Everything you need to know before applying for house cleaning jobs in Niagara Region.
Do I need to have my own cleaning supplies?+
As an independent contractor, you are responsible for providing your own supplies and equipment. The good news: as a self-employed individual, your supplies, products, and equipment are all tax-deductible business expenses.
Do I need a car to work in Niagara?+
Yes — a valid driver's license and reliable vehicle is required for Niagara Region. Clients are spread across municipalities from Grimsby to Fort Erie, and you'll need to carry your supplies between jobs. The good news is that Niagara distances are short compared to the GTA, with far less traffic.
Is Airbnb cleaning different from regular house cleaning?+
Airbnb turnovers are fast-paced and time-sensitive — guests check in on a schedule, so turnovers need to be completed in a tight window. They're typically smaller spaces (condos, cottages) and pay well per hour. InspireClean will brief you fully before your first short-term rental job.
How do I get paid, and how often?+
Contractors are paid biweekly. Tips from clients come directly to you — we never touch them. Your earnings are tracked through our platform so you always know where you stand.
Do I need a police background check?+
Yes — a background check less than one year old is required. If you don't have one yet, that's fine. You can apply now and get one before your first job. We can point you to the fastest local options in the Niagara Region.
How much experience do I need?+
Some professional cleaning experience is preferred, but we've onboarded great contractors with less than a year of experience. What matters most is reliability, attention to detail, and a positive attitude.
Which Niagara cities can I work in?+
You choose your preferred cities in your application — St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland, Thorold, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Fort Erie, Grimsby, Lincoln, Pelham, Port Colborne, Wainfleet, and West Lincoln. We match you with clients in your selected area and you can update your coverage any time.
Am I an employee or an independent contractor?+
You work as an independent contractor — you're your own boss. You control your schedule, accept or decline jobs, and file your own taxes. We provide the client pipeline, platform, and support.
