The cleaner was really good and i m happy woth her service. However, she arrived at 3:30 pm and left at 7:20 PM. She stayed less than 4h because she was done with the service and i feel i shouldnt pay for more than 4h.

“Great clean with Bess. She focused on areas that really needed the work, going slightly over the time allocated but still committing to finishing the job which we really appreciated. Finishing maternity leave and returning back to work it's been a struggle to keep on top of the housework and I feel like she's given me a bit of sanity back! Bathrooms are spotless and she was very polite and friendly..”
