— About True Shines

Vancouver's most-trusted cleaning crew since 2014.

Twelve years. Six crew leads. 247 active clients. One promise: a bonded, uniformed team that knows your home by visit two, your office by week three, and shows up on the same day at the same time — every single time.

— Our story

Started in a Kitsilano basement, now the crew 38 Vancouver businesses call by name.

I started True Shines in 2014 with one other person, a used vacuum, and a rule: never send a crew to a home I wouldn't be comfortable in myself. Twelve years later we still run that rule. Every crew is in uniform, in a marked van, with photo ID, and we tell you their first names before they ring your buzzer.

We've grown carefully — 6 full-time crew leads, 14 part-time cleaners, a small office in Coal Harbour, and a waitlist for new residential recurring clients because we won't take work we can't staff properly. We lose some business that way. We'd rather lose a job than lose a client to a rushed one.

If you're a Vancouver homeowner or facility manager who's been burned by a "cleaning service" that sends a different stranger every week — give us a call. We'll show you what the same crew, every visit, actually looks like.

— What we stand for

Four values, not a poster on the wall.

Everything we do rolls back to these four. If a process doesn't serve one of these, we change the process.

— 01

Same crew, every time

No strangers in your home. Your assigned 2-person team is the same two people for the life of the contract. They know your pets, your lockbox, your "please don't touch the cat."

— 02

Show up, on time

If we're late, your first hour is free. That's been our policy since 2014. We log every arrival, every departure, and you'll see the timestamp on every invoice.

— 03

Pay our crew properly

Every cleaner earns $24+/hr plus benefits, transit, and a year-end profit share. Why? Because happy crews don't leave. Our 6.4-year average tenure isn't an accident.

— 04

Fix it, in writing

If anything is below your standard, we re-clean within 24 hours — free, no questions. Every invoice carries that guarantee in writing, signed by the crew lead on shift.

— Verified & certified

The paperwork, in one place.

Every certification is current, audited annually, and available as PDF on request. We give strata and facility managers a complete insurance package on day one.
