Locally Based · CIMS Certified · Since 2003
Fernie deserves a cleaning company that actually lives here. Since 2003, Goldstar Cleaning Services has been the Elk Valley’s most trusted name in residential, vacation rental, and commercial cleaning.

Our Story
Fernie‘s Cleaning Company Since 2003
Goldstar Cleaning Services was founded in Fernie by Jill Barclay in 2003. What started as a small cleaning operation has grown into the leading full-service cleaning company in the East Kootenays — serving homes, vacation properties, and commercial facilities across the Elk Valley and beyond.
We’re proudly women-owned, bonded, insured, and certified to the highest standards in the industry:
- CIMS Certified — Cleaning Industry Management Standard, independently assessed across quality systems, service delivery, health & safety, and more
- ISSA Member — Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association
- Cleaning for a Reason Partner — providing free home cleaning services to area residents battling cancer
When you hire Goldstar, you’re not calling an out-of-town company with a local phone number. You’re working with a team that shops at the same grocery stores, cheers for the same hockey team, and has a genuine stake in keeping this community clean and healthy.

Local Expertise
Cleaning in Fernie: What Makes This Market Different
Fernie isn’t a typical cleaning market — and we wouldn’t want it any other way. The Elk Valley’s mix of mountain lifestyle, year-round tourism, and close-knit community character shapes everything about how we approach our work here.
Turnover Expertise for a Tourism Economy
Year-round tourism means a high concentration of short-term rentals, chalets, and vacation properties in Fernie that need fast, reliable turnover cleaning between guests — sometimes same-day. Goldstar has refined this process over years of serving the region’s vacation rental community.
Mountain Living Means Mountain Messes
Ski boots, gear bags, muddy dogs, wood stoves, and the wear of an active outdoor lifestyle make Fernie homes a different cleaning challenge than an urban condo. We know what post-ski-season deep cleans look like and how to handle the grime that comes with living in the mountains.
Flexible Scheduling for Seasonal Peaks
Cleaning demand in Fernie spikes hard in winter and again in summer. Goldstar’s staffing model is built around this seasonal rhythm, ensuring we have capacity when you need it most. Book recurring service or turnover contracts ahead of peak seasons to secure your schedule.
A Community That Notices Quality
In a community this size, word travels fast. Goldstar’s reputation in Fernie has been built one satisfied client at a time — through referrals, repeat business, and the kind of trust that only comes with showing up reliably for over two decades.
