House Cleaning in The Annex

Grand old houses and the flats within, cared for.

A whole three-storey house or a single second-floor flat: old wood, tile and plaster get patient work, and landlords can book a move-out clean between tenants.

Local notes

Romanesque houses near the university

The Annex stretches from Bloor Street north to Dupont, between Bathurst and Avenue Road, with the University of Toronto on its doorstep and Casa Loma on the hill just beyond. It is known for big red-brick and sandstone houses on streets such as Admiral Road, Madison Avenue and Lowther Avenue, in the style Torontonians call the Annex house.

Homes in The Annex

Late-Victorian Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne houses, many divided into apartments, plus low-rise and mid-century apartment buildings along Bloor, Spadina and St. George.

  1. Radiators, tall baseboards and big sash windows are typical here; hand-wiped baseboards and interior windows can be added at booking.

  2. Original features such as stained glass, carved banisters and tiled fireplaces are dusted and wiped by hand; flag anything fragile in your booking notes.

  3. Student rentals turn over around the university year; once the lease date is set, choose a move-out time from the open slots on the booking form.

Services

Cleaning services in The Annex

A regular plan keeps a whole house in order, apartment cleaning suits a single flat or a suite along Bloor, and a deep clean resets either. Every cleaner is background and reference checked.
