What does home cleaning include?
- Vacuuming and mopping floors.
- Dusting surfaces, skirting boards and lamps.
- Cleaning the kitchen and bathroom.
- Making beds, emptying bins and wiping mirrors.
How often?
Most people choose every other week. If you have pets or children, every week may be worth it, whereas a deep clean a few times a year suits those who mainly want help with the heavy work.
The same cleaner every time
Ask whether you will get the same person or team every time. It builds trust and gives better results, as they get to know your home.
Key handling and insurance
Reputable cleaning companies have procedures for handling keys and liability insurance. Ask how they store keys and what applies if something gets broken.
