Terms of Service.

The rules of engagement between Maison Blanc Cleaning and our clients.

Effective Date: May 2026

By booking a service with Maison Blanc Cleaning ("Maison Blanc," "we," "our," or "us"), the client ("you") agrees to the following terms. These Terms of Service govern all cleaning services provided by Maison Blanc across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.

Section 01

Scope of Service.

All services are performed based on the property size, condition, and details you provide at time of booking. Standard cleaning scopes are outlined on our website and quoted accordingly. Any services outside the scope of your booking are considered add-ons and must be requested and approved prior to service.

Our standard scopes include:

  • Standard Clean: Routine maintenance cleaning of a well-maintained home
  • Deep Clean: A comprehensive first-visit clean including additional detail work
  • Move In / Move Out Clean: Full-scope cleaning of an empty unit including appliance interiors, cabinet interiors, baseboards, and interior windows
  • Recurring Maintenance: Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly ongoing service at the Standard Clean scope

Full checklists are available at maisonblanccleaning.ca or upon request. Services not listed on the checklist are not included in the standard scope unless agreed to in writing prior to service.

Section 02

Accuracy of Booking Information.

You are responsible for providing accurate information at time of booking, including:

  • Square footage
  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Condition of the property
  • Presence of pets, children, or other occupants
  • Any pre-existing damage, wear, or hazards
  • Existence of asbestos, mold, pests, biohazards, or any hazardous materials

If the property upon arrival is materially different from the information provided (including but not limited to: larger, more cluttered, heavier soiled, or containing conditions not disclosed), additional charges may apply or service may be declined. In such cases, a trip fee of $75 to $100 may be applied to cover our team's time and travel.

Section 03

Additional Charges for Out-of-Scope Conditions.

Maison Blanc reserves the right to apply additional charges when the property or service requirements exceed the quoted scope. These conditions include, but are not limited to:

  • Homes significantly larger, dirtier, or more cluttered than described
  • Excessive grease, grime, mold, or biological buildup
  • Heavy pet hair, pet waste, or urine
  • Insect infestation, rodent activity, or biohazards
  • Post-construction, post-renovation, or fire/water damage debris
  • Bodily fluids or sewage of any kind
  • Excessive time required beyond the estimated visit length
  • Areas or surfaces requiring services outside the standard checklist (e.g., laundry, dishwashing, organizing, full wall washing, deep grout restoration, appliance interior cleaning outside of Deep Clean and Move In/Out scope)

When these conditions are encountered:

  • Our team will immediately contact you by phone or text
  • We will provide a clear estimate of the additional charge
  • We will only proceed with your written or verbal approval
  • If no approval is granted, we will complete the originally booked scope only and depart
Section 04

Right to Refuse or Terminate Service.

  • Biohazard conditions
  • Unsafe structural conditions
  • Aggressive pets not properly secured
  • Verbal or physical harassment or hostility
  • Presence of illegal substances or activity
  • Environments deemed unsafe at the sole discretion of our team

In such cases, a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the booked service value may be applied to compensate our team for travel and lost booking time. In cases of failure to disclose known hazards (such as asbestos), the full booked service amount may be charged.

  • Delicate marble, natural stone, brass, or unsealed wood
