Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a regular clean and an end-of-lease clean?
An end-of-lease clean is a lot more involved than a regular house clean. In an end-of-lease clean, the service will not only vacuum and wipe surfaces as they normally would, but they will also clean out empty cabinets and drawers, wipe down your windows, clean your stove top - it depends on what kind of property you have. The purpose is to make the home look virtually untouched for the next tenant.
Are there environmentally friendly cleaning products?
Absolutely! There are many companies nowadays that specialise in products that are made with sustainable manufacturing practices, minimise waste and are naturally derived, safe, non-toxic, and biodegradable ingredients that won't harm the environment or the inhabitants of your home.
Is it worth hiring a cleaning company for regular jobs?
This depends entirely on your lifestyle, but if you are someone with a very busy schedule, or are living in a large home, or are living alone, then it's definitely something you should consider. If any or all of those traits apply to you, then hiring a professional cleaning company can mean an extra couple of hours in your week to do the things you want to do, all the while living in a professionally maintained home.
Can a cleaning service also do laundry and dishes?
Occasionally. Dishes and laundry do not fall under the normal list of jobs that you can expect a professional cleaner to perform, so it's best not to assume that they will do these things for you. However, it's definitely worth having a conversation with them to see what they are willing to do, particularly if you are looking to hire them regularly.
Can I provide the cleaners with my own cleaning products?
For the most part, yes. Cleaners will bring their own mops and vacuums, but if you have specific products that you'd like them to use due to allergies or wanting to be more environmentally friendly, then you can definitely consult with the company and make sure that this will be acceptable to them.
