PERFECT TIMING
Selecting the right time for your home
It is vital to select a time block that suits your home's size, condition and budget. We train Cleanify Technicians to clean a room to a standard.
The cleaning process
In theory, the cleaning process is straightforward - remove the soiling and disinfect the surface. We remove grease, grime, mould, scum, limescale and carbon before disinfecting. If you leave the soiling on and disinfect, this only kills some topical germs and leaves the rest to replace them within seconds. Seldom does a one-step wipe over clean a well-used surface such as kitchen bench, stovetop or bathroom fitting. Therefore, removing soiling is the most time-consuming process.
During COVID, occupants rely on a cleaner to clean the everyday surfaces. We have a time recommendation list for your convenience as a reference point. Over time, it will become clear how long your home takes for the routine clean, and hopefully, this time reduces, provided that the soiling decreases.
Getting the time just right
If the workload is more significant than the time allocated, it puts stress on your cleaner and gives you a service that may not cover all of the essentials. Reducing the clean frequency and allowing adequate time to ensure that all areas are covered at least once makes a huge difference.
Another option is opting for a first time spring clean that is the double or triple time of a routine clean to address the soiling, get the home to standard, and proceed with regular cleaning afterwards to handle everyday dirt. An easy way to distinguish between everyday dirt and build-up is the length of time the soiling has been where it is.
Do we leave early?
If you have booked a 2-hour service, you will receive a 2-hour service. If the cleaning time is too long or too short, we will adjust the next booked clean with your approval.
Our cleaners are trained and work effectively and efficiently. We track our staff via GPS for the safety and logistics of our business. In addition, every home we service has a job plan that involves additional tasks for the cleaner to do if we have spare time.
