What Our Clients Have To Say
Luke Jones
Enviropure has been cleaning my home for several months now. Their staff on the phone and in the home are courteous and professional. They bring all their own equipment and are in and out, but do a great job. I would highly recommend their service. For my family they take care of the burden of cleaning which lets us spend more time together.
Dennis Sheppard
Recently signed up with this company and they are great. We received enough cleans to say they are ALWAYS on time. They are in and out without making any disruption as well which is great if you’re in a work from home situation due to COVID . I’ve been through a few cleaners over the years and we finally found a company for long term. Highly recommend!
Kaitlin Mackenzie
Enviropure did an outstanding job cleaning our house before we moved in. The appliances look brand new. They covered every corner of the house, even spots we assumed they wouldn’t be able to reach. We’re very impressed.
Marc Langill
We’ve had carpet cleaners at our home and business for years. This is however the first time Ottawa’s Enviropure services were used. Gerry and Chris were punctual, professional and attentive to the smallest detail. The result was by far the best cleaning the carpet has ever had. Before they arrived, we were considering replacing the carpet with hardwood. However after they were done, it looks sooo much better. We are definitely staying with carpet as well as having this company back again. Based on their outstanding carpet cleaning, I would definitely recommend their services.
Marylin Sloan
I recently used Enviropure to do a deep clean, they did an amazing job, they were very professional and worked hard. They made the apartment look like new! They are trustworthy and I would definitely recommend them, I will be continuing to use them on a bi-weekly basis, if I could I would give them a 10 star rating. From beginning to end they were terrific. Thank you to Tina, Richard, Bob and Matt and everyone who worked so hard, what a great team and company!!!!

Deep Cleaning Beneath The Surface
When a home is completely filled with things that a hoarder won’t get rid of, it is easy to focus on the mess that you can see. After all, it is everywhere. What is most dangerous about these living conditions is what could be lurking underneath it all. When hoarding gets out of hand, surfaces, floors and even walls become a breeding ground for all sorts of mold and bacteria that are hazardous to the health of everyone living in the home. In many cases, it gets so bad that the best way to describe the odour in the home is “foul”. On top of the mold and bacteria, a hoarder’s home is a very inviting place for all sorts of pests including rodents, dust mites, and bed bugs. With these “guests” being present in the home, the risk to the inhabitant’s health is even greater. They will defecate all over the home which compounds the strength of the odour and hazardous materials in the home.
Simply removing a hoarder’s collection of things is not be enough in most cases. The furniture, floors, and walls of the home of a hoarder usually haven’t been cleaned in years. In addition to helping a hoarder declutter their home, Enviropure will also perform a deep cleaning, and call in pest control services if needed. That way, the home will become a clean, safe and liveable space again.
