Please be sure you understand your local Green Maids Canada lock-out fees. We want to help you avoid incurring these additional fees!

Most of our clients either provide us a key or hide one on the premises on cleaning day.

It requires moisture, warmth and a food source to exist. It reproduces itself by growing microscopic spores in enormous quantities. These spores are always present in the air and spread via normal air currents. A spore lies dormant until favorable moisture and temperature conditions occur for it to germinate. Mildew thrives in warm moist areas that have poor air circulation. In the average household, mildew is typically found in the bathrooms. The corners, cracks and crevices of the tub, shower, sink and toilet are the most common areas infected. It ranges in color from a pinkish-orange to black.

Your Green Maids Canada cleaning team will be able to impede the growth of mildew by removing the built up food sources that it lives on, such as soap, skin, hair and etc. However, as long as moisture and warmth are present, the spores will immediately germinate and mildew will again be growing on the host area.

To stop the growth of mildew, the area must be kept dry or it must be chemically treated to make it an undesirable environment for the spore to germinate. Chlorine bleach is a very good sanitizer to use on an infected area.

To reduce the pungent odor, the bleach can be diluted up to 50% with water. The most practical application method would be to lightly spray the area, although it can be wiped or sponged on. It is not necessary to saturate the area or to treat uninfected areas. Leave the bleach in contact with the surface area for at least an hour. Rinse any area that you will touch in later use. Repeat the application on a bi-weekly basis or when mildew reappears.

Insurance restrictions do not permit Green Maids Canada to use chlorine bleach. As Green Maids Canada customer, you may choose to use bleach independently to help control mildew growth. If you choose to do so, please do not use bleach for two days preceding a scheduled house cleaning by Green Maids Canada because a chlorine residue could combine with the other cleaning solutions we use and cause the formation of a toxic gas.

Most offices require a minimum 48 hours notice to reschedule your house cleaning, however this notification window varies from office to office.

Unlike the airlines, we do not overbook our schedule. So, if you need to reschedule a cleaning without proper notice, we will not have enough opportunity to fill the schedule with another maid services client. This decreases the maids’ pay. Without consistent wages, we cannot retain the best talent to clean for you. Thus, respecting our procedure for reschedules helps insure you will get the best house cleaning service possible.

Please be sure you understand The Green Maids Canada procedures for rescheduling and cancelling visits. We do have a cancellation and will assess a cancellation fee if necessary, although we want to help you avoid incurring these fees!
