Transparency: MANTLE is based in Scarborough and serves Alderwood. Honest about gaps.
Alderwood is the neighbourhood that Etobicoke locals love — quiet streets, mature alder and maple canopy, well-maintained family homes, and easy access to the Long Branch waterfront. It's the kind of neighbourhood where neighbours know each other and take pride in their properties. The 60+ year tree canopy that makes Alderwood beautiful is also the main cleaning challenge — heavy pollen in spring and organic debris year-round.

The alder tree problem: Alderwood is literally named after its alder trees — and alders are one of the earliest pollinators in Toronto (starting in March, weeks before most other trees). This means Alderwood homes get hit with pollen before the rest of the city. Alder catkins produce extremely fine pollen that adheres to glass more aggressively than maple or birch pollen. By the time tree pollen season peaks in May, Alderwood windows have 2-3 months of accumulated pollen layers. The spring clean here should be timed for late May — after alder AND other tree pollen have peaked.
Neighbour booking effect: Alderwood is a tight-knit community — when one home on a street gets professionally cleaned, neighbours notice. MANTLE offers a neighbour discount: book with a neighbour on the same day and both save 10%. The equipment is already on the street, travel time is zero, and everyone's windows shine. Coordinate with your neighbours and everyone wins.
