Home & Condo Cleaning
Weekly routines that survive a busy week, room-by-room priorities, and the condo quirks nobody warns you about.
Home cleaning advice →Salt on the hallway floor by December. A bathroom that fogs up every morning. A move-out inspection on Friday. You'll find plain, tested ways to deal with all of it here, and if you'd rather not do it yourself, we'll put you in touch with a vetted local cleaner for free.
Most cleaning tips online are written for a detached house somewhere warm. Here, you're more likely to be dealing with a 700-square-foot condo near Square One, a split-level in Erin Mills with a dog who loves the backyard, or a small office off Hurontario that nobody officially "owns" the cleaning for.
So the advice is built around what you're up against here: five months of road salt, humid summers that feed bathroom mildew, shared hallways and elevator bookings, and not much spare time.
