Local notes

Narrow lots, shared houses and market streets

Kensington Market, a National Historic Site since 2006, fills the blocks between Spadina Avenue, College Street, Bathurst Street and Dundas Street with vintage shops, grocers and cafés.

Homes in Kensington Market

Homes are mostly late-1800s and early-1900s row houses and semis on narrow lots, many divided into flats, plus apartments above the shops on Augusta Avenue, Kensington Avenue and Baldwin Street.

  1. Older flats often have original floors and small, busy kitchens; mention any floor that needs a particular product, and add inside the oven or fridge when you book.

  2. In a shared house, agree on which rooms and common areas are included and list them in the booking notes so your cleaner knows.

  3. Street-level flats collect more foot-traffic grit than upper floors, so floors and entryways get extra attention on every visit.

  4. Shared bathrooms in a divided house work hard; they’re cleaned top to bottom on every visit, and a deep clean handles built-up soap scum and grout.

Services

Cleaning services in Kensington Market

Apartment cleaning suits the flats above the shops and the units in divided houses, a deep clean resets a shared kitchen, and a regular plan keeps it that way. Your cleaner brings professional supplies and a vacuum.

Local FAQ

Questions about house cleaning in Kensington Market

Common questions from households in Kensington Market. More answers in our FAQ.

Do you clean shared houses and student flats?

Yes. Book the unit, list the rooms and common areas to include, and pay by card online. At the end of a lease, a move-out clean covers the details, such as baseboards, inside closets and the kitchen.

My Kensington flat is reached from a laneway. How will my cleaner find it?

Add directions to your booking notes: the laneway or side street, which door or gate to use, and your unit number. If you won’t be home, leave a key in a lockbox and tell us how to lock up.
