4. House cleaning services in Barrie?
Original English title:House cleaning service in Barrie?
Post summary:Hi everyone! Just moved to Barrie and looking for a house cleaning service (about every two weeks). We know from experience that they're not all equal - we're looking for someone who truly cares about the quality of work and cleaning/sanitizing the home, and pays attention to detail without needing reminders on the basics. Only looking for recommendations from people who regularly use these services and fully trust their provider. We had a great cleaning company in Vaughan, paying $100 for 4 hours.

But from what I understand, they charge a bit less if you're a regular customer.
