What home cleaning services do you provide?

Clean Natural only provide domestic home cleaning services for residential properties. We clean apartments and houses. Our home cleaning services include regular (weekly/fortnightly/monthly), one-off and express services.

Currently, we do not provide commercial, After Builders, Deep/Spring Cleaning, End of Tenancy, carpet, upholstery and window cleaning (outside) services.

Who are the cleaners?

We carefully select our self-employed Cleaner Contractors, with at least 6-month experience working as a cleaner. All Cleaners go thorough right-to-work and reference checks, so you can have a peace of mind. 

Each cleaner is also interviewed in person to make sure that we provide cleaners with the right attitude.

All cleaners earn a minimum of £13/hour, as it is very important for us that our high standard cleaners are appropriately compensated for their hard work.

Can I choose which day of the week I need a cleaner?

Yes. You can let us know when you require the cleaner’s services and we schedule it accordingly. In case your cleaner is not available due to sickness or holiday, we will send an alternative one.

Can I meet the cleaner first?

It is always better to book a cleaner for a cleaning session, so you can evaluate her work and make a decision based on that if she is suitable for your cleaning requirements. Only meeting a Cleaner would not be enough to see whether you are a good fit. However, if you need a regular weekly cleaning service, upon request we might be able to arrange a meeting with the cleaner at your home at a pre-agreed time before your first cleaning session. 

How can I reschedule or cancel my booked cleaning session?

Please, contact Clean Natural as soon as possible, if you want to reschedule or cancel your home cleaning session. To avoid a cancellation fee, contact us at least 48 hours before is due to reschedule or cancel any booked cleaning. In case you would like to cancel or reschedule your session less than 48 hours before is due, you will still be charged 50% of the amount of your session to compensate us and the cleaner for the missed opportunity to take on other cleaning order.

When rescheduling your regular booking, we will check the availability of your current cleaner and see if they can come at your requested time. We will arrange for another Cleaner for you, if your current Cleaner is not available.

Do you provide cleaning services for bank holidays or weekends? Is there any extra charge?

We provide residential home cleaning services every day of the year except Christmas Day (25/12). Our cleaning prices are the same regardless if it is weekend or bank holiday.

What are the working hours of the cleaners?

Normally our full-time Cleaners work between 7:00 am to 19:00 pm every day of the year except Christmas Day. All cleaning services are subject to availability.
