Saskatoon Services for Seniors offers housekeeping services for all seniors in Saskatoon. Our staff is screened and fully insured. We are here to assist with many household cleaning services such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, dusting and wall washing. We only provide the services that you require and as such only have a one hour minimum for each appointment. We can provide regular weekly service, bi-weekly services or just when you need us. The fee involved is based on the senior’s income and if cost is a barrier, though our donors we can usually overcome this barrier to be able to get seniors the help they need.

Orange Oil for Effective Cleaning
Orange oil is a versatile and green cleaning alternative to traditional cleaning products. It has many cleaning benefits, including: 1) It’s non-drying – because it doesn’t contain harsh chemicals, orange oil works well on all wood surfaces, whether finished or unfinished. 2) It’s antiseptic – because of its proven antibacterial and antifungal properties, orange oil is great for killing disease-causing germs. 3) It polishes – mixed with a carrier oil, orange oil can help buff furniture and cabinetry to a glorious shine. 4) It degreases – great for use in the kitchen, orange oil can be used to effectively clean up greasy messes.

Get Mobile!
Do more of what you want – when you want. If you ever find yourself waiting around for people to assist you with daily tasks and errands, a mobility scooter could allow you to take matters into your own hands. Confinement can be the most depressing situation that individuals can experience. Nobody wants to stay inside for a long time, especially when it is not necessary. Battery powered scooters have come a long way and are now more affordable than ever. They provide the freedom to get around, they conserve physical energy, and they also provide you access to places you may not have previously been able to go.
