DOMESTIC CLEANING SERVICE
What does a regular domestic cleaning service include?
All of our clients are able to specify what kind of service they'd like as everyone has there own way of doing things and specific needs.

Depending on where you are there may be some adjustments needed to the minimum charge to account for travel times/fuel.
Do we bring our own cleaning products and equipment?
Yes we do, but it's entirely your choice, we are also happy for you to supply everything you'd like us to use.
​
Due to some clients having allergies or health issues we can work to fit around these.
​
We also have products that are eco friendly for clients who have a septic tank and don't want to disturb the equilibrium.​
Do you need to come and look at my house to be able to quote for the job?
It's not essential for us to see the property before we start work. Some of our holiday changeover clients aren't based locally and so sometimes we physically haven't even met! They'll just leave us a key so we can let ourselves in. We can also quote from photos, videos if needs be.
​
It's quite difficult to give an accurate quote for cleaning as you can imagine. We can try and guess how many hours it might take but really until you start the job it isn't always obvious and so a home visit is helpful.
​
Where properties haven't had a good clean for a while we generally find that the first few visits are longer deeper cleans and then once it's reached a more manageable standard throughout, then cleaning can be moved to fortnightly or once a month if preferred.
Many of our clients like us to work to a specific budget and so in these instances we prioritise jobs and achieve as much as possible in that timeframe.
"I was finding I was cleaning the house because the cleaner was coming!"
You'd be surprised how many people feel they need to do this.
But really it's fine, we don't want it to be stressful for you just because we are coming to clean your house the next day. The state the house is in when we arrive really doesn't matter, the only difference it makes to us is how much we manage to achieve whilst we are there if we're working to a set budget.
​
We are as flexible on time as possible so if you've booked 4 hours but actually you're going to need a couple of extra hours one week then then just let us know as soon as possible and we will do our best to accommodate where possible.
