Mohammed is the best! He's such a great help. The clean is great, so fast and thorough. He does more in 2 hours than I could do in 8?!

Yirgalem did a fantastic job cleaning my flat. Everything was spotless, including my fridge! She was very friendly and made me feel completely at ease throughout. Overall, I’m very happy with her work and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a thorough and considerate cleaner.

Yirgalem did a great job. Booked 3h for 1Br + windows and fridge. She didn't do the fridge but was thorough with all the rest so I'm happy and it is such a pleasure to have a cleaner that pays attention to the details and to have a flat cleaned by a real pro much better than I would do.

We are absolutely thrilled with the cleaning service we received. Elsa did a truly phenomenal deep clean, honestly, the house was in quite a state when she arrived, and she left it absolutely sparkling. We felt a bit bad about the initial mess, but Elsa was so professional and thorough, and we can’t thank her enough. We’re really looking forward to having her back every other week. Highly recommend Elsa to anyone looking for top-notch cleaning and a warm a friendly persons as well —thank you so much Elsa!

“It's a big house and her first time here and I think she did a really good job in the time she had. Bathrooms , bedrooms nice and clean. Just think she needed more time in the kitchen for the back splashes etc but I think it was just a matter of needing some more time. But great overall. Thank you Ioana.”
