ABOUT US

A Brief History
Arsenal Cleaning Services Ltd. was established in 1982 and incorporated in Ontario on January 26, 1988. Corporate offerings have expanded to include Commercial, Industrial, Municipal and Retail Stores in the GTA.

For over 20 years our expertise has kept pace with and exceeded our corporate growth. Yet, we still remember our roots in expediting creative solutions for our clients.

Our Mission
Our aim is to maintain a long-term quality relationship with each of our valued clients. We strive to grow through ethical, professional, cost effective solutions in the cleaning industry.
