home or condo cleaning in Toronto, Cottlink lists two companies: Master Maid Cleaning Services in Moss Park, cleaning apartments, condos, houses and offices since 2011, and Pure Maids near Yonge and Eglinton, a newer firm using eco-friendly products. Both offer regular, deep and move-out cleaning across Toronto and the GTA. Ask what each visit includes.
Toronto renters and condo owners hire cleaners for many reasons: a regular weekly clean, a deep clean before guests, a move-out clean before handing back keys, or an Airbnb turnover between stays. The right company depends on what you need cleaned, how often, and whether you want them to bring supplies. This guide compares two Toronto cleaning companies on Cottlink and suggests what to agree before the first visit.
Which Toronto cleaning companies are on Cottlink?
Cottlink lists two Toronto cleaning companies: Master Maid Cleaning Services, based at 275 Shuter Street in Moss Park and started in 2011, and Pure Maids, based at 18 Erskine Avenue near Yonge and Eglinton. Both clean homes and condos across Toronto and the GTA and take on move-in and move-out jobs.

What is included in a move-out clean in Toronto?
A Toronto move-out clean usually covers kitchens, bathrooms, floors, baseboards and the inside of cupboards, but every company defines it differently. On Cottlink, Master Maid and Pure Maids both list move-in and move-out cleaning, with extras such as inside the oven and fridge. Ask for the checklist in writing before you book.
Do Toronto cleaners bring their own supplies?
It varies. According to its Cottlink listing, Pure Maids can use a client's own supplies or bring its own for a small extra fee, and it uses eco-friendly cleaning agents. If you have allergies, pets or delicate surfaces in your Toronto home, tell the company and agree which products will be used.
What should I check before hiring a cleaner in Toronto?
Before hiring a cleaner in Toronto, check that the company is insured and bonded, ask what a standard visit covers, confirm the price and cancellation terms in writing, and agree how the cleaners will enter your home or condo. Both Toronto companies on Cottlink say they are bonded and insured.
- Scope: rooms and tasks included, and which extras cost more.
- Insurance: liability insurance and bonding.
- Access: keys, fob, concierge or lockbox, and whether your condo needs booking for service elevators.
- Supplies: theirs or yours, and any product preferences.
- Timing: arrival window and how long the clean takes.
Condo tips
Many Toronto condo buildings have rules for contractors, including cleaners. Check whether your building needs advance notice at the concierge desk, a parking spot for the cleaning team or an elevator booking for a move-out. Give the cleaning company your unit number, buzzer code and any parking instructions the day before.
For an Airbnb or short-term rental, agree a turnover checklist with the company, including linen changes and restocking, so every guest arrives to the same standard.
Should I book a regular clean or a one-off deep clean in Toronto?
In Toronto, start with a deep clean if your home has not been cleaned professionally for a while, then switch to regular weekly or fortnightly visits. Both Toronto companies on Cottlink, Master Maid and Pure Maids, offer deep and regular cleaning, so you can change the schedule as your needs change.
If your home has not been cleaned professionally for a while, start with a deep clean, which takes longer and covers areas such as baseboards, inside appliances and hard-to-reach surfaces. After that, a regular weekly or fortnightly visit keeps things under control at a lower cost per visit. Both companies listed here offer either option, so you can switch as your needs change.
A deep clean takes longer because it reaches areas a regular visit skips. Ask the company how many cleaners will come and roughly how long they expect to stay, so you can plan your day.
Getting a fair quote
Cleaning companies usually price by the size of the home, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the type of clean and any extras. To compare quotes fairly, give each company the same details: square footage or number of rooms, whether you have pets, the condition of the home and the extras you want, such as inside the oven or windows. Ask whether the price is fixed or hourly, and what happens if the job takes longer than expected. Get the final quote in writing, by email or text, before the visit.
If you are moving out of a rental, check your lease for any cleaning requirements and share them with the company.
