Toronto
House cleaning in Toronto, where the person arriving has been before.
Toronto has no shortage of cleaners. What it has a shortage of is the same one twice. The booking platforms that dominate this city send whoever accepted the job, which is a reasonable way to buy a one-off deep clean and a poor way to buy a standard you want to still have in a year.
What you are actually choosing between
Not Sable against another cleaning company — Sable against a marketplace. You post the job, someone accepts it, and they arrive knowing nothing about your home except its address. Next month a different person accepts it. Nobody is doing anything wrong, and the result is still that your home is relearned from scratch every visit, which is exactly where a standard goes. Assignment is the difference. Your team is assigned to you, not dispatched to a job.
Why we can say who is coming, and a platform cannot
Cleaning turnover runs past 100% a year industry-wide, roughly 200% at the median — the average cleaner is gone inside six months. That single number explains the whole complaint list, and it is a staffing problem wearing a standards costume. A company that cannot hold its cleaners cannot promise you one, so it sensibly promises none. We pay above the Toronto role rate for exactly that reason: the premium is not a cost we absorb to feel good, it is the mechanism that makes the only real promise deliverable.

Opening first in
Sable takes on only what its teams can hold, so a city opens in parts rather than all at once. These are the areas we are staffing for first. If you are outside them we will say so and tell you when we expect to reach you, rather than booking you in and sending whoever is free.
- Rosedale and Moore Park
- Forest Hill
- Lawrence Park
- The Annex and Yorkville
- Leaside and Davisville
- The Kingsway, Etobicoke
- The Bridle Path, North York
- Oakville and Mississauga
Questions people actually ask.
Do you cover the whole GTA?
Not yet, and we would rather say so. Sable opens an area only once it has the cleaners to hold it, because taking work we cannot staff is how every service in this city ends up sending a stranger. Tell us your address and you get a straight answer about whether we reach it.
How is this different from a booking platform?
A platform matches a job to whoever is available. Sable assigns a named team to your home and schedules so that at least one of them has cleaned it before. The written scope travels with the home rather than with the person, so a new team member starts from your list, not from scratch.
What does house cleaning cost in Toronto?
Toronto households pay roughly C$40–90 per cleaner-hour depending on the neighbourhood and the depth of the work, with recurring visits discounted 10–20% against a one-off. Sable's own figure comes from three answers on the price page, before anyone visits — though we have not begun trading, so treat every number as illustrative.

Three answers, no visit, and the number does not change afterwards.
None of this is in place yet — Sable has not begun trading, and these are the commitments it is being built on rather than a record of what it has done. That distinction matters more than the promises do.
