- £0 in fees from us
- Your days, your hours
Self-employed, with the households found for you
You stay self-employed. We find the households and meet them at home first. When you're away, we try to arrange cover from other cleaners in the network.
Around the school run
Clean between drop-off and pick-up, and take the holidays off when you want them.
Alongside another job
A few regular cleans on your free days, for steady extra income.
Growing your own round
Fill the quiet days in your week and keep the clients you already have.
From the phone call to your first client
It usually takes two to three weeks. There’s one visit, a morning or afternoon where we meet you and you do your paid trial clean.
- A chat on the phone. If your application looks like a fit, we’ll invite you for a chat.
- Meet us, then your paid trial clean, in one visit. About an hour on an agreed part of the home, paid at £20 an hour on the day, whatever the outcome. No insurance or DBS check needed yet. Both come after the trial, once we’re going ahead.
- We take your references while you apply for your DBS check. Two references from a cleaning client, an employer, or someone you’ve worked for regularly. Family don’t count. You apply for a basic DBS check yourself and we put £25 towards your setup costs. If yours is in date, we just take a copy.
- Sign the agreement, sort your insurance, confirm your UTR and bank details. You’ll need public liability insurance before your first introduction.
Our charter
1We publish the split
Households pay £25 an hour. £20 is the cleaner's, and our £5 fee is a separate payment. The whole split sits on our Pricing page for anyone to read.
2You’re paid directly, and we never charge you
Clients pay you directly, into your own account, and we never charge you: no joining fee, commission, subscription or lead fee.
3Your business stays yours
You set your own days and hours and can turn down any job. You can also keep your own clients alongside ours.
4When something goes wrong, we share the cost
On cleans we've arranged, we pay your insurance excess. A mistake shouldn't cost you a week's earnings.
5Time off without losing your clients
When you're away, we try to arrange cover and brief the cover cleaner from our notes, so your clients stay with you.
If we ever fall short of this charter, tell us, and we'll put it right.
