Cleaning Service Policies:
These policies are agreed to upon booking and govern the expectations and procedures for all cleaning services provided by WPG Local Cleaners Inc. We recommend you check back regularly as updates may be made to our policies at any time.
Who We Are
WPG Local Cleaners Inc. operates as a liaison between clients and a trusted network of independent subcontracting cleaners, each under contract to uphold our service standards. Our role is to match clients with available cleaners based on scheduling, preferences, and location.
Because we work exclusively with subcontractors—not employees—we do not maintain a full-time, on-call cleaning staff. This structure allows us to keep service costs more reasonable while ensuring our subcontractors are compensated fairly for their work.
All subcontractors operate as independent businesses and are free to determine the methods, tools, and scheduling they use to fulfill client bookings, provided the results meet the agreed service standards.
As a result, we cannot guarantee that a specific cleaner—or any cleaner—will be available on your exact preferred date. That said, we always strive to accommodate your requests and will communicate as promptly as possible if rescheduling is required.
Payment Terms
- No deposit is required prior to cleaning unless under special circumstances.
- Invoices are sent within 24 hours of service completion. If your booking falls on a Friday, you may not receive your invoice until the following Monday, as we do not have management operations on weekends.
- Payment is due within seven (7) days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed.
- For recurring clients: your previous payment MUST be processed prior to your subsequent cleaning. Otherwise, you may be subject to an additional late payment fee.
- Accepted payment methods:
- E-transfer (to info@wpglocalcleaners.ca)
- Credit/debit card via Square
- Cheques by mail (in select cases only - to be approved by management)
Contacting Management
WPG Local Cleaners may contact you through our automated line (204) 500-1894 for appointment reminders, confirmations, or general updates. However, this number is not regularly monitored for incoming messages, and anything you send may be lost among automated reminders.

If no one is available, we will rebook you as soon as possible according to our cleaner's availability.

Walkthroughs & Estimates
