Weekly Cleaning Service

We depend on Laurel and her team to help take care of our home. They do an awesome job cleaning up after our twin daughters and their crazy busy parents. We couldn't have survived the last couple years without Poly's help and we highly recommend rentawife!

Move out clean

I hired Rent-a-Wife to clean my apartment when the tenants moved out. Very reasonable pricing and no hidden extras. I was out of town at the time and needed someone to do the job in my absence. Laurel responded to my emails quickly and was great to deal with. I have used her services twice now and will continue to do so when future tenants move out!
Reliable service A+

Floor cleaning

Polly and Andrea did a fabulous job cleaning my hardwood floors and bringing them back to life. I have had so many compliments on them and several people think I just had the floors newly sanded and varnished. I've already enquired about bringing in a house-cleaning crew on a regular basis.

I have been using Rent a Wife for over 10 years, they come every other week for 4.5 hrs. Kris is very responsive and reliable. She makes a good effort to find a suitable cleaner to suit our family’s needs. The quality is good and we are quite pleased.

house cleaning service

I saw a local advertisement for this company back in 2009 and have been using them ever since when I need help. It is not a regular cleaning job just as I need when moving, etc. I had them come clean my house after I sold it, it was a lot of work and they did a fabulous job. They have assisted me several times as I moved from apartment to apartment. Not just cleaning but packing up as well. I will be getting them again soon.

general house cleaning

I have used this company a few times over the last 17 years. Years ago I used them on a regular basis now it seems that I mainly use them for moving, or occasionally on a holiday for some extra cleaning. I am thrilled with their work and use them at least once or twice a year. the quality is excellent, they are punctual and reliable.

house cleaner

Although the quality of the cleaning was very good, I am no longer using this cleaning company. I have been home for a period of time and no longer require the extra help. We will hire cleaning help at some point but will probably not choose Rent a Wife. I find them expensive, $30.00 is high compared to others. In addition, I don't feel that the cleaners themselves get paid well. They get a very small part of that hourly rate.

Hi Jody: I just wanted to let you know that Rent-A-Wife cleaners get paid a higher hourly rate than most of the cleaning companies that I have enquired about. I believe that cleaning is some of the hardest work out there and believe that renumeration should be fair and allow for a good quality of living. I have had the same cleaners working here for up to 30 years and if we hadn't paid a fair wage then they would have gone elsewhere. Our rates are comparable with a lot of other companies in Toronto, and I haven't raised the rate in 5 years. Thanks for bringing up the subject and I hope this gives you a more truthful insight.
Thanks
Kris

house cleaning service

I have used this company for many years, I got a kick out of the name. Initially it was Kris’ mother who owned it. I feel that Kris treats her workers well. I sometimes rent out my apartment and hire them to clean as it is a legitimate business and I receive a receipt. The quality is excellent, if I ever did have an issue one phone call to Kris and the problem is solved.

Hi J.R: Yes, my mother started Rent-A-Wife in 1980. I had come for a visit from Vancouver and went out on jobs with her. The attention to detail was really important as well as going above what the situation called for. I do really care for my workers as I used to be one of them and I know how I liked to be treated as well as what I felt was fair to be paid. Thanks for taking the time to write a review, I really appreciate it.
Thanks

Spring Cleaning Birthday Present

We needed a large cleaning, it was my wife's birthday, and she wanted me to hire cleaners as her present. Kris was great to chat to on the phone, and was quite helpful suggesting the amount of service we'd need for this job, and for scheduling the cleaner to come over. Ava, the cleaner, was great! She was punctual, hard working, and kept at everything until it was spic and span! Ava was over for two days, and the results were great!
We heartily recommend these folks to you!
