What Our House Cleaning Service Includes
Our standard house cleaning visit is designed to keep your home fresh, hygienic and organised. We tailor each clean to your priorities, but as a guide we usually include:
- Dusting and wiping of all accessible surfaces, skirting boards and window sills
- Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and soft furnishings (where accessible)
- Mopping of hard floors (tiles, laminate, wood, vinyl)
- Cleaning of kitchen worktops, hobs, cupboard fronts and sinks
- Wiping of appliances' exteriors (fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher)
- Bathroom and WC cleaning – toilets, basins, taps, baths and showers
- Mirror and glass cleaning (internal, reachable areas)
- Emptying of bins and light tidying of common areas
We can also add deep cleaning tasks such as inside oven cleaning, inside fridge, internal window cleaning and limescale removal as part of a one-off or periodic deep clean.
Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Our Swiss Cottage house cleaning is flexible enough to suit a wide range of clients:
- Homeowners – regular weekly or fortnightly cleans to keep on top of dust, dirt and everyday mess.
- Renters – routine cleaning or thorough pre- and post-tenancy cleans to protect your deposit.
- Landlords – reliable turnaround cleans between tenants, including common areas and furnished properties.
- Businesses – light domestic-style cleaning for home offices, studios and small commercial premises in residential buildings.
- Students – shared house and flat cleans, including one-off end-of-tenancy cleans before check-out.
Whether you need a one-off deep clean or a regular cleaning schedule, we build the service around your home, your lifestyle and your budget.
Local Expertise in Swiss Cottage
Cleaners Swiss Cottage is a locally focused company, not a call centre miles away. Our teams work in and around Swiss Cottage every day, so we understand the typical layouts and cleaning challenges of:
- Mansions blocks and portered buildings
- Period conversions and Victorian terraces
- Modern flats and new-build developments
- Shared student houses and HMOs
Being local means we can offer prompt, reliable arrival times and flexible scheduling, including mornings, afternoons and selected weekends. If public transport or parking is an issue where you live, we already know how to work around it.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Start by contacting our office by phone, email or via our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of rooms, type of flooring and the level of cleaning you require. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the hourly rate or fixed price, what is included, and any optional extras we recommend.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For standard weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, a short virtual survey (photos or video) is usually enough to confirm the quote. For larger homes or deep cleans, we may suggest an onsite visit in Swiss Cottage to assess specific areas, access and parking. This helps us allocate the right number of professional cleaners and the correct time so that we can complete the work properly in one visit.
3. Preparation Before the Clean
Before your appointment, we agree the date, arrival window and any particular priorities you have. We ask that you:
- Ensure someone is available to provide access, or arrange key collection in advance
- Put away valuable or fragile items you would rather we did not touch
- Advise us of any delicate surfaces or finishes that require special care
On the day, our trained cleaners arrive with all necessary products and equipment (unless you prefer we use your own). We walk through the property with you, confirm the brief, then work through an agreed checklist for each room.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning
We keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Most routine house cleaning in Swiss Cottage is charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time. Deep cleans, end-of-tenancy and one-off intensive visits are usually quoted as a fixed price based on property size, condition and access.
Your quote will always state:
- The hourly rate or fixed price
- The estimated duration and number of cleaners
- Exactly what is included in the visit
- Any optional extras and their cost
There are no hidden charges. Parking and congestion fees are discussed in advance where applicable. If, during the clean, we believe more time is genuinely needed to reach the agreed standard, we will speak to you before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?
Many clients are perfectly capable of cleaning their own homes, but professional house cleaning offers clear advantages:
- Consistent standards – trained cleaners work to a checklist and know how to clean efficiently and thoroughly.
- Time savings – free up hours each week for work, family or rest, instead of weekend scrubbing.
- Proper products and methods – we use appropriate solutions and equipment for different surfaces to avoid damage.
- Accountability – if something is missed, we put it right, which is rarely the case with DIY cleaning.
- Health benefits – regular professional cleaning can reduce dust, allergens and bacteria, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home is important, and so is your peace of mind. Cleaners Swiss Cottage operates with robust protections in place:
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property.
- Goods in transit insurance – if we transport any of your items or cleaning equipment between locations, they are covered.
- Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive thorough training in products, equipment, health & safety and safe working practices.
- Vetting and right-to-work checks for all cleaners.
We follow industry best practice for safe chemical use, colour-coded cloths and mops to reduce cross-contamination, and careful handling of your belongings. If you ever have a concern, we are easy to reach and quick to respond.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property we enter as if it were our own. That means:
- Using protective pads and care around furniture and delicate surfaces
- Avoiding abrasive products on sensitive materials such as natural stone and lacquered wood
- Keeping doors and windows secure while we work
We are also committed to a more sustainable way of working. Wherever possible, we use environmentally considerate products, efficient equipment and sensible water usage. If you prefer entirely eco-friendly products, we can usually accommodate this – just let us know when you book.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Swiss Cottage cost?
Pricing depends on property size, the level of cleaning required and how often you would like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time per visit. One-off deep cleans and end-of-tenancy cleaning are normally quoted as a fixed price after we understand the number of rooms, bathrooms and overall condition. We provide clear written quotations before any work starts, with no hidden extras for products or equipment unless agreed in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice house cleaning in Swiss Cottage, particularly for end-of-tenancy, move-in or pre-guest cleans. Availability will depend on the time of your enquiry, the size of your property and the type of clean required. If we cannot attend the same day, we will always offer the earliest available slot and may suggest a team of two or more cleaners to complete the work quickly. Contact us as early in the day as possible for urgent requests.
Are you insured while cleaning my home?
Yes. Cleaners Swiss Cottage is fully insured. We hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage and injury, and goods in transit insurance where items or equipment need to be moved between locations. Our cleaners are also trained in safe working methods to minimise the risk of incidents in the first place. We are happy to provide details of our insurance on request, and if any issue arises during a clean, we deal with it promptly and professionally through our office.
What exactly is included in a house cleaning service?
A standard visit focuses on keeping your home hygienic and presentable: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and WC cleaning, kitchen surface and hob cleaning, bin emptying and a light tidy of main living spaces. We work to an agreed checklist so you know precisely what to expect. Deep cleaning tasks such as inside ovens, fridges, internal windows, heavy limescale removal or post-builders cleaning are not automatically included, but can be added as extras. We will go through your priorities during the quotation so the service matches your expectations.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. Deep cleans, end-of-tenancy and move-in cleans are best booked as soon as you know your dates, especially at the end of the month and during busy moving periods. That said, we always keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent jobs in Swiss Cottage, so it is still worth contacting us even at short notice to see what we can arrange.
