2) Consulation

Is consultation necessary?

This would be up to you to decide! Please feel free to let us know if you do not require the consultation session.

What is the consultation about?

During the consultation, we would orientate and familiarise ourselves with your home, taking notes of any special cleaning request. We will also take note of any requests you have for the cleaning service for example; exclusion of cleaning of an antique chair or even a sentimental vase.

3) Cleaning

Do I need to be at home?

It is totally up to you.

What tools do I need?

Check out cleaning set. If you do not have it, we can always bring it for you.

Can I engage the same cleaner for routine?

Yes it is highly recommended!

How is routine different from Ad-hoc?

It depends on what your needs are. If you need to clean your house regularly and have no time to do so, sign up for our Routine Cleaning. If you need just a one-time assistance to clean your house, you purchase the ad-hoc cleaning service.

What happens after the 4 sessions of routine cleaning?

You can choose to extend the package by another 4 sessions by cheque or funds transfer.

What is customised?

Since we adopt a consultative approach, we can do unique projects too! Let us know your special request and we will give you our proposal.
