Arrived on time and efficiently cleaned the agreed areas in the allotted time. He was also patient while I went to the shops to purchase a decent mop, during which time he hoovered. Would book again.

Sweet personality, warm and friendly. My first time using a cleaning service and Gifty made me feel at ease. I loved her attention to detail, especially with keeping cleaning cloths seperate for cleaning zones. Her service is customer-focused and her standard of cleaning is high level. Thank you Gifty.
