When seeking a house cleaning service, it’s crucial that you find reliable and skilled professionals who can offer the sort of comfort and cleanliness you’d expect.

Understanding Your House Cleaning Needs
Before you get someone in, stop for a second. Think about what needs doing. Not a big formal list. Just the tasks that have been annoying you when you walk past them. Maybe the house feels a bit grubby. Perhaps it’s only a couple of rooms that need dealing with.
You don’t have to overthink it, but a few things are worth keeping in mind:
- Are you after a quick freshen-up, or does it need a thorough scrub in places?
- Is this a one-off clearout, or do you want someone popping in each week?
- Any jobs you keep pretending you’ll “do at the weekend”, like ovens, showers, that corner behind the sofa.
- Extras like windows, carpets, or bits outside that you never quite get round to.
- Rooms that seem to explode into chaos no matter how often you tidy them.
Every cleaner does things their own way. Some stick to basic weekly cleans. Some do deep cleans only. Others will do a mix. If in doubt, ask. That way, you’re not guessing what’s included.
Once you’ve worked out the main things you want help with (even if it’s just a rough idea), the whole chat with the cleaner becomes easier. They can tell you what’s possible, how long it’ll take, and what they can do for you.

Finding a Local House Cleaner on MyJobQuote
You’ll be glad to know that MyJobQuote offers a couple of ways to find house cleaners near you.
Here's what to do:
- Enter your postcode to bring up cleaners who cover your area.
- Select the type of cleaning you’re after (e.g. one-off tidy, deep clean, regular weekly visit).
- Choose the rooms or areas you want help with, such as bathrooms, the kitchen, or whole-house cleaning.
- Pick the job description that matches your situation best (e.g. end-of-tenancy, post-renovation, general clean).
- Use the text box to add a short note about anything specific, like oven cleaning or dust-heavy rooms.
- Upload photos if there’s anything you want the cleaner to see upfront.
- Choose your budget from the options shown.
- Pick a timeframe that suits you (anything from “ASAP” to a set date).
- Enter your contact details and wait for local house cleaners to get in touch.
When you check a cleaner’s MyJobQuote profile first, you save yourself a lot of guesswork. You see real feedback from homeowners who’ve already hired them.
Check House Cleaner Credentials
Cleaning work in homes doesn’t usually need formal licences like gas or electrical work does. That being said, there are still a few things that show you’re choosing someone who takes their work seriously.
So, before you book anyone, take a minute to find out whether or not they’re genuinely experienced.
- Basic training in cleaning or housekeeping (some cleaners complete short courses in hygiene, COSHH, or general cleaning techniques).
- Experience working in homes rather than just commercial spaces, as the approach can be very different.
- Public liability insurance, so you’re covered if anything goes wrong or gets broken while they’re working.
- A MyJobQuote profile with real reviews, ratings, and photos showing the kind of jobs they’ve done before.
Your best guide is how other homeowners rate them. Have a look through the cleaner’s MyJobQuote profile. It’s the easiest way to see if they’re reliable, careful, and consistent.
House Cleaner Recommendations
Along with using MyJobQuote to find local house cleaning companies or using the quote form, you may also want to ask for recommendations from people you know.
So, touch base with friends, family or neighbours. Getting personal recommendations can prove invaluable. After all, since people are unlikely to recommend a house cleaner unless they had a positive experience, referrals can lead to reliable services.
That is to say, you’ll want to make sure they can offer the right methods and supplies for the job at hand or/and to your preferences.
You may have specific preferences that only certain house cleaning companies can meet (for example, eco-friendly products or products without certain allergens). So be sure to talk through any expectations you have about methods and supplies with the house cleaning service you’d like to hire.
Clarify the Contract With Your House Cleaner
Once you’ve found a cleaner you like, request a written service agreement. It doesn’t need to be pages long, just something in writing so you both know what’s included and what isn’t.
A quick chat beforehand helps too. Talk through the jobs you want doing, how often you’d like them done, and whether there are any extras that might cost a bit more.
Most cleaning services keep things simple. However, a written note makes it even easier. It should cover:
- A simple breakdown of the cost (e.g. what will you be paying for?).
- A clear list of the rooms or tasks included in each visit.
- How and when they expect payment.
- Any add-ons you’ve asked for, like oven cleaning or inside windows.
- Details of anything they don’t cover.
Monitor the House Cleaning Process
It’s a good idea to keep an eye on things at first, especially if you’ve hired a cleaner for regular visits (weekly or monthly). Being around for the first few sessions helps you both get on the same page.
Whatever the setup, make sure you explain what you expect and share any feedback if something isn’t quite right. Checking in now and then, especially early on, helps make sure your standards are met.
That said, you don’t need to stand over them. A quick check at the start and the end of a clean is usually enough without getting in their way.
What Can a House Cleaning Company Do?
A house cleaner will normally carry out the following tasks when giving your home a clean:
- Weekly tidy-ups (hoovering, surface wiping, and general cleaning).
- Deep cleans for when everything feels grubby at once and you need someone to get stuck in.
- Kitchen jobs, like cleaning the oven and wiping sticky cupboard doors.
- Bathrooms (limescale, taps, tiles, the bits no one enjoys dealing with).
- Beds changed, a bit of laundry folded, or whatever small tasks make your week less stressful.
- Windows and mirrors indoors, just to give the place a bit more light.
- Carpet or sofa cleaning if they have the equipment for it.
- Occasional “big clear-up” jobs after birthdays, visitors, or when life’s just too busy.
Your cleaner will have their own style and way of working, and may not carry out everything listed above. So check what they offer. Their profile on MyJobQuote will give you a feel for what they’re good at and what other people have hired them for.
