The 4 Pillars of Vetting

Inviting someone into your home is a big decision. The right cleaning company isn’t just about sparkling counters ...
it’s about trust, consistency, shared values, and long-term care for your family and the environment.

Trust & Legitamacy

Never risk your home's security. Ensure the company is a registered business that protects both you and their staff.

The Green Standard

Consistency & Quality

Ethics & Values

Verify if they are truly "Green" or just using marketing labels (Greenwashing).
There shouldn't be a chemical smell when they leave.

A great first clean is easy; maintaining that level for years is where professionals shine.

How a company treats its staff is how they will treat your home.

✔ Insurance & Bonding:
Covers theft or breakage.

✔ WSIB Coverage:
Protects you from liability if a cleaner is injured.

✔ Background Checks:
Essential for peace of mind.

🌿Non-Toxic Ingredients:
Safe for children & pets.

🌿Sustainable Practices:
Refillable bottles & reduced waste.

🌿No Harsh Odors:
Your home should smell fresh, not like bleach.

✔ Familiar Faces:
Do you get the same cleaner every time?

✔ Checklists:
Standardized protocols for every visit.

✔ Guarantees:
Will they return to fix missed spots?

💚 Living Wage:
Higher pay = lower turnover & better results.

💚 Compassion:
Real-life homes. Zero judgment. Genuine care.

💚 Culture:
Supported team. Strong standards. Better cleans.

Good To Know

Why does this matter?

Employees receive consistent training, ongoing support, and clear performance standards set by the company.

Contractors typically work independently and may not follow structured systems or standardized processes.

Training & Standards

Employees are covered under the company’s insurance policies while working in your home.

Contractors are responsible for carrying their own insurance coverage. If coverage is insufficient or absent, liability risks are on the home owner if they are injured in your home.

Insurance & Protection

Tools, Products & Scheduling

Employees use company-approved products, follow established cleaning methods, and adhere to scheduled arrival times.

Contractors often provide their own tools and products with no set standards and determine how and when they complete the work, which can lead to inconsistencies.

Employees are directly hired, thoroughly vetted, and managed by the company.

Contractors are sometimes sourced through third-party platforms, which may limit oversight, background checks, and long-term accountability.

Vetting & Oversight

Compliance & Wage Standards

Employees operate under regulated wage guidelines, with employer contributions to CPP, EI, and taxes.
Contractors are self-employed and not held to the same employment compliance standards.

Some residential cleaning companies advertise “employees” while operating primarily with contractors in the field. Make sure you ask if this is important to you.
The distinction matters ... because it directly impacts reliability, consistency, accountability, and the level of trust you can expect in your home.

"Why is a Company More Expensive?"

The hourly rate of a professional service includes the safety net, insurance, and equipment that protects you.

Freelancer VS Employee

When you book house cleaning, you deserve to know exactly who is entering your home.

At Green Cleaned Home, transparency matters. You’ll receive a photo of the Angel scheduled to care for your space, and you’re always welcome to request a consistent cleaner or someone you’ve connected with before.

Our team arrives in branded aprons, and you’ll receive a message when we’re on our way ... because peace of mind begins before we even knock on your door.

Stop Guessing. Start Trusting.

Finding a cleaning service is easy; finding one you can actually trust is the hard part.

Between "greenwashing," inconsistent quality, and concerns about who is entering your home, the process can feel like a gamble.

We’ve simplified the vetting process by creating the 4 Pillars of Professional Cleaning. This guide gives you the exact questions to ask... and the "Green Flag" answers you should expect... to ensure your home is handled with:

• Trust & Legitimacy: Verified protection for your home and staff.
  

• The Green Standard: Real non-toxic safety, not just marketing labels.
  

• Consistency & Quality: Systems that ensure a perfect clean every single time.
  

• Ethics & Values: Fair pay and a culture of genuine care.
  

Don’t settle for

"good enough."
