Our Recommendation
Why We Recommend Hire A Maid
We talked to a lot of Whitby residents before recommending a cleaning service. The consistent issue wasn't quality on day one — it was consistency after six months. Cleaners who did great work initially, then started cutting corners, or staff turnover that meant a stranger every visit.
Hire A Maid came up repeatedly as the exception. Owner Carol Dinn has lived in Whitby since 2004. She built this business here. The screening process is unusually rigorous — 1 in 200 applicants gets hired. And the reviews reflect it: people mention their specific cleaner by name, say they look forward to seeing them, that they've been with Hire A Maid for two, three, four years.

We are so happy with the work Alex does in our home! She is incredibly efficient, always asks if there are specific areas we'd like her to focus on, and her attention to detail is remarkable — she even notices things I miss. Alex is a pleasure to have in our home.

A social worker from the Durham Regional Cancer Centre applied to 'Cleaning For A Reason' on my behalf and locally Hire-A-Maid picked up my file. My experiences with Hire-A-Maid have been totally positive. During one of the most difficult times of my life, they showed up every time.

We are very happy with our current cleaner and appreciate how much Hire a Maid staff always does its best to accommodate whenever we have to reschedule.
