House cleaning in Cabbagetown

Cabbagetown’s houses stand shoulder to shoulder on narrow lots along Metcalfe, Sumach and Winchester streets: grand bay-and-gable semis, Second Empire rows with mansard roofs, and workers’ cottages on tiny streets such as Alpha Avenue and Wellesley Cottages. Front gardens spill over iron fences in summer, and daily life runs on foot, from the shops on Parliament Street to the trails of the Don Valley.

Houses restored with this much care deserve to be kept the same way. Book online, choose your time, and a vetted cleaner arrives with professional products and equipment. Regular visits keep the rooms you live in most in good order, a deep clean catches the detail an old interior hides, and when a kitchen or bathroom project wraps up, a post-renovation clean clears the dust before you move back in. You see the price upfront, worked out from your home and the clean you pick.

Homes in Cabbagetown

Cabbagetown's restored Victorians

Cabbagetown is known for its preserved Victorian houses, and its streets show why: bay-and-gable semis, rows with mansard roofs and small cottages, all close together on narrow lots. Many have been restored with care, keeping plaster mouldings, pine floors and stained glass while modernizing kitchens and bathrooms.

  • Mouldings, spindles and sills

    Victorian interiors are full of ledges: carved mantels, stair spindles, deep sills and panelled doors. Your cleaner dusts them within reach on each visit, and a deep clean once or twice a year covers them all thoroughly, along with the vents and baseboards.

  • Front gardens and street parking

    Most Cabbagetown houses have a small front garden and no driveway, so parking is on the street. Let us know any parking tips for your block, which door to use and where the key or lockbox is, in your booking notes.

  • Cottages and compact homes

    The workers' cottages on the smallest streets have only a few rooms, often under a steep roof. A regular clean keeps a cottage fresh without fuss, and a move-in clean readies one for a new owner before the boxes come in.

The cleaners who came did a great job and were extremely diligent and thorough. Very good attention to detail which I really appreciated.

They thoroughly cleaned the basement after our tenant moved out, including the walls, windows, bathroom, and fridge. … If you need a reliable cleaning service, I would highly recommend Toronto Shine Cleaning.

How we clean Cabbagetown homes

Regular cleaning

Regular cleaning for the rooms you live in

From a two-bedroom cottage to a three-storey semi, regular cleaning covers what daily life wears down: floors vacuumed and mopped, counters and appliance fronts wiped, the bathroom scrubbed, beds made and small things put straight. Weekly or bi-weekly visits, with no contract to sign, keep an older house feeling looked after, and you can save up to 15% with a recurring plan.

More about regular house cleaning

Deep cleaning

Deep cleaning for detailed interiors

Victorian interiors are full of ledges: panelled doors, moulded trim, deep window sills and door frames that gather a fine grey line of dust. A deep clean takes them room by room, adds the vents, range hood and backsplash, and gives the tub a thorough scrub. It makes a strong first visit, and regular visits hold the result.

More about deep cleaning

Move-in/out cleaning

Move-in cleaning for a new-to-you house

A house that has just changed hands deserves a clean start. Before the boxes arrive, a move-in clean goes through the empty rooms: baseboards, vents, fans, door frames and fixtures, bathrooms top to bottom and a kitchen ready for your first meal. Add the inside of the cabinets, fridge and oven when you book, and your price appears before you confirm.

Post-construction cleaning

Post-renovation cleaning after restoration work

Heritage rules focus on what the street sees, so much of the change in Cabbagetown happens indoors: new kitchens, opened-up main floors, restored plaster. Each leaves a fine dust that keeps settling for days. A post-renovation clean lifts it from cabinets, trim, switch plates, vents and floors, along with paint flecks and tape residue, so the house finally feels finished.
