Deep cleaning questions

Cannot find your answer? Text us and a real person will reply.

Which clean do I need?

Want your home kept clean week after week? Choose recurring cleaning. Need every room cleaned top to bottom? Choose a deep clean. Moving? Book a move-in or move-out clean. Still not sure? Text or email us and we will help you choose.

Deep clean or recurring clean?

A recurring clean keeps a tidy home tidy. A deep clean goes further: baseboards, door frames, vents, blinds, light fixtures, grout, and behind and under furniture you can move.

Deep clean or move-out clean?

A move-out clean is a deep clean for an empty home. With nothing in the way, we also clean inside every cabinet, closet and appliance.

How long does a deep clean take?

It depends on the size of your home and how long it has been since its last deep clean. A deep clean often takes close to twice as long as a regular clean. We discuss the scope, expected time and price with your quote.

Will you move furniture?

Your team cleans behind and under furniture that is safe to move. Very heavy pieces stay where they are. Tell us about anything fragile in your booking notes.

Do I need to be home?

You can be home or agree another access arrangement with us before confirming the visit. Keep keys, entry codes and alarm details out of the website forms; discuss the handover directly with us.

Do you bring cleaning supplies?

Yes. Your team brings all cleaning supplies, a vacuum and a mop. If you would like us to use your own products, leave them out and add a note to your booking.

Can I add extras?

Yes. Add inside the oven, inside the fridge, inside windows, laundry and more when you book.

How do I pay?

We do not collect payment or card details on this website. We discuss pricing and payment arrangements with you before you agree to a clean.

What if I am not happy with the clean?

Tell us within 24 hours. We call you the same day and come back to fix it, free.

Can I keep the same team after?

Tell us if you would like recurring visits after your deep clean. We review availability and aim to keep a familiar team, with the frequency, team and dates agreed before you confirm.
