When most people consider the purchase of a product or service, price is of course an important consideration. But there are other things to think about, especially since home or office cleaning means letting people into your home or place of business to do their work.


Peace Of Mind


When Uplift Cleaning Company is cleaning your home or office, you can rest assured that we are doing exactly what we say we are doing. Our cleaners are actually working. Your home is being cleaned. When we are finished, your home or office will be cleaned to the agreed standard. If it isn’t, then we will correct any issues.


Professionalism


This is easy to say, but can be hard to demonstrate in practice. Uplift Cleaning Company holds our cleaners to a high standard to ensure that we are bringing people we trust into your home or office to get the work done.


If you look at the multitude of cleaners offering the most detailed cleaning, who are trustworthy, and offer a low price, you should ask yourself if they can really provide that service in a sustainable way for that price. If they have staff, workers who are being paid fairly, with all of the various insurances, taxes being remitted appropriately, and have compliance with applicable labour legislation too, then a low price that seems too good to be true should raise suspicion.


Uplift Cleaning Company has its ducks in a row! We have all of the necessary insurances, the structure in our business to provide service to our clients while treating our employees fairly, and we pay our employees above living wage for Niagara region too!


Hidden Costs


With Uplift Cleaning Company, we are transparent about pricing and what you are getting for that price. This is why every cleaning job for us requires a custom on-site quote to ensure that we can provide cleaning services to your home or office within your cleaning budget.


Sometimes a job does cost more to complete than was quoted and we have had this happen a few times. Our clients have been understanding and usually are impressed at the results that we have been able to achieve for them, leaving them with a place that is very clean when we have finished.


How To Choose In a Crowded Cleaning Market


You could, of course, save yourself time and just choose Uplift Cleaning Company to clean your home or office for you!


But if that isn’t what you want to do, we advise you to consider the following:


  • Is the price too good to be true?

  • Does the cleaner seem to be a legitimate business?

  • Do they seem professional when you communicate with them?

  • If you check on the workers, are they working?


Uplift Cleaning Company hopes that you find a cleaner who meets your needs for home or office cleaning, even if that isn’t us. Please take care to hire a legitimate cleaning business and ask questions to see if they are a good fit for your needs.

Do you have some Easter surprises left on your lawn? It may not be from the Easter Bunny! 


How Can Uplift Cleaning Company Help?


Uplift Cleaning Company offers dog waste removal service (poop scooping) throughout the Niagara region!


A one-time yard clean-up starts at $100.


Weekly yard clean-up starts at $25 per week.


These prices are for up to two dogs. Of course, Uplift Cleaning Company can handle any cleaning job from large to small, so if you have eighteen dogs, we can get the job done!


How Does It Work?


Our home and office cleaning services are all custom jobs, so they require an on-site quote in order to provide an accurate estimate and make sure we will be cleaning all areas of your home or office that you want cleaned.


For the dog waste removal (poop scooping) service, just contact us and we can give you a price for your first clean-up by phone, email, or social media. 


We will service your yard at our earliest opportunity or on a day you request!


Frequently Asked Questions


Do you do yard clean-ups when it is raining?


No, we would reschedule your yard clean-up for a day when it is not raining. 


Doing poop scooping in the rain would be impractical (and messy), so we would prefer to do this when it is not currently raining.


Will you take the dog waste away with you?


We will usually dispose of the dog waste in your municipal garbage pail or compost bin.


If you want, we have the option of Haul Away Service, where we will dispose of your dog’s waste for an additional fee of $10 per cleaning.


I want dog waste removal all summer. Can you do that?


Yes, we can!


Poop scooping service begins with a one-time cleaning to get your yard in tip-top shape. After that, you have the option of weekly, biweekly, or even twice weekly poop scooping service to keep your yard tidy all summer!


Pet waste can go in the green bin?


It sure can!


According to the Niagara Region’s waste disposal guide, pet waste can go in the green bin as long as it is in a certified compostable plastic bag.


This means that we can dispose of the dog waste from your yard in the green bin! That’s why we use compostable bags in our poop scoops.


Do I need to secure my dogs before you clean my yard?


Yes please! We would prefer that you have your dogs secured for our safety, before we clean your yard of dog waste. 


Safety is our number one priority. We are visitors to your yard and your dog is not familiar with us. We would appreciate it if you could have your dog(s) secured before we provide service at your home.


I have more questions. Who can I ask them to?


If you have questions, please contact us at (289) 931-0117.

Have you ever wondered if the cleaning company you hired to clean your home or office is a legitimate business, or just someone working on the side for cash?


The cleaning industry does seem to have this sort of problem for clients, where they may be getting a very good deal on cleaning at first glance, but they might be inviting someone into their home who may cause them issues later.


How is Uplift Cleaning Company different?


The list could go on and on, but here are a few things that make us an excellent choice to clean your home or office.


  • Uplift Cleaning Company is a registered business.

  • We have business insurance.

  • We have WSIB coverage for our workers.

  • All of our cleaners have had and passed a Vulnerable Sector Search conducted by the local police department. No known criminals work for Uplift Cleaning Company.

  • We have professional administrative support that benefits you and the business by having someone knowledgeable about business administration and human resources working for us.

  • We have a human resources hand book that contains the policies workers must follow while employed by Uplift Cleaning Company.

  • To our knowledge, we are compliant with applicable legislation for a cleaning business operating in Ontario, Canada. And yes, we do update our practices to make sure we maintain compliance.

  • Our workers are trained to provide professional cleaning service in our clients homes and offices.

  • Workers arrive at your home or office wearing a uniform and presenting themselves professionally. That is just how we are!


While all of these things are just what a business conducting itself in a professional manner should be doing, it unfortunately may not be the same for all cleaning businesses that our clients have to choose from.


Why is this important?


Uplift Cleaning Company is not the cheapest option out there to have your home or office cleaned. We know that. This is because the costs associated with running a legitimate business make it more expensive to operate, and therefore our rates are higher.


If a solo cleaner is working informally, their costs would obviously be lower and they can offer much lower rates to their clients.


However, we need to think about what happens if something goes wrong.


Uplift Cleaning Company is a legitimate business operating properly in Ontario. If a worker is injured on the job we have WSIB. If something is broken by us in a client’s home we have insurance to remedy the damage. You can count on our cleaners to be professional and efficient when they are working in your home.


We don’t tolerate any workplace violence, harassment, or sexual harassment, as required by basic human decency and legislation.


We are a smoke-free, vaping-free, tobacco-free workplace, and also we have no tolerance for workers being impaired on the job. These are problems that our clients don’t need to worry about. We make it clear when we onboard our cleaners that these are expectations we require of them.


Cheap Vs. Good


The old balance of cheap versus good may be true in the cleaning industry, as much as it generally is in life. Uplift Cleaning Company is not the cheapest option to have your home or office cleaned. 


You can rest assured that we may be one of the best options you have to get your home or office cleaned in a professional and consistent manner every time we provide service to you!


We aspire to exceed our client’s expectations every time!
