Our Response to COVID-19

To Our Valued Clients:
We want to assure you that we are keeping well informed on all updates and recommendations regarding the COVID-19 or coronavirus outbreak.

Take Time Home Cleaning has always used these methods and systems to ensure that we fully sanitized properties and avoid cross contamination:

First, at Take Time Home Cleaning, our cleaners are only cleaning 2 homes per day. Companies that clean in pairs or teams are cleaning 3-7 homes each day.

Second, we use a new set of disposable gloves at each home.

Third, we use high quality colour coded microfibre cloths to help avoid cross contamination. A new set of cloths and mop heads are always used at each home.

Fourth, we Never carry toilet brushes in our kits.

Fifth, we use disposable cloths for each toilet. These cloths are always thrown out after each use.

Six, we always pay extra attention to high touch areas like doorknobs; taps; all handles; light switches.

Seven, we always sanitize our vacuums and tools between jobs.

In addition, we are now implementing the following:
1. Our cleaners are required to wash their hands for 20 seconds upon entering and exiting each property.
2. They will now refrain from shaking hands or any other unnecessary touching.  They will keep the recommended 6 feet away from others.
3. Our cleaners will focus even more effort on those high touch areas listed above.
Please read the email sent to our cleaning staff:
