We’re in Honor Oak and use Molly Maid. Unfortunately after a bright start, they’re not all they’ve cracked up to be.
The biggest issue is that they’re double the price of a normal cleaner (£68 rather than £33 for a few hours at our small terrace). For that price they need to do a good job. When they decide to do the clean properly, it’s worth it and it feels you get what you pay for.
When they don’t, which became the norm after the first few visits (despite our attempts to flag it up), it’s a poor service for a ludicrous price. Last week: all bins emptied into the recycling, didn’t clean the floor properly, didn’t wipe food off the kitchen worktop, refuse to clean the kids’ little step-stool as a point of principle.
On balance, given they’re twice as expensive as everyone else and not reliably any better, it’s not worth it and we’ve “agreed to part ways”…
Hi my name ir mara im a cleaner with 20 yeasr experience and im looking fir extra hours of cleaning and iron i can suply references upon request, if interested please call mo no 07828169496
+1 for Jane Jefferson. Responsive by email, convenient payment (via DD/SO rather than cash), not cheap but have tiered pricing to allow you to pay London Living Wage if you choose. The quality of the clean inevitably depends on the cleaner but we’ve had two cleaners from there who have been really good, despite our mildly OCD standards!
great Ive been thinking of getting a cleaner.
Finances allowing because I’m finding it increasingly hard with both of us working long hours full time to spend every day off just cleaning, Its also something I’m a little nervous about but Jane Jefferson sound just what Im after
Hello.
My name is Vania and I’m looking for a couple of hours doing cleaning/ironing.
I’m a recent mum and unfortunately I had to leave my job as they didn’t give me flexible hours so we are struggling a bit with the bills. I can provide references as I did cleaning services to private houses when I came to live in London.
Cleaner/ Ironing lady/Gardener and Dog/cat Care Recommendation
I highly recommend my cleaner of over 8 years, whom also does ironing, gardening, cat/ dog care. Extremely Reasonable rates and works very hard to high standards. I think she may have a few hours avaible, Contact number 07376-462643
Hi there, I’m looking for someone to provide some much needed back up (I will be here too) with cleaning, tidying and childcare, from 5-7pm 4/5 nights a week in Honor Oak Park. Some experience working with children and cleaning necessary, £10 per hour. I have an 8 month old and a 4 year old and our house is busy and fun at that time of day! If you are interested (or can recommend someone) please message me. Many thanks
Our cleaner is going on a holiday for a month so we’d like to use a service to fill the gap. I appreciate the multiple recommendations for Jane Jefferson but they cannot help out during the Christmas season.
Anyone have other good or bad experiences with services like Molly Maid?
Any experience out there use Get Set Clean? This looks like a service similar to Task Rabbit which for a fee farms out to independent workers.
We use these guys for cleaning and have a weekly cleaner via them for nearly a year. Really pleased with the standard of our cleaner and there is always a back stop of the agency if you’re not happy (although not had to use).
We just had our second visit by Bianca who works for Get Set Clean. We’ve been very happy with their service. Bianca has done an excellent job and we have her coming for a couple more weeks. Get Set Clean also have a great app which you can track the jobs you book and communicate with the cleaners. But they are equally good in communicating by email and responding to specific needs.
While we will return to our regular cleaner (of 15 years) when she is back from her holiday, I’d have not problem in recommending Get Set Clean for occasional jobs, holiday cover or probably something more permanent.
As a guideline we are paying £12.50 an hour. There are options to add on extras such as ironing.
Hi there, we are looking for a cleaner, and I realise this is an old post, but is yours still in the area and working? We are in Paxton Road in Forest Hill.
