Frequently asked questions

FAQs
Can cleaners access my property if I am not there?

A lot of clients prefer to have their homes cleaned when they are out. For this reason, we set up keyholding.

When it comes to keyholders, the choice is completely yours. Many of our clients work long days and the convenience of the cleaning being done while they are out of the house works best for them. In these instances, many satisfied clients choose to make their dedicated cleaner a keyholder. Many of our older clients also prefer to make their cleaner a keyholder too, this benefits their lifestyle as they do not have to be disturbed by a knock at door.

What contract am I tied into?

What happens if my cleaner doesn’t turn up?
