If You’re Moving:

Are you moving out of a rented home? Wouldn’t it be great to get your whole deposit back to help you set up the new place? You’d be amazed at how often landlords will charge a “professional cleaning fee” when you leave. This fee is often way more than the cleaners are charging him too. Why not spend £40 on one of our cleaners rather than £300 on his? If you’re moving into a new place, the last thing you want to be thinking about is having to clean around all your boxes when you should be getting settled in. Our team of professional cleaners can get rid of all the dust and mess left by the last occupier before you’re even through the door.

Rather than a blazing row erupting every time it’s time to do the hoovering, those cross words can be replaced with a friendly hello as one of our professional cleaners comes and defuses the argument before it even starts.

Free Up Your Free Time:

We all lead busy lives and it seems that moments to catch our breath are getting even rarer. Why not maximise your spare time for the things you really want to be doing? When you consider the average British person spends over 2 years of their life cleaning and tidying (according to a poll undertaken by Harvey Softeners and TalkHealth in 2018), with over 47% of us spending 5 hours or more a week on household tasks, getting someone else to come and run the hoover around seems to make more sense. Just think what you could get up to with an extra 5 hours a week!
