Svetlana was punctual, very efficient and left the flat looking sparkling and shiny. She quickly learned to use the steam mop and also adhered to our request to use it without steam in the bedrooms. She was easy to communicate with and deftly moved stuff and cleaned behind and underneath them. Would highly recommend her and hope she can do a a regular shift with us.

Rashidat made her way here on a rainy bank holiday and got right to work doing a deep clean of our house after we had moved a lot and it was in quite a dirty state. We're very grateful for her work and working around the various children and family members here to prepare for a new baby. Thanks very much Rashidat.
