“All in all, very happy with the service and feel much more comfortable about who we are letting into our home. Would definitely recommend to a friend.”
“Bruce was very professional, direct and to the point and took the time to understand our needs. He introduced us to Ilona who is also very professional and takes a lot of care in her work. ”
“My cleaner has been with me for over a month now and does a thorough clean each time she comes to my requirements. I would thoroughly recommend them.”
“My cleaner Debbie is absolutely brilliant. She takes an interest in her work (and also In me) and I could not wish for a better cleaner, or person, to come into my home. ”
After seeing many of our fellow Cleanhome blogs post about Life Hacks we thought we would find some more little tricks to help.
When cleaning things in the kitchen it often happens that you’ve forgotten to replace the old scourer pads or sponges. A simple and cheap alternative to this is to use a foil ball. The rough edges will lift up stick on grime making it a very good alternative scrubbing brush.
*Only to be used on old pans & pots with no non-stick
Flowers are a lovely addition to any room of the house, left to long vases can also leave marks. These marks can be very tricky to scrub off. There is however, a simple way of stopping this happening. Our little hack is to add felt stickers, used to stop furniture from scraping the floors, to the bottom of the vases. This will raise the pot up slightly and add padding to the bottom – no more marks.
Finding which key goes in the door you want can be a repetitive and boring task. A simple way to differentiate between many different keys is to colour code them using nail varnish. The nail varnish will protect the metal underneath from rust – extra bonus! Ensure you only paint the head of the key, as you could render the key unusable.
Many houses have little scuffs and marks on the walls. A great little tip to follow once you have painted a room is to keep a little jar of the paint you used. This means you can do touch ups at any point in time if you have an accident or somehow scrape some of the paint from the wall.
We hope you find these tips helpful. Stay tuned to our blog section and social media pages for more handy little tips and tricks to use around the house.
Just to let you know we are open for business as usual and you can continue to have your cleaner clean your house.
The government has made it clear that cleaners are still permitted to work inside peoples' homes as long as Government Guidelines on social distancing and staying safe are followed (see below). In summary:
You can be outside of your home for work purposes where your place of work remains open and where you cannot work from home, including if your job involves working in other people's homes.
The full text can be found here New National Restrictions from 5 January (in England; there are similar texts available for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Specifically relating to cleaners, the guidance continues: 'This guidance applies to those working in, visiting or delivering to home environments. These include, but are not limited to, people working in the following areas:
Note this guidance is for people who are fit and well, and is dependent on the following social distancing guidelines being followed:
The good news with regard to cleaning is that the cleaners can social distance from their clients very easily, and we would advise that, if you are at home when they are there, that you remain in a separate room to your cleaner.
If you are happy to adhere to the government guidelines - and if your cleaner has not been in touch already - then please just call the office and we will ensure that your cleaning continues.
Best regards
