Trial cleaning session
Your first session is called the trial clean. The cleaner will have a brief discussion with you on arrival about your home cleaning requirements and will clean on this visit for an agreed number of hours.
Please refer to our home cleaning task list below (we will also email you a copy) and discuss your cleaning priorities with the cleaner. The cleaner will let you know how much time she/he requires to do the work you’ve discussed. Our cleaners can only do tasks that are on our task list.
Please note: our housekeepers cannot do oven cleaning, move furniture or stand on chairs or step ladders.
Please note: the trial clean is NOT a free session. You pay the cleaner at £14 per hour at the end in cash and we will email you an invoice for the agency fee for the trial clean.
