Meet Us

Cindy

I started Take Time Home Cleaning in 2009. My mission was, and still is: to provide a hassle-free, exceptional cleaning service, at a price that most people can afford.

As a full time high school teacher/college instructor with a large and very busy household, I remember going to work on Monday feeling as tired as I did the Friday before. Hence, the slogan Take Time to Live Well and the tag line Creating Free Time for Busy People.

I wanted to improve quality of life for hard working people who really needed some “me” time. Whether that meant, spending more time with family and friends, developing hobbies or new skills, or lying on the couch binge watching Netflix, everyone needs a mental breather to recharge and enjoy life!

Today, sixteen years later, we are Winnipeg’s largest and most awarded cleaning company with a second location in Edmonton. How do we do it? A strong belief in our mission; great systems and operations; but mostly a wonderful and cohesive admin staff that work hard, collaborate and sincerely strive to produce the best hassle-free cleaning service for our clients.

These ladies are dear to my heart! They are smart, funny, kind and dedicated! They are a gift and I am very grateful

Hi there. My name is Lynette. I was born and spent my early years on the east coast. I am the oldest of 5 children and have three children of my own. I have been taking care of people my whole life.

I started working at Take Time  December of 2021. I have enjoyed every day since. I feel lucky to provide continued care to Take Time clients and their families.  This job has been a dream. I am lucky to be part of a team that wants the same thing I do.

Kelsey

Hi! I’m Kelsey, I started working with Take Time back in 2022. Though, I wasn’t always the Scheduling Coordinator. I started out as a cleaner! I love being active and staying in shape so being a cleaner at the time was perfect for that. However, I received the opportunity to start working in the office as that was my background. I am very happy that I started as a cleaner and worked my way up to the office. Having the knowledge of a cleaner and knowing the duties of the office is the best of both worlds so I can help everyone from every angle! Everyone that I have had the pleasure of meeting through Take Time have impacted my life in so many ways, and for that I am grateful. I look forward to what the future has in store!

Ashley

Hey everyone! My name is Ashley and I started at Take Time in January of 2021. I started out as a cleaner myself, but in a matter of months I was given the opportunity to step up and train and quality check our cleaners. Nowadays, while our other lovely admin help our fantastic clients, I help with cleaner relations and supplies. It’s my job to ensure that each cleaner has the tools and knowledge they need for your home. Even as a child, I was very particular about how things were done, so I put them through a thoughtful and thorough training process with frequent quality checks to ensure that they know what they’re doing and that your home is sparkling!

Textiles:  All materials used in our service such as microfiber cloths, mop heads etc are professionally laundered using industrial grade machines:  washed, steamed at over 80C and dried at a high temperature.  Laundering procedures are the same as those used in medical facilities.

Vaccums:   We use top of the line bagless Shark vacuums.  Top rated on Best Products Canada and Consumer’s Report for hepa filter quality; suction power and safety on all floor types including hardwoods.

Most importantly, they are BAGLESS, which allows us to thoroughly sanitize our vacuums between homes and therefore, prevent cross contamination.  We will Never use vacuums that require bags.  Regardless of the quality of the hepa filter, if the bag is not changed at each home, some microscopic germs/viruses Can still escape through the hepa filter.  (Hepa Filters) won’t remove every particle. “Unfortunately HEPA filters will not remove pollutants from the air that are smaller than 0.3 microns, including viruses, some bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).”  Taken from EPA(Environmental  Protection Agency/USAGov).

Most companies Do Not change vacuum bags between jobs because of the cost, therefore, you are at risk of contamination as soon as the vacuum cleaner is turned on.  Hepa filters help but do not ensure that all germs and viruses captured in a previous home will not escape and disperse in another home.
