FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ABOUT CUSTOM MAIDS AIRBNB CLEANING SERVICES

  • WE WILL SEND ONE CLEANER ONLY.
    We never send teams or crews of cleaners into a private AirBnB.

    We send two cleaners to an AirBnB only when time is limited between guests and the cleaning must be completed in an exceptionally short period of time.

  • Our AirBnB Cleaning Service Staff is comprised largely of traditional cleaning ladies who have had many years of cleaning experience prior to joining CUSTOM MAIDS, and have been in positions of trust for most of their lives.

    Notwithstanding their prior qualifications, all cleaning staff have completed CUSTOM MAIDS’ Cleaner Service Training Program, which includes a component on AirBnB Cleaning Services. And, once employed, our standards are maintained through an ongoing program of training and supervision.

  • By using CUSTOM MAIDS, you eliminate all risks associated with direct employment.

    As all of our Toronto AirBnB Cleaning Service Staff are employees of our Cleaning Company . . .​

    WE ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CLEANER ASSIGNED TO YOUR AIRBNB
    AND FOR YOUR AIRBNB WHEN YOU’RE NOT THERE.

    ALL CUSTOM MAIDS AIRBNB CLEANING SERVICE STAFF:

    • are screened from a pool of some 1,200 candidates each year;

    • have completed CUSTOM MAIDS’ AirBnB Cleaner Service Training Program;

    • have undergone extensive background checks;

    • are fully bonded by CUSTOM MAIDS;

    • are covered by Worker's Compensation (in the event of injury in your AirBnB);

    • are covered by Comprehensive Liability Insurance (in the event of damage);

    • are legally employable, and eligible for all benefits pursuant to legal employment (statutory holiday pay, vacation pay, employment insurance, etc).

    You’re offered AirBnB Cleaning Services by an experienced and qualified cleaning person,
    together with all the protections necessary to save you from exposure of every kind.

  • It's entirely up to you how often you use our AirBnB Cleaning Services.

    Most AirBnB Hosts use our Cleaning Services strictly on an as-needed basis (scheduling visits each time a guest checks out or a new guest checks in).

    However, during periods when you have a long-term guest or the premises are vacant for an extended time, you may wish to have Cleaning Services on a regular basis - daily, twice-weekly, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.

    Whatever your need, we’re here to accommodate.

  • Our Toronto AirBnB Cleaning Services are offered 7 days a week, Monday through Sunday.

    Morning cleaning visits are typically scheduled for an arrival time of 8am to 8:30am.
    Afternoon visits are usually scheduled for a 1pm to 2pm arrival

    But, of course, these arrival times are flexible, dependent on the check-out and check-in times of your guests.

  • We’re happy to accommodate any entry arrangement that’s comfortable for you.

    Many AirBnB Hosts hide a key for their Cleaner or leave a key with a neighbour. Those with condo or apartment units often leave a key with the concierge or security desk. And, of course, many Hosts provide us with a key so we can always access their AirBnB on short notice.

    Just let us know an entry arrangement that will work for you and we’ll be happy to oblige.

  • YES.  YOUR KEY WILL BE VERY SECURE.

    WHEN YOUR KEY IS RECEIVED BY CUSTOM MAIDS' TORONTO OFFICE :

    • Your key will be labelled with a reference number only;

    • The name associated with your key’s reference number will be recorded separately in CUSTOM MAIDS' encrypted database;

    • Your key will be stored in the company vault; and

    • When your key is needed for cleaning, it will be "signed out" and "signed back in" by your AirBnB Cleaner.

  • You’re always welcome to cancel an AirBnB cleaning visit.

    We only ask that you contact CUSTOM MAIDS’ Toronto Office 48 business hours prior to the cleaning visit (so we have the lead time necessary to ensure our AirBnB Cleaner is booked elsewhere).

  • Yes. Your AirBnB Cleaner will use your cleaning supplies.

    AND THE GOOD NEWS IS:

    OUR PRICE POINT REFLECTS THIS APPROACH!

    If you compare our AirBnB cleaning service prices with the prices of team cleaning services that travel in crews with cars and equipment, you’ll see just how affordable we are!

    We don’t expect that you’ll mind picking up five or six cleaning products in order to take advantage of the cost savings available to you at CUSTOM MAIDS.

    Before your first AirBnB cleaning visit, please ensure that the necessary cleaning supplies are at the premises.

    (See our List of  12 Essential Cleaning Products  above.)

    Beyond the first visit, we’ll let you know occasionally when an item needs replenishing.

  • CUSTOM MAIDS accepts only electronic payments :
    Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Visa Debit and MasterCard Debit.

    Prior to your first AirBnB Cleaning Service, your credit card information will be taken by telephone and recorded in CUSTOM MAIDS' encrypted database.

    AFTER each Cleaning Service, your credit card will be charged.  (We DO NOT process credit card payments in advance of your AirBnB Cleaning Service.)

  • No.  Our clients are under no contractual obligation to use our AirBnB Cleaning Services.

  • YES, OUR AIRBNB CLEANING SERVICES ARE BACKED BY A

    100% ABSOLUTE GUARANTEE OF SATISFACTION.

    You have no reason to expect disappointment with CUSTOM MAIDS. After 46 years as the market leader, poor cleaning is “not our brand.”

    But if you or your guest is not 100% ecstatic about the cleanliness of your AirBnB, just let us know and we’ll be back to fix the problem immediately.

    We’re committed to protecting your professional image and we’ll do everything we can to help you earn a 5-star rating from your guests.

    That’s our promise.

    We know there are plenty of Cleaning Companies in Toronto offering AirBnB Cleaning Services.
    We don’t want to just deliver you an AirBnB Cleaning Service today. We want to be the Toronto Cleaning Company you turn to for months and years to come.

Windows

Cleaners are often pressed for time at AirBnB Cleanings. With this in mind, windows are left as the last priority.  Should there be time remaining, the Cleaner will wash as many windows as time allows.

If having the windows washed is a necessity, then additional time should be booked.

PLEASE NOTE : 

As part of our normal routine, Cleaners always remove obvious spots from windows throughout the space.

​Hosting an AirBnB or renting out a vacation property can be a rewarding experience. But keeping your space clean is a different story. At times, you may find yourself feeling more like a maid than an AirBnB host. 

At CUSTOM MAIDS, we’re happy to help you whip your rental into shape between guests,

 so you can make a great first-impression and  “WOW” your guests every time.

Our AirBnB Cleaning Services can Boost your Ratings.
