Domestic Cleaning

To choose a cleaning company, you need to pick one that you can trust and rely on. Research local cleaners in your area via Yell.com and read online reviews to see what their previous customers have said. Ask friends and family for recommendations of cleaning companies they have used in the past. Consider the cleaning tasks you need doing and look for cleaning companies who specialise in that particular area, for example, domestic cleaning, commercial cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning.

Most domestic cleaners will clean the outside of the oven but not the inside. Cleaning the inside of an oven is a big job and often takes specialist products, and a lot of time. Some domestic cleaners will clean ovens for an additional fee and offer it as an extra service on top of their regular cleaning. Cleaning the outside of the oven will be done as part of a regular domestic clean in the kitchen and includes the outside doors, hob and dials. 

On average, it will take 1 to 2 hours to domestic clean a house. This time is based on a one-bedroom home which is cleaned regularly. There are many factors that will impact the time it takes to domestic clean a house, including the size of the house, the condition it is in and the number of cleaners. 

Domestic cleaning in the UK costs from £10 to £20 an hour. The price will vary depending on the cleaning company you choose, the condition of the house and the location. The total domestic cleaning cost in the UK will depend on how many hours are needed to clean the property. 

The cost of residential window cleaning can start from as little as £16 for a 3 bed semi-detached house with a conservatory. The number of windows, type of property and accessibility to the windows will all impact the cost of window cleaning. When windows are particularly hard to access, for example, if they are a top floor flat, cleaners might charge an additional fee. 

The services that domestic cleaners offer will usually include dusting, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, vacuuming, mopping and emptying bins. The exact services will vary between cleaning companies and some will also include ironing, dishwashing, changing bedding and window cleaning. Depending on the company, all services may be included as standard or some may offer these as additional services for a fee. 

Yes, most cleaners will bring their own supplies, if required. This can vary depending on the cleaner but the majority of cleaning companies will bring their cleaning products and equipment with them. If you have specific cleaning products that you prefer, or you are happy for a cleaner to use your vacuum or mop, you can let them know and they will be able to accommodate this.
