Not included by default

Some homes need more than a hourly cleaning.

Detailed, inside and specialist tasks sit outside the core Hourly House Cleaning. Many can be added separately, while heavy buildup may require a Deep Clean instead.

Optional extra

Inside Oven

A detailed clean of the accessible oven interior, including racks, trays and built-up cooking residue, so the appliance feels fresh and ready for everyday use.

Optional extra

Inside Fridge

We wipe accessible shelves, drawers, door compartments and interior surfaces after the fridge has been emptied, leaving a clean space for your groceries.

Optional extra

Interior Windows

A careful clean of accessible internal glass, frames and sills to lift everyday fingerprints, dust and marks while improving the natural light in each room.

Optional extra

Dishes

We wash, dry and put away the dishes left in the sink or on the bench, helping return the kitchen to a calm, usable state after your clean.

Optional extra

Clean Balcony

We sweep and wipe accessible balcony floors, rails and surfaces to remove dust, leaves and everyday outdoor buildup, leaving the area neat and inviting.

Optional extra

Change Bed Linen

We strip and remake accessible beds using the fresh linen you provide, so each room is reset with a crisp, comfortable finish after the service.

Optional extra

Clean Walls

We spot-clean accessible wall marks, scuffs and fingerprints where suitable, focusing on visible areas that benefit most from a brighter, more cared-for finish.

Optional extra

Wet Wipe Window Blinds

We carefully wet-wipe accessible blind slats one at a time to reduce settled dust and surface grime, helping the window area look cleaner and feel fresher.

Optional extra

Inside All Other Cabinets

We wipe the empty, accessible interiors of other cabinets, drawers and storage areas, removing dust and loose debris so they are ready to organise again.

Optional extra

Inside Kitchen Cabinets

We wipe the empty, accessible interiors of kitchen cupboards and drawers, paying attention to shelves and corners so your food-storage spaces feel clean and ready to use.

Featured extra

Carpet Clean

Our carpet steam-cleaning extra gives carpeted rooms a more thorough refresh than routine vacuuming. We treat the accessible carpet area to lift embedded dirt, everyday odours and surface marks, then leave you with practical drying guidance so the space can be used again once the fibres are fully dry.

  • 1–3 hrstypical treatment time depending on access
  • 2-room minimumper booking
  • 6–12 hourstypical drying time
Ideal for odours, high-traffic areas and seasonal refreshes.

Send us photos or details of the area and we can confirm the appropriate scope before booking.
