FAQ
Do you provide cleaning supplies? What should I prepare for the cleaner?
For regular home cleaning, we ask homeowners to provide their own cleaning equipment, tools, and cleaning solutions for hygiene reasons. However, if you require any specific cleaning tools or solutions, feel free to let us know, and we can offer recommendations.
To ensure efficient and thorough cleaning, we recommend having basic cleaning tools available, such as a vacuum cleaner, broom, mop, bucket, cleaning cloths, and cleaning solutions. If you're unsure what to prepare, click below for a reference list of recommended supplies.
More FAQ
​Will I have the same cleaner each time?
Cleaner availability depends on individual schedules. To ensure consistency, we recommend signing up for our part-time helper package, which allows you to pre-book your preferred cleaner
​
Do you provide ironing service?
​We offer basic ironing services as part of our general cleaning package. However, our cleaners are not liable for any damages to clothing during ironing. Ironing services are limited to one hour per session to ensure focus on your cleaning needs.
​
​Can I request a change of cleaner if I’m not satisfied?
Certainly! However, we highly recommend giving the cleaners a trial period of at least 2 sessions. Our workers generally make use of the first session to understand and adapt to different cleaning preferences of different clients. Cleaners tend to be more efficient and aligned with expectations of homeowners from the second session onwards. In the unlikely event of continued dissatisfaction with the cleaning services after the initial sessions, we will make arrangements to replace the cleaner. Please note that replacement cleaners are subject to availability.
Are there additional charges for weekend cleaning?
No, there are no additional charges for cleaning services on weekends.

Can I leave the house while the cleaner is working?
We recommend that you remain at home or have someone present during the cleaning session to ensure your preferences are met. However, if you need to leave, please inform us in advance so we can arrange for access to your home (e.g., providing a key or security code). Please note that we will not be liable for any missing items if you choose to leave the house unattended during the cleaning. We will ensure your home is securely locked upon completion of the cleaning.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule my cleaning appointment?
