Yes, if that is what you need. Just tell us when you book. Our default is to use what you already have in the house, because most people would rather their own hoover and their own products were used in their own home, and it keeps the price down. If you would prefer us to bring everything, say so at quote stage and we will send a cleaner who is set up for it, with their own hoover, mops and products. It genuinely changes who we can send, so it is worth mentioning early rather than on the day.

Being the person who takes a job off somebody's plate. Someone messages us in the middle of a house move, stressed, with a check-out inspection in two days and no idea how they are fitting it in. Or a family who have been meaning to sort the house properly for about eight months and it keeps sliding. A week later it is simply done, and they are not thinking about it anymore. That handover, the moment it stops being their problem and becomes ours, is the whole point of the business for me.

I have two kids, and honestly, everything I am building is for them. That is the real answer. The other half of it is that hiring a cleaner is mostly a gamble at the moment. You find someone through a Facebook group, hand over a key to a stranger, and hope. If they stop turning up, or the job is rushed, there is nobody to go to and it is your word against theirs. I wanted to build the version where that cannot happen: proper vetting, insurance checked before anyone gets your address, a written standard every cleaner works to, and a real company on the end of the phone when something needs sorting out.

I will be honest with you: we are not going to be the cheapest quote in your inbox. If price is the only thing you are weighing, someone on here will beat us. What you get for the difference is the risk taken off you. Every cleaner is vetted and insured before they ever get your address, so you are not handing a key to a stranger off a listings app. Every job runs off a written spec sheet, room by room, so the standard does not swing depending on who turns up. Every room is photographed before and after, so you are not taking anyone's word for it, including ours. And your slot is held rather than pencilled in, so you are not sat waiting on the day wondering if anyone is coming. Then, if something is not right, you are dealing with a real Greater Manchester company that answers the phone. Not a gig booking that goes quiet. That is it. We are the one you do not have to think about again.

The cleaning itself, no. Somebody has to be stood in your kitchen for that. Everything around it is online though, and that is deliberate. You can get a price without a phone call, without waiting on a callback, and without anyone coming out to your house to quote first. Send us the property details and what you need doing, and we come back with a clear price in writing. Booking, confirmation and payment are all handled online too, so the only visit is the one that actually cleans your house. If you would rather just talk to a person, ring us on 0161 399 5076. Some people prefer that and it is no trouble.

We built the business after all of that, so a lot of it is just how we work rather than something we changed. Cleaners do not attend if they are unwell, and if that means we have to move your slot we will tell you straight away rather than send someone anyway. Nobody needs to be in the house while we work if you would rather not be, we can arrange access and let ourselves in. Surfaces that get touched constantly, so switches, handles, taps and door frames, are part of the standard checklist rather than an extra. And if you want anything specific doing differently, masks, ventilation, a particular product, just say when you book and we will pass it to your cleaner.
