Review:
“Faadumo was a fantastic cleaner; she didn't waste time like some cleaners do, and she didn't get upset when you told her anything needed more attention. She handled the cleaning as if she is t cleaning her own house. I am really pleased with her and will undoubtedly refer her to others who, like me, are clean freaks but have never found someone who can meet their needs. Gratitude once more Faadumo ❤️.”

“Excellent and efficient clean! Her service was worth me waiting for her return and somehow she's done an even better job than before. I definitely advise you booking her if you want a 5 star finish!.”
