DEFINITION

What is Domestic Cleaning?

Domestic cleaning is the regular or one-off professional cleaning of a private home. Typical scope covers kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways, stairs, and home offices. Tasks include dusting, vacuuming, mopping, sanitising surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, tidying, and taking out the rubbish. Care N Tidy domestic cleaners bring their own eco-safe products and HEPA-filtered commercial vacuums to every visit.

A domestic cleaner is different from a commercial cleaner (who cleans business premises under RAMS and COSHH contracts) and different from a housekeeper (a full-time or live-in household manager with a wider remit). Our domestic service is scheduled weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or as a one-off, with the same cleaner assigned to your home every visit.

CLIENT VOICES

What UK Families Say About Our Home Cleaning

"Same cleaner every Wednesday morning for the last eight months. Knows the kids, knows the dog, remembers which cupboards are off-limits because of the toddler. House feels calm every week, not just clean. Worth every penny."

, K.S., Busy Family, London SW

"After my surgery I needed the flat sanitised to hospital standard before the kids came home from my sister's. Care N Tidy came within 24 hours, used hospital-grade products that were safe for me to breathe, and the flat smelled fresh, not chemical. Peace of mind I couldn't have cleaned myself."

, E.M., Post-Surgery Deep Clean, Edinburgh

"Two dogs, one cat, three kids, four years of pet hair. My asthma was getting worse and I blamed the house. Care N Tidy came fortnightly with HEPA vacuums and eco products. Three months in, my peak flow is up, the house smells neutral, and the cleaner knows all three dogs by name."

, R.T., Pet Household with Asthma, Coventry CV5

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

25 answers for UK homeowners, renters, and families.

What is domestic cleaning?
Domestic cleaning is the regular or one-off professional cleaning of private homes. It typically covers kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways, and home offices, with tasks including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, sanitising surfaces, and tidying. Care N Tidy assigns the same DBS-checked cleaner to your home on every visit.
What does domestic cleaning include?
A standard Care N Tidy domestic clean covers dusting, vacuuming carpets, mopping hard floors, kitchen surfaces and sink, bathroom sanitation, toilet cleaning, wiping high-touch points, bin emptying, and general tidying. Optional add-ons include laundry, ironing, bed-linen change, interior window cleaning, inside-fridge, and inside-oven.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a deep clean?
A regular clean handles the visible maintenance of a home: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, surface wiping, bathroom, kitchen, tidying. A deep clean adds work that is not done every visit: behind and under furniture, inside cupboards, limescale removal, grout scrubbing, oven exterior, hob and extractor, appliance surfaces, skirting boards, door frames, light fittings. Most homes need a deep clean once or twice a year.
What is the difference between domestic and commercial cleaning?
Domestic cleaning covers private homes, typically weekly or fortnightly, daytime, with eco products. Commercial cleaning covers business premises with RAMS and COSHH documentation, runs out-of-hours, uses industrial equipment, and involves key-holding and multi-site contracts. Care N Tidy offers both under separate pages.
What is the difference between a housekeeper and a domestic cleaner?
A housekeeper is typically a full-time or live-in role with a wider remit (cleaning plus laundry, cooking, shopping, household management). A domestic cleaner visits on a regular schedule (weekly, fortnightly, monthly) and focuses on cleaning. Care N Tidy provides domestic cleaners with optional laundry and ironing add-ons, not full housekeeping.
How long does a typical home clean take?
A 1-bed flat takes 2 to 3 hours, a 2-bed house 3 to 4 hours, a 3-bed house 4 to 5 hours, a 4-bed house 5 to 6 hours. Deep cleans take 1.5 to 2x longer than regular cleans. We can dispatch teams of 2 for faster same-day results on bigger homes.
What areas of the home do you clean?
Every room: kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living room, dining room, hallways, stairs, home offices, utility rooms, conservatories. Let us know your priority rooms on booking and we tailor the visit accordingly.
What will a cleaner do in 2 hours?
A 2-hour clean typically covers a kitchen reset (30 min), one bathroom (30 min), and living-area dust, vacuum, and mop (60 min). Ideal for a weekly maintenance clean on a 1-bed or small 2-bed property. Larger scope needs 3 or 4 hours, or we dispatch two cleaners.
What will a cleaner do in 3 hours?
A 3-hour clean covers kitchen (45 min including appliances), two bathrooms (60 min), living and bedrooms dust and vacuum (60 min), and floors mopped (15 min). Ideal for fortnightly 2- or 3-bed cleans. Teams of two can compress 6 hours of work into 3 hours on site.
Is 2 hours enough to clean a house?
For a small 1-bed flat, yes. For a 2-bed it covers the essentials but leaves less time for detail work. For 3-bed and above, 2 hours is tight, we recommend 3 to 4 hours or a two-person team. We can book a trial visit and adjust.
Do you offer one-off cleans or is it a subscription?
Both. One-off cleans for spring cleans, post-party resets, pre-viewing preparation, or after-illness sanitation. Recurring subscriptions (weekly, fortnightly, monthly) for ongoing household maintenance. No long-term contracts, cancel or pause any time with 24 hours notice.
Do you offer after-party or emergency clean response?
Yes. Rapid-response same-day or next-day cleans for post-event resets, emergency visits before hosting, or urgent tidy-ups. WhatsApp us with your postcode and availability, we respond within two hours during working hours.
Are your domestic cleaners DBS-checked and insured?
Yes. Every Care N Tidy domestic cleaner is DBS-screened, reference-checked, and covered by full public liability insurance. We run a five-stage vetting process before any cleaner enters a client's home.
Can I request the same cleaner each visit?
Yes. For all recurring plans (weekly, fortnightly, monthly), we assign the same cleaner to your home every visit, so they learn your preferences, your pets, and your routine. A named backup cleaner covers during holidays or sickness.
How do you handle my keys and home security?
Strict key-holding protocol: signed chain-of-custody, secure locked storage, team-lead-only access, and an audit trail of every pickup and return. For alarm-protected homes we handle the alarm code confidentially and only share with your assigned cleaner.
Are your cleaning products safe for children, pets, and asthmatics?
Yes. We use plant-based, biodegradable, low-toxicity detergents. Safe for babies, toddlers, pets, pregnant women, asthmatics, and chemically-sensitive residents. HEPA vacuums trap allergens at 0.3 microns. Suitable for post-illness households including immunocompromised residents.
Do I need to provide cleaning products or equipment?
No. We bring everything: eco-safe detergents, commercial HEPA vacuums, mops, cloths, and waste bags. If you have a preferred product (e.g. a specific floor cleaner for hardwood) let us know and we will use it.
Do you offer laundry and ironing as add-ons?
Yes. Laundry and ironing are optional add-ons priced per bundle (roughly 60 to 90 minutes of additional cleaner time). Bundle with any regular clean or book as a one-off. We wash, dry (where machines are available), and iron to your preference.
Can you change bed linen during the clean?
Yes. Bed-linen change is an included add-on. Leave fresh linen on the bed, we strip, remake, and bag the used linen for your laundry or ours (if laundry add-on is booked).
How much does domestic cleaning cost in the UK?
Domestic cleaning in the UK is priced per job, not per hour. Cost depends on property size (bedrooms and bathrooms), cleaning frequency (weekly cheaper than one-off), and scope (regular vs deep, with vs without add-ons). Request a free quote with your postcode and property details, we respond within two hours.
What is the average hourly rate for domestic cleaners UK?
We quote per visit rather than per hour because hourly rates penalise careful work. UK domestic cleaning rates vary by region, cleaner experience, insurance status, and products included. Our fixed per-visit quotes cover DBS-checked staff, insurance, eco products, and our re-clean guarantee.
How much is a cleaner per hour in London?
London cleaning prices depend on postcode zone (Central vs outer), property size, and scope. We do not publish a fixed London hourly rate because each property is different. Share your postcode and bedroom count, we return a tailored London domestic cleaning quote the same day.
How much is a cleaner per hour in Edinburgh?
Edinburgh domestic cleaning is quoted per visit. Factors include bedroom count, bathroom count, access (tenement walk-ups take longer), pets, and any add-ons. Request a free Edinburgh cleaning quote and we respond within two hours.
How much is a cleaner per hour in Glasgow?
Glasgow domestic cleaning is quoted per visit rather than by the hour, because scope and frequency affect value more than time alone. Share your postcode and property details, we send a tailored Glasgow domestic cleaning quote the same working day.
How much does it cost to clean a 3-bedroom house in the UK?
Cost varies by region, property condition, frequency, and scope. A 3-bed house on a weekly clean costs less per visit than a one-off deep clean of the same home. Request a free quote with your postcode and any specific rooms or add-ons, we respond within two hours with your tailored figure.
Is 20 pounds an hour a lot for a cleaner?
For a DBS-checked, insured, professionally-vetted cleaner with their own kit and eco products, 20 pounds an hour is within the UK norm. Cash-in-hand cleaners often charge less but without insurance or guarantee. Care N Tidy quotes per visit not per hour, so you see the total cost before you book.
