What Services Do the Cleaners Provide?
We offer three types of cleaning service. A standard clean, which is a lighter clean that covers all the important areas of the house, perfect if you book a regular clean with us. The Deep Clean is a more thorough clean which we recommend if your house hasn’t been cleaned professionally in the last three months. We can also offer you do move in/move out cleans which includes the spot cleaning of all walls and cleaning inside all of your cupboards. We can also offer you extra cleaning services.
How Do I Know What's Been Cleaned?
All of our cleaners work with a checklist that we guarantee to complete. They work through your home, ticking off the tasks as they complete them. Once they have finished all of the tasks on the checklist they leave the checklist behind for you. That way you can be confident that all of the tasks have been completed to the highest Town Mountain Maids standard.
What is a Deep Clean?
The Triple Crown Clean is for first-time customers or customers who haven’t had their home professionally cleaned in the last three months. To see the extra things we do for super cleans, check our services page.
Do You Offer End of Tenancy Cleanings?
Of course we do! At Town Mountain Maids, we call end of tenancy cleans move in/move out cleans because sometimes you need a really thorough clean when you are moving into a new home. Our cleaners work to a check list for move in/move out cleans which includes spot cleaning all the walls and cleaning inside all the cupboards but if there is a specific task you want your cleaning team to focus on then please let us know.
Why Do You Charge a Flat Rate?
We charge a flat rate price per number of bedrooms rather than per hour, this means that you know exactly what we promise to provide, and our cleaners keep working until the job is done. As our cleaner cleans to a checklist you know exactly what is included in the price. It really is that simple!
