We are all so busy, living life to the full can mean that household chores are the last things to be done, so why not use a cleaning service? Smart Maid is a small family business, established late last year. They are high in demand for their household services in London and hope to expand to other parts of the country.  A large range of services are available: Ironing Services; Maintenance Services; Dog Walking; Pet Sitting & Pet Day care; Shopping; Meal Preparation; Gardening; which may be booked online.

They use a combination of modern microfiber technology and a strict cleaning regime to minimise the risk of harmful bacteria’s being transported around your home.  Smart Maid offers both a budget and premier standard home cleaning service specification. We reviewed a kitchen Spring clean which included: Clean doors, clean skirting boards, clean windows-smear free, wipe window ledges, wipe radiators, wipe hob, wipe oven, wipe cupboards, wipe microwave, wipe fridge, wipe washing machine, wipe tumble dryer, wipe bin, wash up breakfast dishes, clean sink, vacuum floor, wipe clean floor, empty rubbish. This left me with a kitchen I was proud of,  it really did look like new.

The budget clean for the Living Room would include: Wipe door, wipe clean windows-smear free, wipe window ledges, wipe skirting boards, polish brass, wipe radiators, vacuum carpets, wipe clean floor, wipe clean pictures, polish handrails, wipe clean mirrors-smear free, wipe clean fireplace, wipe tables, dust chairs, vacuum three piece suite, buff brass/sliver, empty rubbish, clean pictures, make beds, turn mattress, change bed linen, dust surfaces, dust exterior of cupboards.

For a service that includes insurance, police and criminal record checks and validating referees, this means clients can rest assured that they are getting a trustworthy person in their household. They will need three to four hours for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom house with prices starting at as little as £10 per hour.

Smart Maid also offer an end of tenancy service, which allows tenants moving out of a property to book Smart Maid from as little as £200  to stage a guaranteed deep clean in order for them to get back their deposits when they vacate.
