Katarzyna

Kat is one of our most enthusiastic and experienced Housekeepers. She came to London from Poland seven years ago with friends. She has previously spent time working as a chef, so knows all about messy kitchens and how to make them sparkle! Kat loves being part of the Housekeep team, and passes on great ideas on how to improve cleaning, the best products to use, and keeps the customer at the forefront of her mind.

“Absolutely brilliant. Lovely service, kind cleaner and very quick. Loved the chocolates too!” – Maida Vale

Michela

Michela was a hotel Housekeeper and waitress in Italy (which means she makes great homemade pasta!) then worked in London as part of a team servicing apartments. Her seven years of experience and 5 star standards has made her a great addition to the Housekeep team. Having picked up the sport in London parks, Michela is also our only rollerblading Housekeeper!

Aminata

Aminata is a first year psychology student from Sierra Leone and is taking a few years off from her studies to work in the UK. She already has a few years experience in cleaning homes and commercial properties in London, and started working with Housekeep recently. She enjoys having the flexibility to pick which days of week she wants to work and likes to keep her evenings free. This means that she has plenty of time to spend with her family or, depending on her mood, to head out dancing with her friends!

“Great job! If anyone needs a cleaner in London contact Housekeep! Also thanks for the chocolate.” – Canary Wharf

Maria

Maria has been with Housekeep from the very beginning! She was out on the road with our founder on our first ever jobs and has since helped to develop our cleaning process and has shared countless hints and tips. Maria is also a full time Mum and spends her weekends cheering on her sports star son in athletics, badminton, volleyball and more.

“Excellent - very impressed. Came back to a lovely, tidy and clean-smelling flat. Thanks to Maria and thanks for the chocolate. Best clean ever!” – Old Street

Varsha

Having lived in London for 11 years, Varsha is used to multitasking - she previously cleaned homes for private clients, worked in a local shop and was bringing up her family! Family is very important to Varsha and working with Housekeep lets her spend valuable time with her children as they grow up. Varsha has hopes of opening her own cleaning company once her children are older – so learning the ropes with Housekeep will definitely help!

“Just came home to a beautifully clean house. There's really nothing for me to do except sit back and enjoy it. Thanks!” – Hackney central

Rimante

Rima came to London from Lithuania a couple of years ago, and is our most academic housekeeper - she’s studying Russian and will be starting a psychology degree later this year! Rima has already spent time cleaning at a top hotel, so knows how to add those extra special touches when cleaning your home. She enjoys the flexibility of working with Housekeep, which means she’s always got time for extra studies and a yoga session, and is set to be one of our star housekeepers!

“Rima came prepared and was very professional. My flat was spotless at the end as there is a good process in place.”

How it works

What gets cleaned?

Your Housekeeper can provide a regular cleaning service, which includes cleaning throughout and also tidying up. In the kitchen, your cleaner will empty the washing machine, put away clean dishes, wash dirty dishes, scrub the cooker, countertops and sink, then vacuum and mop. In the bathrooms, your cleaner will scrub and polish the bath and basin, disinfect the toilet, tidy up, and then vacuum and mop. In the bedrooms, your cleaner will dust, tidy and remake your bed or change your sheets as you request. Finally, in the communal areas, your cleaner will dust, tidy and then vacuum and mop throughout. Your cleaner will also empty all your bins and can take care of any special requests too. Please note, the Housekeepers available do not offer end-of-tenancy or deep cleans at the moment.

What about cleaning products?

Your Housekeeper can provide cleaning products (for a charge £2.50/visit), but you’re also welcome to provide your own if you prefer. Your Housekeeper will just need a vacuum, mop and bucket.

Can I make special requests or order additional services?

Absolutely! We will give you a call before your first clean to talk through any special requests, how to lock up and anything else. Your Housekeeper can also offer extra services to you, which you can request through your member login. Extra services include ironing, laundry, oven cleaning, fridge cleaning and indoor window cleaning. There’s more coming soon!
