How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works

We follow a clear, simple process to keep things efficient and predictable.

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or via our website with some basic details: size of your property, number of bathrooms, whether you have pets, and what you would like us to focus on. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on an hourly rate with an estimated time. For one-off deep cleans, we may ask for photos or a short video.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger homes or more complex jobs, we recommend a short virtual survey via video call, or an onsite visit in Merton. This lets us assess access, parking, flooring types, and any areas needing special attention. It also gives you the chance to ask questions and agree priorities, ensuring the quote and time estimate are realistic and fair.

3. Preparation

Before our team arrives, we ask that you pick up any valuable or fragile items and secure important documents. We bring our own products and equipment as standard, but can use yours if you prefer. On the day, our trained, professional cleaners follow a structured cleaning plan, room by room, with clear start and finish times. We carry out a final check before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Merton

We prefer to keep pricing straightforward. Most domestic cleaning is charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can complete a proper clean.

• Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans – discounted hourly rates for ongoing bookings
• One-off or deep cleans – slightly higher rate due to extra time and products required
• Optional extras – oven, fridge, internal windows, inside cupboards can be added at a fixed supplement

There are no hidden charges. Any parking or congestion costs relevant to your Merton address are discussed upfront. We confirm the estimated hours before you commit, and if we feel more or less time is needed, we will discuss this with you openly.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY?

Most people can clean – but keeping a home consistently clean to a high standard takes time, the right techniques and a systematic approach. With a professional service, you benefit from:

• Consistent results – every visit follows a checklist, so important tasks aren’t forgotten.
• Time savings – free up hours each week to spend with family, on work or simply resting.
• Better methods – correct products and microfibre systems reduce damage and improve hygiene.
• Healthier home – targeted cleaning of touch points helps reduce the spread of germs.
• Peace of mind – vetted, trained cleaners who are accountable and supervised.

DIY cleaning often becomes rushed or reactive. Our role is to give you a dependable routine so your home stays under control, even when life is busy.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Letting someone into your home requires trust. Deep Cleaning Merton is fully committed to operating to professional standards.

• Public liability cover – we hold substantial public liability insurance, protecting you in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
• Goods in transit insurance – when we transport any specialist equipment or products to and from your property, they are covered while in transit.
• Trained cleaning teams – our cleaners receive hands-on training in correct product use, safe handling of equipment and respectful conduct in your home.
• Security and confidentiality – we treat your property and information with discretion and respect at all times.

We are a local Merton business, so our reputation matters. Issues are dealt with promptly and fairly, and there is always a real person you can speak to.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while caring for your home and the environment.

• Surface protection – we match products to surfaces to avoid dulling, scratching or staining, especially on natural stone, wood and delicate finishes.
• Equipment care – vacuum filters and cloths are maintained and replaced regularly for hygiene and efficiency.
• Eco-conscious products – where practical, we use low-toxicity, biodegradable products and microfibre systems that reduce chemical use.
• Waste reduction – we minimise disposable items, re-using washable cloths and mop heads, and separating recycling where requested.

We’re always happy to discuss specific sensitivities, such as allergies, pets or small children, and we can adapt our approach accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Merton cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, the level of cleaning required and how often you’d like us to visit. Most regular domestic cleans are charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, and we’ll give you an estimated number of hours based on your description or a short survey. One-off or deep cleans cost slightly more due to the extra time and products involved. All prices are agreed upfront, with any parking or access costs clearly explained before you confirm your booking.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice requests in Merton, especially for emergencies, post-illness cleaning or last-minute visits from landlords or family. Availability varies depending on the day and season, so it’s always worth calling to check. If we can’t offer same-day, we will usually be able to propose the earliest possible slot and may suggest a focused clean on priority areas such as bathrooms, kitchen and main living spaces.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. Our public liability insurance covers accidental damage or injury related to our cleaning activities in your property. In addition, we hold goods in transit insurance for any specialist equipment or materials we bring to your home. We also train our cleaners in safe working practices to minimise risks in the first place. If you ever have particular concerns about items or areas, let us know in advance so we can take extra precautions.

What exactly is included in a standard domestic clean?

A standard domestic clean focuses on the key areas that keep your home looking and feeling fresh. This typically includes dusting and wiping accessible surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, cleaning hobs and sinks, vacuuming all accessible floors and mopping hard floors. We’ll also empty household bins and do light tidying where time allows. Deep tasks such as oven cleaning, inside cupboards, internal windows or limescale removal beyond routine levels can be added but are not included unless specifically agreed.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning in Merton, we recommend arranging your slot at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific day or time. One-off and deep cleans can sometimes be fitted in sooner, depending on our schedule. Busy periods, such as spring and pre-Christmas, do fill up quickly. Once you’re booked in, your time slot is reserved, and we’ll keep it consistent wherever possible so you know exactly when to expect us.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

You’re welcome to be at home, but it’s not essential. Many of our regular clients in Merton provide us with a key or arrange key-safe access so we can clean while they’re out. We operate clear key-holding procedures to keep your property secure, and any alarm or entry instructions are stored confidentially. On your first visit, you may wish to be present to walk us through your home and priorities. After that, most clients find it easier to let us work while they get on with their day.
