We bring all the products and equipment - which takes the hassle out remembering to stock up on JIF at your next shop and remembering vacuum bags.
We use Hepa filter high end vacuums and use biochemically friendly products; no bleach!
Not necessarily. Whilst we endeavor to provide continuity with our fully police checked, insured and trained cleaners, allocating your home to more than one of our cleaners means there is always someone who knows your home, pets, requirements etc in case of cleaners being off that work.
If you sign up for weekly or fortnightly cleans you will get a set day. Fridays are a premium day and there is often a waiting list for this day.
We cannot offer a set time for your clean as our days consist of multiple clients and things vary day to day. All regular cleans are done between 9am and 3pm. If timing is important to you please talk to us so we can help accommodate your needs.
All cleaners are local mums/ladies that are police checked, referenced and thoroughly vetted. Most have extensive backgrounds in cleaning. As its Wellington, we all know each other through the 1-degree-of-separation theory.
Most clients give us a key, that way you don't need to hang around for us. It's also handy if you lock yourself out one day, as we can pop around with the key for you!
All client keys are kept in a lock box inside our office except when cleaners need them for your house. Each key must be signed in and out each time for security.
Unfortunately we do not offer monthly cleans as we need to match up weekly and fortnightly clients.
However, booking in for a deep clean now and then is a great alternative.
Most clients prefer to pay with electronic payments, so an AP or internet payment is great.
We will provide all the details you need and request payment is made for the day of your clean as we cannot offer credit.
We have families and understand that you may not want your cleaner coming in when you or a family member is unwell. Simply call or text us as soon as possible and we can come another day.
If you are going on holiday and want to pause your cleaning, we can hold your spot for two weeks without charge.
Please give us as much notice as possible if you need to cancel/change your booking. Cancellations less than 24 hours prior to your clean require 50% payment.
Don't clean before we come! However, please do pick up and tidy up so we can access the areas needing to be cleaned.
Dishes, laundry, beds and excessive tidying fall under our house-keeper role.
We have a minimum of 2 hours and generally most homes take 2.5 hours for a one bathroom, four bedroom home.
With our long history of service we can see what you require done when you complete our booking form, then we make a plan together to suit your budget.
We offer a choice of standard grade cleaning products and commercial grade chemicals. We strive to use only cruelty free and environmentally friendly products.
Great! We are all animal lovers and pet owners. Indoor cats? No problem. Dog? Lovely, we enjoy the company and will happily let them out for the toilet etc whilst we are there.
We have full company insurance and all our staff are police checked and fully vetted.
We take pride in our company, our reputation and work ethic.
As a registered business you can have peace of mind that we are fully responsible.
Our company is run by local mums, mostly working between school hours. We pride ourselves on high standards with management carrying out random daily quality checks.
All of our cleaners are paid well above the minimum wage and provided full training, support and management guidance. We are a tight knit team who fully support each other and work together for coherence. All staff are legal NZ workers and the company is tax registered. We have Health and Safety measures and work in a professional and unified manner at all times.

• Please “pick up" as much as possible in areas you would like us to clean. This will allow us to complete the clean you requested without incurring time penalties and let us focus on detail and quality for you. To avoid possible breakages we will not clean heavily cluttered areas (shelving, countertops, etc).
• We often need a further half an hour to hour for the first few regular cleans. This is standard as we need to ‘catch up’ and create a routine.
• All cleaners keep a digital clock in/out record of their time and location.
• If you are dissatisfied with your clean, please contact management so the problem can be rectified immediately. We are always open to feedback and constructive advice.
• Managers carry out random quality checks each week so there may be an occasion where we pop by after your cleaner has completed their job just to ensure the work remains at the highest possible standard. Please advise the office is you do not want this service.
