“Elena has been coming for eleven months. She knows which cupboard the good glasses live in. That is the whole thing, really.”

Sable is built for month twelve.
Never a crew of strangers — at least one of them has cleaned your home before. A written scope that cannot quietly shrink. A price that does not drift.
“The price I was quoted in March is the price I paid in September. I have never had that before.”
“They photograph every room when they finish. I stopped checking after the third visit — but I like that I could.”
“When Elena was ill they sent Tomas, and Elena came with him to show him the flat. Nobody has ever done that.”
“The written scope is the reason I signed. Everyone says what they do. This is the first one I could hold them to.”
“Fourteen visits. Same standard as the first one. I did not think that was possible.”
“Booking took four minutes and nobody rang me to upsell anything afterwards.”
“I added the oven one week and it appeared on the invoice as the oven, at the price it said. Small thing. Rare thing.”
“Our clinic gets cleaned before six. In two years they have been late once, and they told us before we noticed.”
“I moved flats and kept them. That should tell you everything.”
A fixed price
Quoted from rooms, not floor area, and settled before you book. The quote is the invoice.
A named crew
You know who is coming before they arrive, and somebody on every visit has cleaned the place before.
A written scope
Every point in writing, with the date you agreed it. It can grow. It cannot quietly shrink.
A photographic record
Each room photographed as it was left, by the person who cleaned it, before the visit can be closed.
What it costs
Choose how often, and the price adjusts. Nothing below is an estimate.
Every price includes the crew, the products and the equipment. There is no call-out fee, no surcharge for a first visit, and no tipping prompt.
What a clean consists of
The standing scope, room by room. Yours is written down and dated.
Beds made, linen changedMirrors and glass, clearedFloors vacuumed, then damp-moppedYours can add to this at any time and the addition is dated. Nothing can be taken out of it without a reason written against it — a scope that quietly shrank is the thing this service exists not to do.
Add to any visit
Tick these on a visit and they are added to that visit only. Changing what happens every time is a conversation, and it gets a date.
Questions
How do I pay?
How is the price worked out?
Is it the same person every time?
Do you clean workplaces?
What if something is not right?
Cleaning for homes and workplaces
Sable cleans in Toronto, New York, Northern New Jersey and Hong Kong. One service, four markets, and the same promise in each: a named team with a familiar face every visit, a written scope, and a price fixed before you book.
A price charged by room
We price by the number of rooms and bathrooms and by how often you want it — not by floor area, and not by the hour. You see the full figure before booking, and it is the figure on the invoice. A weekly schedule takes 20% off; a fortnightly one 15%.
Cleaners you already know
Every visit is rostered so that somebody on the crew has cleaned the place before. That is not a slogan — it is a rule the software enforces, and the reason a visit that is moved gives up its crew is that the same rule has to hold for the new date.
A scope that cannot quietly shrink
What a clean covers is written down and dated. You can add to it at any time. Taking something out requires a reason recorded against it, so the difference between “we agreed to stop doing that” and “they stopped doing that” is never a matter of memory.
Pay at the end, or earlier if you would rather
Nothing is required before the work, and no card is held here. The bill is settled by the time the crew leaves, at the figure you were quoted — and if you would sooner pay when you book, or the moment the invoice arrives, you can. What never happens is a charge before there is an agreed price.
Once, or every week — your call
Book a single clean or set a schedule. Move it, pause it or stop it from your account. There is no contract and no cancellation fee.
The journal
Long-form on what a clean actually costs, and how we work.

What a deep clean actually costs in Toronto
Room by room, with the figures we charge and where the differences come from.

Why office cleaning is quoted by walking it
A form cannot tell you about the stairwell, the loading bay, or the two hours before opening.

The month-twelve problem
Every cleaner is good for a month. What happens after that is the whole business.

Cleaning a restaurant between services
What can be done in the gap, and what has to wait for a Sunday.

What a Hong Kong flat needs that a Toronto one does not
Humidity, square footage, and why the scope is not the same document.

Post-build dust is a different job
Why the first clean after a renovation is priced as its own thing.

What a clinic needs before six in the morning
Infection control, and the order rooms have to be done in.

Retail floors and the Monday problem
Footfall, entrance mats, and what actually shows.

Gym cleaning is mostly about time
Between classes, with equipment in use, and what that changes.

Moving out of a New York apartment
The list a landlord actually checks, in order.

Warehouses, and cleaning around a working floor
Racking, dust, and the aisles you cannot close.
