Domestic Cleaning
A household brief with a sensible order
| Your household detail | How we use it | What gets agreed |
|---|---|---|
| Rooms in regular use | We ask which rooms are occupied every day and which can be left out of a particular visit. A spare bedroom used occasionally should not automatically receive the same allocation as a busy family bathroom. Your priorities establish the working order before the cleaner begins, with a realistic scope for the available time. | A room list, priority order and any rooms that must remain undisturbed. |
| Products and equipment | Describe the vacuum cleaner, mop and products available where these are to be provided by the household. Tell us about manufacturer instructions or product preferences when booking. We identify what is needed for the specified work rather than assuming that every bottle stored under a sink suits every surface. | The equipment and product arrangement forms part of the confirmed cleaning brief. |
Domestic Cleaning
The everyday room schedule
| Space | Work within the agreed scope | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen used for daily meals | Accessible worktops are cleared of ordinary loose debris and wiped, with the sink, taps and appliance exteriors addressed as specified. We work around belongings that have not been authorised for moving. The floor is completed after higher surfaces so residue from the room clean is not left on a newly finished floor. | Oven interiors, heavy grease restoration and inside-appliance cleaning need their own listed scope. |
| Bathroom and cloakroom | The agreed sanitary fittings receive attention appropriate to their finish, including the basin, toilet and bath or shower. Accessible surrounding surfaces are wiped and suitable floors cleaned. We agree the suitable cloth and task arrangements for the visit so toilet work is kept separate from general household surfaces. | Damaged grout, failing sealant and permanent staining are condition issues rather than routine dirt removal. |
| Bedrooms and shared living rooms | We dust the accessible surfaces included in the plan, vacuum carpeted areas and clean suitable hard flooring. Small objects are handled only as agreed, with display items and delicate possessions identified in advance. The focus is usable room cleaning rather than reorganising the contents of cupboards or changing a household arrangement. | Laundry, bed changing and internal storage tasks are included only when specifically arranged. |
Domestic Cleaning
Surface decisions before products are used
| Finish to identify | Our cleaning decision | Detail to tell us |
|---|---|---|
| Timber and sealed hard floors | We establish the floor type and any care instructions before choosing a cleaning approach. Excess moisture is avoided where a finish requires controlled damp cleaning. A worn seal or lifted edge is raised as a condition concern, because increasing product strength or wetness cannot turn a damaged floor into a sound surface. | Let us know about recent treatment, vulnerable edges and any areas your flooring supplier excludes. |
| Stone, composite and delicate worktops | Kitchen surfaces are considered by material rather than appearance alone. We ask about care restrictions and avoid treating an unidentified worktop as a universal washable surface. Where an instruction is unclear, the sensible next step is clarification, not an aggressive attempt to remove a mark that could be damage. | Provide the material name or available care sheet when requesting detailed surface work. |
Domestic Cleaning
How the visit moves through your home
| Point in the visit | Work carried out | Why this order matters |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm priorities on entry | The cleaner checks the room list and any changes affecting access, such as an occupied study or a bathroom temporarily unavailable. A newly requested task is considered against the agreed time instead of simply being added to an already full schedule. Areas containing fragile items or belongings that must remain untouched are identified before work starts. | A short confirmation prevents a technically completed task from displacing the work you actually wanted first. |
| Complete surfaces before floor finishing | Within the accessible room, higher agreed surfaces are addressed before the final floor work. Kitchen and bathroom activities are organised so that the required products and cloths suit the area. Where several rooms share a route, we account for household movement rather than leaving a wet floor across the only usable passage. | The order supports a usable home while the agreed cleaning is in progress. |
| Review the completed list | At the end, we review the requested priorities and identify anything that could not be reached or would need a different service. A mark that remains because of wear is explained as such. If the booked time was insufficient for a lower-priority task, that is discussed when planning the next visit rather than presented as completed work. | Future visits can be adjusted using the actual room workload rather than an undefined whole-home promise. |
Domestic Cleaning
Time, priorities and the price of the visit
| Booking element | Price or planning basis | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly domestic cleaning | Domestic cleaning starts from £23 per hour. The household’s room count, workload and chosen priorities determine the time required; the starting hourly figure is not a claim that an entire property can be cleaned in a single hour. We agree the visit length and the task list together. | The quote identifies the planned hours and the routine cleaning requested. |
| Optional specialist work | Internal oven cleaning, carpet extraction and upholstery treatment are separate service scopes unless explicitly included in your quote. The same applies to additional household duties that take time away from room cleaning. We list agreed additions clearly so a request for help with a home does not become an ambiguous promise to undertake every task. | Choose relevant additions individually and keep the routine visit easy to understand. |
Domestic Cleaning
The checks that matter in a lived-in home
| Review item | What we look at | Action if something changes |
|---|---|---|
| Priority rooms and usable surfaces | We review the main tasks against the household list, looking at the specified kitchen and bathroom fittings, accessible dusting and floor areas. The check is about the agreed work, not a claim to have inspected every hidden part of the property. Belongings and closed storage areas remain outside the scope unless arranged. | Tell us about any missed agreed task while the visit details are clear. |
| Material concerns found during work | A loose fitting, flaking finish or surface that reacts unexpectedly is treated as a reason to pause that task and communicate. We do not conceal a condition issue beneath a stronger product or describe cleaning as a repair. The household can decide what further assessment is appropriate before that surface is included again. | The next brief can exclude a vulnerable area or specify the required care instructions. |

Questions about cleaning your household
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How should shelves with personal objects be described when different rooms are needed at different times? | Show the reachable shelf areas and explain which small objects you will clear before the visit. Give the periods when each household space can be released and the routes needed between them. Fragile collections and detailed rearrangement require discussion rather than an assumption that everything can be moved. The chosen order should fit actual use rather than assume uninterrupted access throughout the home. |
| How should product restrictions be communicated when visible wear may be mistaken for removable dirt? | Tell us the relevant surface-care restrictions before the tasks are agreed and keep available instructions accessible. Show the affected finish and describe any known wear before requesting extra household attention there. A request for routine cleaning does not override the care limits of a particular floor or fitting. A routine visit should not promise to repair a damaged surface through repeated or stronger wiping. |
| What changes at home should be mentioned before returning visits if people must pass through the cleaned rooms afterwards? | Tell us about a changed room use, new belongings or an altered route affecting the cleaning tasks. Explain the household route needed after cleaning so the floor order can reflect continued movement. An established appointment still needs an updated brief when the practical household arrangement has materially changed. A recently addressed room should not be described as isolated from ordinary use where passage remains necessary. |
| How can this visit differ from the previous household clean when the usable appointment window is restricted? | Send the changed priorities before the appointment so their effect on the existing task list is clear. Tell us the actual room-access window and prioritise the household tasks that matter within it. Adding work may displace another task; the booked period should still have an understandable household purpose. A restricted visit period should prompt an agreed task order rather than an unlimited household promise. |
| What should a useful room-wide photograph show when the selected rooms occupy different floors? | Include the accessible surfaces, surrounding belongings and the route through the selected space rather than only an isolated mark. Mark the floors to include and the household route that must remain usable. A wider view helps explain the practical task without turning a photograph into a guarantee of cleaning suitability. Room order can then reflect the stairs without assuming an identical workload upstairs. |
