Our Story: Proudly Serving the Communities We Call Home

In 1987, Patti Canterbury founded Merry Maids of Canton with a simple but powerful mission: to bring dependable, high-quality home cleaning services to families just like yours. As lifelong residents of Ohio, we understand firsthand the importance of trust when inviting someone into your home.  

Seeing the need for trustworthy, professional help right here in our own community inspired her to purchase a Merry Maids franchise — and to build a business based on care, reliability, and connection. 

Our family’s commitment to providing exceptional cleaning services remains at the heart of everything we do — a legacy of care that keeps our local community’s needs at the forefront. 

What Sets Us Apart?

We’re not just a cleaning service — we are your local cleaning experts. We take the time to understand the materials and surfaces in your home, from the type of flooring to the finish on your countertops. This allows us to use the proper cleaning techniques that protect and preserve your space. 

Our technology-forward approach helps us respond to customer inquiries quickly and efficiently, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.  

Every home runs a little differently, which is why our house cleaning services in Canton are made to stay flexible. Merry Maids will strive to develop a cleaning program suited just for you and your family's wants and needs. Our well-trained and dedicated office staff will listen and then offer various options to meet your needs and budget. Are you looking for...

 

  • Recurring house cleaning?
    Weekly or biweekly visits help keep kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces consistently clean. Our team dusts surfaces, vacuums carpets, mops floors, and wipes down high-touch areas. 

  • Deep cleaning?
    Extra attention is given to areas that accumulate buildup over time, such as baseboards, cabinet fronts, vents, and window sills. 

  • Move-in and move-out cleaning?
    Detailed cleaning inside cabinets, drawers, appliances, and bathrooms helps prepare homes for their next chapter. 

  • One-time cleaning?
    A single visit can help before guests arrive, after busy seasons, or anytime your home needs a fresh start. 

  • Post-renovation cleaning?
    Fine dust from home projects is carefully removed from surfaces, fixtures, and vents so the space feels ready to use again. 

  • Add-on services?
    Interior windows, refrigerator interiors, oven interiors, or extra focus on specific rooms can be included when needed.

For Us, It’s All About People

Every team member at Merry Maids of Canton goes through training and background checks, yes, but we also look for something you can’t teach: pride in a job well done. Our cleaners notice the little things, like straightening throw pillows or making sure your sink shines, because those small touches change the way a home feels. We are so very proud of our staff and their ability to not only meet but exceed our clients' expectations each and every day.
