About The Cleaning Authority of Markham, Vaughan, and Toronto East
Founded in 1977, The Cleaning Authority franchise specializes in residential house cleaning services across the United States and Canada, with over 220 franchise locations. Angela Moore and Mike Rowlandson purchased The Cleaning Authority franchise in Markham in 2013 and have since expanded their premium cleaning services to Toronto East and Vaughan. While primarily serving residential clients, the franchise also provides cleaning services for select office spaces.
Committed to delivering exceptional quality and customer service, the team follows a structured approach using the Detail-Clean Rotation System in conjunction with a Professional House Cleaning Checklist. This method divides the home into zones, ensuring a rotating deep-cleaning schedule so that every area receives thorough attention at the right frequency. All cleaning crews undergo professional training, and customer satisfaction is a top priority, with re-cleaning offered the next day if necessary.
The Markham office is managed by Natasha Kroon, the franchise’s third employee, while Donna Ward oversees operations in Toronto after joining the team during the expansion into that territory. Learn more about the company at thecleaningauthority.ca/markham.
