Sometimes new customers’ homes are already beautifully maintained and don’t require a Spring Clean before a Regular Clean begins. For these A* customers we instead carry out an Initial Clean before a Regular Clean commences.
This type of clean lies somewhere between a Spring Clean and a Regular Clean with staff using their discretion to apply more elbow grease where needed, but otherwise carrying out the duties of a Regular Clean. Once finished, your home will be as spotless as any customer’s who receives a Spring Clean.
