When you book in, we'll recommend the duration based upon the size of your home - but it's up to you how long you book for.
For all cleans, a minimum booking time of 2.0 hours applies to ensure Housekeepers can earn well and cover their costs.
Here's some more information to help you book the right amount of time.
General cleaning
We recommend 2 hours of cleaning for a 1-bed, 1-bath property. For each additional room we recommend an extra 30 minutes, e.g. a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom property would take 3.5 hours.
If you don't want every room cleaned, you can reduce the length of your cleans and leave instructions for your Housekeeper about the areas that you would like prioritised. Here's some more info on leaving instructions: How do I add instructions for my Housekeeper?
Ironing
We estimate your Housekeeper can iron between 5-10 shirts per hour.
Laundry
We recommend booking an additional 0.5 hours to allow for loading and hanging.
Indoor window cleaning
We recommend 1-2 hours depending on the size of property.
Inside fridge cleaning
Housekeepers can be expected to clean a half fridge in 0.5 hours. Please note that your Housekeeper is unable to clean the freezer unless fully defrosted before their arrival.
Inside oven cleaning
We recommend that you book an hour for an inside oven clean.
If you book in an oven clean you'll need to provide oven cleaner & gloves. Please note, we recommend lighter cleaners rather than industrial oven cleaner which could damage your kitchen.
