Homes in Downtown and the Old West End

The Old West End is Peterborough's showpiece neighbourhood: tree-lined streets of brick and frame houses, many built more than a century ago, with deep porches, stained glass, wide baseboards and staircases that go up three floors. Inside you find hardwood that's been refinished more than once, plaster walls, cast-iron radiators and pocket doors. These homes are beautiful, and they collect dust in places a newer house simply doesn't have.

Closer to the downtown core the mix changes. There are converted houses split into apartments, newer condo buildings near the Otonabee, and townhouses tucked behind the main streets. Many of the people living here are professionals who walk to work, retirees who moved in from the country, and young families who bought an old house and are restoring it room by room.

What We Clean Most Here

Regular visits are the main request: every two weeks for the big family homes, monthly for the condos. Older houses need a cleaner who knows not to soak original wood floors, who dusts radiators and their pipes rather than skipping them, and who takes the stairs slowly with the vacuum. If you're mid-restoration, we also do post-renovation clean-ups after each stage, since plaster dust gets everywhere.

Start with recurring house cleaning and tell us about the house when you ask for a price.

How Often People Here Book

Most family homes downtown and in the Old West End book every two weeks, with a deeper clean of woodwork and radiators once or twice a year. Condo owners often book monthly. A typical example: a three-storey brick house with two full bathrooms, original floors and a dog, cleaned every second Thursday, with baseboards and the stair spindles done in full every other visit.

Questions From Downtown and the Old West End

Can you clean original hardwood without damaging it?

Yes. We use a lightly damp mop and a cleaner suited to finished wood, never a soaking wet one. If your floors have an oil or wax finish, tell us and we'll use what you prefer.

Do you clean condos downtown?

Yes. Let us know about parking, the buzzer and any building rules on service visits, and we'll plan around them.
