House Cleaning in Gananoque, Ontario

The Gateway to the Thousand Islands

Gananoque grew up at the mouth of the Gananoque River on the St. Lawrence, roughly 30 km east of Kingston. It's a small town most of the year and a busy one all summer, when boat tours, the theatre and the islands bring visitors who need somewhere to stay. Many of those places are private rentals and cottages, and every one of them needs cleaning between guests.

Homes in Gananoque

Alongside full-time residents in older town houses and newer homes, the area has a large share of seasonal properties: cottages on the water, suites above garages and houses rented out week by week. Some open in May and close after Thanksgiving; others run all year. Each has its own rhythm, and the cleaning has to follow it.

Owners are often not local, and rely on someone in the area to keep things running between guests. For them, the most valuable part of a turnover service is information: a message when the clean is done, photos of the finished rooms, and a note when the coffee is running low or a towel rail has come loose.
